Before starting the generator set, thoroughly review the pre-start-up
checklist in the previous section. Proceed with generator start-up only
after checking each item in that section.
Thoroughly read and make sure you understand the engine operator’s
manual supplied with the generator. Follow the steps below and the
illustration on the opposite page in the order listed.
When using the generator as a stand-by or substitute power supply,
make sure the voltage and phase rotation of the line connections
match those of the utility lines or of any other power source normally
used. Failure to match phase rotation and voltage may cause
equipment connected to the generator to operate incorrectly!
This could create unsafe operating conditions.
4.16.1 Check position of voltage selector switch and make sure it is set for the
desired voltage output. Lock the switch in place.
4.16.2 Make sure the engine start switch (f) is in the off “O” position.
4.16.3 Turn main line circuit breaker (a) and convenience receptacle circuit
breakers to off “O”. This will disconnect all loads from the generator.
4.16.4 Move engine start switch (f) to “REMOTE START” to check operation
of engine control module. The LCD panel should momentarily display
INITIALIZING followed by READY and engine information. Check fuel
level and battery values.
Note: The warning light (d) will flash if the fuel level is below 15% or if
the main breaker is open. This will not prevent the engine from starting.
4.16.5 Press the emergency stop button (p). The LCD panel should read
EMERGENCY STOP. Pull out the emergency stop button after
verifying the display and return the engine start switch to off “O”.
4.16.6 Start engine by moving the engine start switch to the “START/RUN”
position.
After displaying INITIALIZING and NOT IN AUTO sequence, the LCD
display will read START DELAY followed by CRANKING as the
engine begins its crank cycle. The normal cycle is for the engine to
crank for 10 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds. This cycle will repeat
three (3) times. If the engine does not start within this time, the engine
control module (ECM) will shut down the engine and OVERCRANK
will be displayed on the LCD panel. To repeat crank cycle, return start
switch to off “O” to reset the ECM. Allow starter motor to cool between
start-up attempts.
4.16.7 After engine starts, allow it to warm up for a few minutes and check
readouts on LCD panel. Make sure battery charging system, oil
pressure and engine temperature readings are within normal ranges.
