3.7 INSTALLATION SUMMARY

1. Ensure that 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.

Important! If the end user ever finds it necessary to turn the gen-

erator off during prolonged utility outages to conserve on fuel,

educate them on these simple, but important steps:

To turn the generator OFF (while running in AUTO and online):

1. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the main Utility disconnect.

2. Turn OFF (or OPEN) the Main Line Circuit Breaker (MLCB) on

the generator.

3. Turn the generator OFF.

To turn the generator back ON:

1. Put the generator back into AUTO and allow to start and warm-up

for a few minutes.

2. Turn ON (or CLOSE) the MLCB on the generator.

The system will now be operating in its automatic mode. The main

utility disconnect can be turned ON (or CLOSED), but to shut the unit

off, this complete process must be repeated.
