DCA-400SSK Generator Shutdown Procedure

DCA-400SSK — GENERATOR SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

Engine Shutdown

To shutdown the generator use the following procedure:

1.Place both the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers to the "OFF position".

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

3.Place the Off/Manual/Auto Switch (Figure 52) in the "OFF/ RESET" position

Emergency Stop

1.To stop the engine in the event of an emergency, PUSH the emergency stop button ( Figure 54) inward.This button is located on the generator's engine operating panel, see page 30, Figure 11.
