Generator Output

[Jim and Jackie]

The generator on our 2010 R29 runs but there is not any output. It’s a Mase 4.0. There is supposed to be a circuit breaker between the generator and the main electric panel. Can’t get to the back of the generator, but can see and trace the ac wire from it to the panel. I don’t see any circuit breaker unless it’s mounted to the back of the generator or somewhere I can’t see it.

Does anyone know where it is located?

In both the Mase manual and code require that there be one.

This started when the low oil pressure alarm shut down the generator. The yard added 3/4 quart of oil and said they checked and the generator was fine. The lights on the generator control panel show everything working including the generator output.however, no green light or voltage at the generator switch.

There are other possibilities but, the switch seems like a good place to start.

I have a Mase 2.7 on my C28. It has a thermal overload breaker on the front main panel. I found a complete service online for download do a search.

Hi,
I have the same boat and generator and the reset button is on the back panel. I put my phone on video and held it on back
panel and found it that way.

Found the switch and it fixed the problem. It was in the generator enclosure behind the forward panel straight down with the cover off and in the center.

Seems it was moved to the outside of the panel a few years after our 2010 was built.

Don't know way it tripped when the low oil pressure caused the generator to shut down.
