At the anchorage for the weekend, wake up Sunday morning and fire up the Apollo 9kw generator. Oppps, didn't turn off switch so it got started with a full load now no 110v. I didn't get a manual so I am trying to contact the manufacture, no response so far but it has only been one day. Only 60 hours on it so far and it has worked flawlessly to date. Any ideas? Is it possible I fried the generator side, didn't see any smoke or get any odd smells, and when I check the generator mounted voltage gauge it just bounces below the 110v reading.
