6.5 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 C125 N6 and C150 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, you

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

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

temperature reaches 65.5 °C (150 °F) to allow the adaptive learn function to

initialize.

• The generator set is shipped from the factory with the proper level of engine oil

and coolant, but make sure to check each before starting the generator set.

• Start and operate the generator set following all the instructions and

precautions in the operator manual.

• Before leaving the site:

◦ Ensure that the bonding bolts are installed into the service panels.

◦ If the generator set is ready to be placed in service, put the generator set

in Auto mode to provide automatic standby power.

◦ Make sure the circuit breakers are in the ON position.

NOTICE

Contact your local Cummins service representative if you encounter a fault

code.
