Guardian Liquid-cooled 15 kW, 20 kW and 25 kW Generators

•Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.

•Set generator main circuit breaker to OFF or OPEN.

•Locate the rocker switch on the control panel iden- tified with the words “Set Exercise Time” (Figure 3.2).

•Push “Set Exercise Time” switch to ON position for 20 to 30 seconds and then release. Switch will spring back into its original position when released.

•Wait 30 seconds before setting the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to AUTO position.

If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is switched

!too soon, the engine may start. If engine does start, it will shut down automatically in about two (2) minutes.

•Set the generator main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED position.

•Generator is now programmed to start and exer- cise every seven days thereafter, on day and time of day the switch was actuated.

•Place a sign on the generator control panel and the transfer switch, indicating the day and time the generator will be exercising.

NOTE:

If battery terminals are disconnected, the exercise timer needs to be reset for correct automatic exer- cise operation.
