Engine Shutdown Add-On Kit 2
Controller Identification
See Figure 1 to determine if generator is equipped with
(A) an Evolution 1.0 (Sync 2.0) controller, or (B) an
Evolution 2.0 (Sync 3.0) controller.
Figure 1 - Controller Identification
Install Wiring—Evolution 1.0
(Sync 2.0) Controller
See Figure 2. The wiring harness in generators
equipped with the Evolution 1.0 (Sync 2.0) controller
includes multiple vacant pin sockets in controller
connector J2. Sockets J2-9 and J2-10 are used in this
installation. Two wire leads connect to the engine
shutdown switch(es).
1. Remove controller.
2. Disconnect J2 connector from controller.
3. Cut extension wire in half to create two extension
wires.
4. Strip 3/8 in. (10 mm) of insulation from ends.
5. Install extension wires in sockets J2-9 and J2-10.
6. Re-connect J2 connector to controller.
Figure 2 - J2 Connector (Evolution 1.0)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Verify wire leads are correctly
installed in connector positions J2-9 and J2-10 as shown.
Do NOT mistake position J2-1 for J2-10. Accidental
use of J2-9 and J2-1 will cause an electrical short and
permanently damage the controller.
Install Wiring—Evolution 2.0
(Sync 3.0) Controller
Two extension wires for the engine shutdown switch are
already installed in the wiring harness in generators
equipped with the Evolution 2.0 (Sync 3.0) controller.
Therefore, the extension wires included in the engine
shutdown kit are not used.
1. Remove controller.
2. Locate existing extension wires in generator harness
(connected to form a jumper). Separate connectors
in jumper so two individual wires extend from J2
connector as shown in Figure 3.

3. Carefully cut off quick connectors on the end of wire
leads (H). While firmly holding wires, strip 3/8 in. (10
mm)
of insula
tion from ends. DO NOT pull wires out
of J2 connector.
4. Connect wire leads to engine shutdown wiring.
NOTE: Some units may only have one wire installed to
form a jumper. If this is the case, cut the jumper wire in
half to create the two required leads and follow the
remaining installation instructions.
Switch Installation
Switches must be installed so that the UP position is ON
and that the DOWN position is OFF. Use a continuity
tester to verify switch ON position (normally closed).
• 15 kW and larger generators require two switches.
• For generators smaller than 15 kW, install the
exterior mounted switch for minimum NEC code
compliance.
