6.1 Avoiding Generator Set Shutdowns

By regularly performing the following periodic maintenance and guidelines, you will

greatly reduce the chances of a generator set shutdown:

• Maintain an appropriate oil level.

• Keep battery connections clean and tight.

• Do not overload the generator set.

• Keep the air inlet and outlet openings clear.

6.2 Control System

The generator set control system continuously monitors engine sensors for

abnormal conditions, such as low oil pressure and high coolant temperature. If any

of these conditions occur, the control will light a yellow Warning lamp or a red

Shutdown lamp and will display a message on the graphical display panel. In the

event of an engine shutdown fault (red Shutdown LED), the control will stop the

engine immediately.
