Auxiliary Shutdown Switch
All generators are equipped with an external means of
shutting down the generator which complies with the
latest NEC code requirement. The primary generator
shutdown sequence is described in Control Panel Start-
Up/Testing.
See Figure 2-10. An auxiliary shutdown switch is
provided on the exterior of the generator back panel. This
switch shuts down the generator and disables restarts.
Figure 2-10. Auxiliary Shutdown Switch (all models)
NOTE: Whenever possible, perform the primary
shutdown procedure before disabling the generator with
the auxiliary shutdown switch.
See Figure 2-11. 16-22 kW generators also have an
auxiliary shutdown switch located inside the generator.
Figure 2-11. Auxiliary Shutdown Switch (16-22kW)
The generator will not start if either switch is OPEN (O). The
controller displays an “Auxiliary Shutdown” alarm, and the
red LED “Alarm” light illuminates until the switch or switches
are CLOSED (I) and the alarm is cleared by pressing OFF
mode button, and then ENTER. Once cleared, the
generator can be placed back in AUTO or MANUAL.
CAUTION

not to be used to power down the unit under normal

equipment damage.
