21. CIRCUIT BREAKERS

These circuit breakers provide separate overload current protection for each 220V receptacle, the 42VAC AND 115VAC in the 14-Pin connector and battery circuit overload protection.

22. 220VAC RECEPTACLES

These three 220VAC receptacles provide up to 15 amp rating each. Refer to the AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES section in the installation chapter for further information about these receptacles. Also refer to the AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION section later in this chapter.

23. EARTH STUD

Provides a connection point for connecting the machine case to earth. Refer to “MACHINE EARTHING” in the Installation chapter for proper machine earthing information.

24. RCD

Residual Current Device provides protection from Active to Earth contact.

It will not protect against electric shock resulting from contact with Active and Neutral Wires.

25. 3 phase Circuit Breaker

Provides over current protection for the Auxiliary Outputs.

ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel filter housing is in the open position (lever to be in line with the hose).

2.Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close engine compartment door.

3.Remove all plugs connected to the AC power receptacles.

4.Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.

5.Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that the engine protection and battery charging lights are on. After 10 seconds, the engine protection light will turn off.

6.Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine START button until the engine starts.

7.Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

8.Check that the engine protection and battery charging lights are off. The engine protection light is on after starting, the engine will shutdown in a few seconds. Investigate any indicated problem.

9.Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even down to about -10°C. If the engine must be frequently started below -40°C, it may be desirable to install the optional ether starter kit (K887-1). Installation and operating instructions are included in the kit.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backup shutdown can be accomplished by shutting off the fuel valve located on the fuel line.
