Multiquip DCA125USI manual Generator SHUT-DOWN Procedures, Normal Shutdown Procedure

GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES

12.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).

WARNING

NEVER stop the engine suddenly except in an emergency.

NORMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:

1. Place both the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers as shown in Figure 54 to the OFF position..

Figure 50. Coolant Temperature Gauge

13.The tachometer gauge (Figure 51) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.

Circuit Breakers (ON)

15.Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 53) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if a load is in use.

3.Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5 minutes with no load applied.

4.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 56) to the OFF/RESET position.

5.Verify that all status LEDs on the MPEC display are OFF (not lit).

6.Remove all loads from the generator.

7.Inspect entire generator for any damage or loosening of components that may have occurred during operation.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

16.The generator will run until manually stopped or an abnormal condition occurs.

1.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 56) in the OFF/RESET position.
