STARTING (AUTO MODE)

DANGER

Before connecting this generator to any

building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious damage to

the building’s electrical system may occur without this transfer switch.

CAUTION

When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer) switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator’s internal battery charger.This will ensure that the engine will not fail due to a dead battery.

NOTICE

When the generator is set in the AUTO mode, the generator will automatically start in the event of commercial power falling below a prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is generated automatically by a transfer switch.

WARNING

When running the generator in the AUTO mode, remember the generator can start up at any time without warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance when the generator is in the auto mode.

CAUTION

The engine speed switch must be set to the “High” position when running in the auto-startmode. Failing to set the switch in the proper position can result in damage to your generator when it turns on.

NOTICE

When the MPEC control switch is placed in the AUTO position, the engine glow plugs will be warmed and the engine will start automatically.

When starting generator in AUTO mode use the “Manual Start-up” procedure except where noted (see below).

1.Perform steps 1 through 5 in the Before Starting section as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.

2.Place the engine speed switch (Figure 51) in the HIGH position

Figure 51. Engine Speed Switch (High)

3.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 52) in the AUTO position.
