Brief descriptions of the controls used during installation are:

ARemovable Panel — To assist with conduit connection.

BCircuit Breaker — Must be ON to supply power to the transfer switch.

CSet Exercise Switch — Used to set time of the exercise cycle.

DManual Over-Ride Switch — Used to manually start and stop the generator.

E15 Amp Fuse — Protects the DC control circuits.

FSystem Switch — Switches modes to OFF and AUTO.

GDigital Display — Displays running time in hours, and fault codes.

HVoltage Regulator — Used to adjust generator output voltage.

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. If fuse was blown or removed, you will need to reset the exercise timer (see Setting Exercise Timer).

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 non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30W). This allows for system operation in a wide 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.

Coolant System

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50-

50 mix of automotive (Dex-Cool™ orange) anti-freeze and water. This will provide optimum year round protection against freezing, boiling and corrosion. The coolant system incorporates a water heater that operates when ambient temperature is below 80ºF AND utility power is present at the transfer switch. Before starting the engine, check coolant level as described in the engine operator’s manual.
