Located above the 12v and 110v panel are these breakers and switches.
When on shore power, ensure the ‘shore 1’ and ‘shore 2’ breakers are on.
When using the generator, ensure the ‘generator’ and ‘transfer’ breakers are
on.
The 3 switches on the right hand side operate 110v systems:
Inverter: must be switched on when charging the batteries via shore power
or generator. Must also be on when using the 110v outlets.
Air conditioner and a/c pump: See the separate instructions for operating
the air conditioning for further information.

Inverter for Charging phone, cameras, etc…
Currently there is provided a Xantrex 400 Watt inverter which plugs into the
12v DC socket on the panel.
This device has a 600 Watt surge capability, but constant 400 Watts/
For 110 volt
Amperage X 110 = wattage
Or
Wattage / 110 = amperage
For larger requirements have the generator running with transfers and
outlets in the on positions.

4. Engine start procedures
•Engage the neutral button on the side of the throttle handle and set the
handle forward to apply some revs.
•Turn key anti-clockwise for 10 seconds to heat the glow plug.
•Turn key one click clockwise to ‘on’ (an audible alarm will sound).
•Turn key further to clockwise ‘start’ and hold in this position until engine
is running, (like a car ignition).
•Once the engine starts, adjust the revs if necessary and check that there
is water coming out of the exhaust.
•When the throttle handle is returned to neutral the button springs back in,
so the next time you move the throttle your gears will be engaged.
To stop the engine:
•Put throttle handle to neutral
•Push button to stop the engine, audible alarm will sound.
•Turn ignition key to ‘stop’ position.
•Leave ignition key in ‘stop’ position as per the above photograph.
Should you hear an engine alarm during operation, check which alarm light is
on and then shut down the engine and contact Horizon.
All yacht engines run with diesel. There is a diesel filler cap on the transom
which is clearly marked ‘Diesel’. DO NOT PUT WATER IN HERE!
Bow Thrusters
Only operate the bow thrusters when the engine is
switched on.
To switch the bow thrusters on; press the ignition
button at the bottom of the pad.
The bow thrusters will automatically switch off after 5
minutes. To manually turn them off press the ignition
button.

5. Daily engine checks
•Check the oil level using dip stick located to the left rear of the engine.
The level should be at least halfway between the empty and full marks.
To add oil open the oil filler cap on the top of the engine.
•To the back of the engine is the engine coolant reservoir. The coolant
level should be between the maximum and minimum lines.
•Check for any engine leaks or bilge water below engine.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF ALL MOVING PARTS.

6. Generator
Tatiana is fitted with its own generator which
will run the 110v outlets, the air conditioning
and will also charge the batteries in place of the
engine. The generator is located behind the
back panels of the aft cabin.
To start the generator:
•Make sure the 110v systems
are off prior to starting the
generator.
•Ensure that you have switched from shore power to generator power.
•Press the top switch down for 5 seconds. Whilst holding the top switch
down, pinch the bottom switch up. Hold them both until the generator
starts up and the psi reaches 58.
•The generator should continue to run when you release the switches.
•Allow the generator to warm up for 5 minutes and then gradually load up
the system, adding one load every 2 minutes.
Stopping the generator
•Turn off all 110v systems
•Push down quickly on the bottom of the switch and release.
•The generator will close down.
Resetting the generator:
If the generator trips out check the reset breakers on the front panel of the
generator itself.
YOU MUST NOT RUN THE GENERATOR WHEN UNDERWAY
