fuel issue. Check amperage value of loads and/or
fuel pressure.
12. Let the generator run at full rated load for 20–30
minutes. Listen for unusual noises, vibration, or
other indications of abnormal operation. Check for
oil leaks, evidence of overheating, etc.
13. Verify gas pressure while under full load. Record
loaded gas pressure: ______________.
14. When testing under load is complete, turn OFF
electrical loads.
15. Set the generator main line circuit breaker (genera-
tor disconnect) to OFF (OPEN).
16. Let the engine run at no-load for 2–5 minutes.
17. Press the generator OFF mode button. The engine
will shut down.
NOTE: If gas pressure under full load is below the mini-
mum operating pressure guideline, the generator may
not function properly. The pressure gauge needle should
also remain steady while testing. A fluctuating needle
indicates that gas piping may be undersized or restricted.
It may also indicate that a step-down gas regulator is too
small, or too close to the unit.
Checking Automatic Operation
Proceed as follows to check the system for proper auto-
matic operation:
1. Verify generator is OFF.
2. Install the front cover of the transfer switch.
3. Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer
switch using the means provided (such as a utility
MLCB).
NOTE: Transfer switch will transfer to utility position.
4. Set the generator main line circuit breaker
(generator disconnect) to ON (CLOSED).
5. Press the generator AUTO mode button. The
system is now ready for automatic operation.
6. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer
switch.
The generator is ready for automatic operation. The
engine will crank and start when the utility source power
is turned OFF after a five second delay (factory default
setting). After starting, the transfer switch will connect
load circuits to the standby side after a 5 or 30 second
delay. See Cold Smart Start. Allow the system to
operate through the entire automatic sequence of
operation.
With the generator running and loads powered by
generator AC output, turn on the utility power supply to
the transfer switch. The following will occur:
• After approximately 15 seconds (dealer program-
mable), the switch will transfer loads to the utility
power source.
• Approximately one minute after re-transfer, the
engine will shut down.
Installation Summary
1. Verify the installation has been properly performed
as outlined by the manufacturer and that it meets
all applicable laws and codes.
2. Test and confirm proper operation of the system as
outlined in the appropriate installation and owner’s
manuals.
3. Educate the end-user on the proper operation,
maintenance and service call procedures.
Shutting Generator Down While
Under Load or During a Utility
Outage
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid equipment damage, follow
these steps, in order, during utility outages. Shutdowns
may be required during utility outages to perform routine
maintenance or to conserve fuel.
To turn the generator OFF:
1. Set the main utility disconnect to OFF (OPEN).
2. Set the generator MLCB (generator disconnect) to
OFF (OPEN).
3. Allow the generator to run for a cool-down period of
approximately one minute.
4. At the controller, set the generator to OFF.
5. Remove the 7.5A fuse from the controller.
To turn the generator back ON:
1. Install 7.5A fuse in controller.
2. Confirm the generator MLCB (generator discon-
nect) is OFF (OPEN).
3. At the controller, set the generator to AUTO mode.
4. Generator will start and run. Allow generator to run
and warm up for a few minutes.
5. Set the MLCB (generator disconnect) to ON
(CLOSED).
6. Set the main utility disconnect to ON (CLOSED).
The system now operates in automatic mode.
Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and
render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
