Operation
CONTROL PANEL COMPONENTS
1. AUTO/OFF-RESET/MANUAL Switch: Set
the toggle switch to the AUTO position for
automatic operation. Set toggle switch to
the MANUAL position to crank and start the
generator engine. Set switch to OFF posi-
tion to shut down an operating engine. With
OFF or MANUAL selected, automatic
operation will not be possible.
With this switch set to AUTO, the engine can
crank and start suddenly without warning. Such
automatic start up normally occurs when utility
source voltage drops below a preset level. To
prevent possible injury that might be caused by
such sudden starts, set switch to OFF before
working on or around the unit.
2. 7-Amp Fuse: Fuse protects the control
panel’s DC control circuit against electrical
overload. If the fuse has failed open due to
an overload, the engine cannot crank and
start. When replacing the fuse, use only an
identical 7-amp replacement fuse.
3. Main Breaker: Protects the generator
against electrical overload. With the
breaker in the OFF position, the generator
has no output.
4. Fault LED: Help to trouble shoot problems.
a. If the generator is placed in the auto
position, the LED light will flash green.
b. If the generator is cranking over, it will
be a solid yellow. If the generator does not
start, the LED will flash yellow until the next
cranking attempt.
c. The red light is for all fault conditions.
The number of flashes signifies what fault
has occurred:
-One Flash: Oil Pressure
-Two Flashes: Over Crank
-Three Flashes: Over/Under Speed
-Four Flashes: Battery Voltage
MANUAL START AND TRANSFER
To start the engine manually and transfer load
circuits to the EMERGENCY (standby) power
source manually, proceed as follows:
1. Check for proper manual operation of the
automatic transfer switch, using a manual
handle.
WARNING
Do not try MANUAL operation of the transfer
switch until all power supplied to the switch has
been positively turned OFF. Failure to turn OFF
the supplied power may result in an extremely
dangerous and potentially lethal electrical shock.
2. After verification that transfer switch oper-
ates manually, actuate the transfer switch
main contacts to the UTILITY position, i.e.,
LOAD terminals connected to the utility
power supply.
3. Turn ON the utility power supply to the
transfer switch with whatever means pro-
vided. With an AC voltmeter, verify that
correct load voltage is available at transfer
switch main contact, terminal lugs N1 and
N2.
4. On the generator control panel, set the
AUTO/OFF-RESET/MANUAL switch to the
OFF position.
5. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the
transfer switch, with whatever means pro-
vided.
6. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to
the OFF position.
