ADJUSTMENT

With the frequency between 62-63 Hertz, slowly turn the slotted potentiometer (Figure 2.5) until line volt- age reads 244-252 volts.

NOTE:

The access panel on top of the control panel must be removed to adjust the voltage regulator.

3.1BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

Once the unit has been installed and all electrical checks have been made, it is strongly recommended that the following “Break-in Procedure” be completed to ensure correct generator operation in the future.

1.Set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.

2.Turn OFF the UTILITY power supply to the trans- fer switch using the means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker).

3.The unit will start, and the transfer switch will transfer to standby.

4.Using the transfer switch’s built-in emergency load center, turn on circuits to load the generator to approximately 25% rated load and run the unit for one hour.

5.Run the unit for one hour at 50% rated load.

6.Run the unit for one hour at 75% rated load.

7.Run the unit for one hour at 100% rated load.

8.Turn ON the UTILITY power supply to the trans- fer switch, which will allow the transfer switch to transfer back to UTILITY power. The unit will continue to run for one minute and then shut down.

9.Allow the unit to cool.

10.Drain the oil and remove the oil filter. Replace the oil filter according to Section 4.4, “Changing the Oil Filter”. Replace the oil with synthetic oil as recommended in Section 4.3, “Changing the Engine Oil”.

11.The generator is now ready for service.

NOTE:

The voltage regulator is housed above the genera- tor's control panel. The regulator maintains a volt- age in direct proportion to frequency at a 2-to-1 ratio. For example, at 62 Hertz, line-to-neutral voltage will be 124 volts.

3.2USING THE AUTO/OFF/MANUAL SWITCH (FIGURE 3.1)

‹3.2.1 “AUTO” POSITION

Selecting this switch position activates fully automat- ic system operation. It also permits starting and exer- cising the engine every seven days with the setting of the exercise timer (see Section 3.6). This position also is used for remote starting, when it is set up.
