tbe DC battery source while tbe engine is running.
Automatic
Shutdown
High Exhaust Temperature Shutdown Switch (normally closed)
An exhaust temperature is located on the exhaust elbow.
Should tbe switch's sensor indicate an excessive
exhaust temperature, tbe switch will open and shut tbe generator off (an inadequate supply
of raw water
coolant causes high exhaust temperatures). This switch opens
at 260 - 270°F (127 - 132° C) resets at
approximately 225°F (107°C).
High Water Temperature Shutdown Switch (normally closed)
A high water temperature switch is located on tbe thermostat housing.
Should the fresh water coolant's
operating temperature reach approximately
205° F (96°C), the switch will open and shut the generator off.
This switch resets at 195°F (107°C).
Low Oil Pressure Shutdown Switch (normally open)
A low oil pressure shutdown switch is located off tbe engine's oil gallery. The switch's sensor monitors
tbe engine's oil pressure. Should the engine's oil pressure fall to 5 -
10 psi, the switch will open and turn
the generator off.
Generator (AC Output)
Make sure tbat tbe AC output connections within tbe generator's AC terntinal block are correct and in
accordance witb the specific AC Load Connections diagram found later in this manual. (See tbe "BT
GENERATOR" section
of tbis manual.) Make sure tbe AC leads are protected against chafing as they
exit tbe generator housing.
I WARNING I
Do not smoke or allow an open flame near batteries. Lead acid batteries emit hydrogen,
a highly-explosive gas.
Batteries
Make sure tbe positive (+) battery connection is connected to the battery connection of tbe starting
solenoid. The negative (-) battery connection should be connected to the ground stud tagged
at the rear of
the engine block.
