The RUN, OFF, and AUTO buttons control the generator set as described in Figure 3-3.

Use the Select, Up arrow, and Down arrow buttons to navigate through the menus and change settings, if necessary. See Section 2.4 for operation instructions.

3.2.2LED Indicators

LEDs above the RUN, OFF, and AUTO buttons indicate the mode of operation as shown in Figure 3-4.

Load indication LEDs indicate the load on the generator set. A steadily lighted LED indicates that the load on the generator set is greater than or equal to the level label for that LED. The next LED flashes and stays on for a longer time as the load increases.
