STARTING/STOPPING
PROCEDURE
STARTING
PREHEAT:
Depress the PREHEAT switch for approximately
15
seconds then, with the PREHEAT switch still depressed,
depress that START switch.
ISTART:
With both switches depressed the generator will start.
Release the START switch but continue to depress the
PREHEAT switch for about 5 more seconds. This allows the
oil pressure to rise enough to close the oil pressure safety
switch.
RUN:
With both switches released and the oil pressure and
coolant temperature protective circuits nom1al, the generator
will remain energized and continue to run.
FAILURE
TO
START
Should the engine not start when the START switch is
depressed for
10 to 20 seconds, release both switches and
wait
30
seconds. Repeat the procedure above and preheat
longer.
Never
run the starter
for
more than
30
seconds.
NOTE:
Some unstable running
may
occur in a cold engine.
Depressing the
PREHEAT
switch
for
10-15 second intervals
will help stabilize the engine
RPM
until the operating tem-
perature reaches normal
and
a load is applied to the engine.
Do
nDt
apply heavy loads until the generator has warmed
up.
STOPPING
Remove
the
AC
electrical load from the generator and
allow the generator to
run
for 3 to 5 minutes to stabilize its
operating temperatures.
Depress the
STOP
switch and hold
it
until the generator is
completely stopped.
Now
release the STOP switch.
REMOTE
PANEL
The
remote panel uses the
same
three toggle switches with
an
LED
light
to
indicate the generator is running.
STARTING
PREHEAT:
Depress the PREHEAT switch for approximately
15
seconds (the
LED
light will illuminate). With the
PREHEAT switch still depressed, depress that START
switch.
.
START:
With both switches depressed the starter will crank
and the
LED
light will dim.
RUN:
When the engine starts the
LED
light will brighten
signaling to release the START switch. Continue to hold the
PREHEAT depressed for about 5 seconds to allow the'oil
pressure to build up which closes the oil pressure safety
switch. The green
LED
will remain brightly illuminated
while the engine is running.
After the generator is started and the START switch is
released, the generator's starter will not crank unless the
PREHEAT switch is operated first because this switch
supplies voltage to the START switcb.
Once the generator starts, apply a light load
but
allow the
generator to warm up before applying heavy loads.
