Setting Exercise Timer
The generator is equipped with an exercise timer. During the 
exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes 
and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT 
occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility power 
outage occurs).
The generator will only enter the exercise cycle if the unit is 
in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure is followed.  
To set the exercise timer:
NOTICE The generator is set with a deservice code exercise 
cycle setting of Tuesday at 2:00 P.M, Central Time. To 
change the cycle setting, proceed to the following steps:
  1.  Choose the day and time you want your generator to 
exercise.
  2.  Press and hold the left arrow and right arrow 
simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter the General Set-
Up program mode. See General Set-Up flow chart in 
Menu Section.
  3.  Verify and/or set the time and date on the unit.
  4.  Go to the SET EXERCISE prompt and hit the “OK” 
button.

NOTICE During the weekly exercise cycle, the generator will 
run for 20 minutes, but it will not supply power to the home. 
During the exercise cycle, the in-home monitor will continue 
blinking the GENERATOR READY green LED.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises, 
simply perform the procedure again.

  2.  Press and hold the control board OFF button.
  3.  Remove 15 Amp fuse from control board.

transfer switch, replace 15 Amp fuse in control board,

Service Code Detection System
The generator may have to run for long periods of time 
with no operator present. For that reason, the system is 
equipped with sensors that automatically shut down the 
generator in the event of potentially damaging conditions, 
such as low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and 
other conditions.
The generator’s control board shows service code 
descriptions scrolling across the digital display. The service 
code descriptions are listed below:
  •  Low Battery Voltage
  •  Low Oil Pressure
  •  Under Voltage
  •  Over Voltage
  •  Engine Does Not Start
  •  Low Frequency
  •  Engine Overspeed
  •  High Oil Temperature
  •  Transfer Switch Service code
  •  Battery Charge Circuit
