5.7 Startup

WARNING

Automated Machinery

Accidental or remote starting of the generator set can cause severe personal

injury or death.

Isolate all auxiliary supplies and use an insulated wrench to disconnect the

starting battery cables, negative (–) cable first.

After verifying that the installation was completed correctly, start and test the

system. Make sure to connect the battery cables to the battery with the positive (+)

cable first.

Read through the Operator Manual and perform the maintenance and pre-start

checks as instructed.

The following information applies to C70 N6, C80 N6, and C100 N6 generator set

models only: Adaptive learn is an engine ECM function that allows the generator set

to "learn" its environment. There are small differences in the performance of each

engine and fuel system component, so the ECM uses inputs from the engine

sensors to adjust running conditions to operate more consistently for each individual

generator set. After installation is complete and while testing the overall system

function, the generator set must be run with no active faults under load (that is,

transfer switch connected to maximum customer load available) until the engine

temperature reaches 80 °C (175 °F) to allow the adaptive learn function to initialize.
