CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

Master Control Switch:

This switch is a three position toggle switch which allows the user to choose the automatic or manual mode of operation.

The center position is the off position.

By putting this switch in the OFF position the generator set will not start under any conditions.

To reset the control logic after a fault has occurred, this switch must be put into the Off position for a minimum of 10 seconds.

Run/Manual Mode: When the Master Control Switch is put into this position it immediately energizes the crank cycle to start the generator set. The generator set will continue to produce power until the Master Control Switch is put into the 'OFF' position or until a fault condition develops.
