7.1.1— Using Auto/Manual/Off Buttons
With AUTO mode active, the engine may crank and start at any time without warning.
Such automatic starting occurs when utility power source voltage droops below a
preset level or during the normal exercise cycle. To prevent possible injury that
might be caused by such sudden starts, always push the OFF button, remove the
fuses, and disconnect the battery before working on or around the generator or
transfer switch. Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the generator panel and
on the transfer switch.
