Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel
◆2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER
Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start- ed in more than two weeks), you must press this switch for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the carburetor. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when you release it. It is not necessary to press the primer switch for LP units.
◆2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.
◆ 2.1.3 FUSE
NOTE:
If the PRIMEPACT 50 has been reconnected for dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), you can install line breakers having an amperage rating that is different than that stated in Section 1.4 (Page 5). The replacement line breakers consist of two separate breakers (one 20 amp, and one 30 amp) with a connecting piece between the breaker handles (so that both breakers will operate at the same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual voltage, it is no longer RVIA listed.
2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE
START/STOP PANEL
A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is available that allows you to start and stop the gener- ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourme- ter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.
