Brief descriptions of the controls used during installation are: A - Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the exercise cycle.

B - System Switch — Switches modes to OFF and AUTO. C - 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the DC control circuits.

D - Service Tool — For qualified service personnel ONLY.

E - Digital Display — Displays running time and fault codes.

F - Circuit Breaker — Must be ON to supply power to the transfer switch.

G - Manual Over-Ride Switch — Turns generator ON or OFF.

More information may be found in Controls in the Operator’s Manual.

System Switch

This two-position switch is the most important control on the home generator and is used as follows:

AUTO” position is the normal operating position. If a utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the generator. When utility power is restored, lets the engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.

OFF” position turns off running generator, prevents unit from starting and resets any detected faults.

15 Amp Fuse

Protects the home generator DC control circuits. If the fuse has ‘blown’ (melted open) or was removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an identical ATO 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied with the unit.

Final Installation Considerations

Engine Oil

notice

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

Refer to Maintenance and engine manual for oil fill information.

Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void engine and generator warranty.

This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W). This allows for system operation in the widest range of temperature and climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine operator’s manual.

NOTE: The use of synthetic oil does not alter the required oil change intervals described in the engine operator’s manual.

Battery

The home generator is supplied with a sealed, valve- regulated, lead-acid rechargeable 12 Volt DC, AGM type, 55 Amp-Hour battery. The battery cables are connected at the factory. The unit’s 15 Amp fuse, which isolates the battery and prevents the unit from starting, has been removed for shipping. The battery will lose some charge prior to installation of the generator. If battery voltage is below 12 Volts, charge the battery. See Battery in the Operator’s Manual Maintenance section for details.

IMPORTANT: If battery voltage is below 5 Volts, it may not take a charge and you will need a new battery.

Fuel Supply System

Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and without leaks.

Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic operation is desired.
