Wattage Requirements
If the rated capacity of the generator setisexceeded,the
circuit breaker located on the controller will trip to protect
the generator against damage. Tripping could be
caused by a short in the AC circuit in the craft or simply
by having too many appliances on at the same time
resulting in an overload condition. If the circuit breaker
trips, the set may continue running but there will be no
AC output to the protected circuit. Before resetting the
circuit breaker, turn off some of the appliances and lights
inside the craft to bring the load down within the rated
limits of the set. If this is done and the circuit breakertrips
again after being reset, see a qualified electrician.

Generator Service
General
Under normal conditions generator service will not be
required on a regular basis. If operating under dusty and
dirty conditions, use DRY compressed air to blow dust
out of the generator at frequent intervals. Do this with the
generator set operating and direct the stream of air in
through the cooling slots at the end of the generator.
The end bracket bearing should be replaced every
10,000 hours of operation. Have bearing replaced
sooner if bearing inspection indicates excessive rotor
end play or bearing damage from corrosion or heat
buildup. The end bracket bearing is sealed and requires
no additional lubrication. All generator service must be
performed by an authorized service dealer/distributor.
