2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE

START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel is available that allows you to start and stop the generator engine con- veniently from inside the vehicle.

You can order model 4057 or 4184, a remote panel that includes a Start/Stop switch, a generator run lamp and an hourmeter. The hourmeter provides a continuous indication of engine/generator operating time. Use the hourmeter for checking off periodic maintenance requirements on the unit.

2.3AUTOMATIC CHOKE

The engine is equipped with an automatic choke that consists of two main components: a choke solenoid and prechoke.

◆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.

◆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

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical replacement.

◆2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 120-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. The QUIETPACT 40G has 30-amp breaker.

◆2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at START), a solid-state choke module signals the choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts, the choke stops cycling.

◆2.3.2 PRECHOKE

The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive metal strip that adjusts choke valve angle according to ambient temperatures (i.e., in cold ambient tem- peratures, choke valve closes more). Once the engine starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive strip to a normal operating condition, opening the choke valve. This may take about three minutes in cooler weather.

2.4BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

NOTE:

Instructions and information in this manual assume the generator has been properly installed, connected, serviced, tested and adjusted by a qualified installation technician or installation contractor.

◆2.4.1 INSTALLATION

Generator installation must have been properly com- pleted so it complies with all applicable codes, stan- dards and regulations and with the manufacturer's recommendations.
