GENSET CONTROL PANEL
The genset control panel (Figure 1-3) is located be-
hind the maintenance access cover (Figure 2) and
has the following features:
Control Switch − This switch is used to prime the
fuel system, start and stop the genset and display
the fault code. Hold the switch in its START position
to crank and start the genset. Press the switch to its
STOP position to stop the genset. Hold the switch in
its STOP/PRIME position to prime the fuel system
(gasoline models only). See Troubleshooting
(Page 4-1) about displaying fault codes.
Status Indicator Light − This light is an LED (light
emitting diode) in the control switch that blinks rap-
idly during cranking and stays on continuously when
the genset is running. If the genset shuts down ab-
normally, the light will blink a numerical code to indi-
cate the cause of the shutdown. See Troubleshoot-
ing (Page 4-1).
Line Circuit Breaker − The line circuit breaker pro-
tects the AC power leads connected to the genset
from overloads and equipment short circuits.
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL
The vehicle probably has a control panel inside the
vehicle for remote control of the genset. Onan offers
three remote control kits:
S Remote switch with status indicator light only
(Figure 1-4).
S Remote switch with status indicator light and
hour meter (Figure 1-5).
S Remote switch with status indicator light and
DC voltmeter (Figure 1-6).
The hour meter records genset operating time in
hours. It cannot be reset. See the PERIODIC MAIN-
TENANCE SCHEDULE (Page 3-1).
The DC voltmeter indicates whether voltage across
the 12 VDC control system and battery is normal. If
the indicator consistently stays above or below the
normal zone, see MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
AND BATTERY CONNECTIONS (Page 3-5).
