‹2.8.1 REMOTE START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop panel (Figure 2.18) is available that allows the user to start and stop the generator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hour- meter, generator run lamp, a fuel prime switch, and a wire harness. The hourmeter should be used in conjunction with the maintenance operations found in Part I of this manual.

The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and adjusted. It should not be required to adjust the unit any further except under special circumstances.

Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applica- tions. When making adjustments, however, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.

3.2BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Before starting, complete the following:

1.Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec- essary, fill to the dipstick “FULL” mark (cross- hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.

2.Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accor- dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.

DANGER

If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has been installed, it must be properly tested for leaks before operating the system in compliance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage is permit- ted. Be sure no gasoline fuel vapors enter the vehicle interior.

3.3INITIAL START

When absolutely certain that the unit has been prop- erly installed and prepared for use, start the engine as follows:

1.Turn off all electrical loads. Do this by setting the generator’s main circuit breakers to their “OFF” (or open) position.

2.Refer to Part I, section “Starting the Generator”, for cranking and starting instructions. The engine may require more cranking for initial starting since the fuel lines have to be primed (use of the primer switch will shorten this time).

3.Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to allow internal temperatures to stabilize.

4.Carefully inspect the engine/generator for fuel, oil and exhaust system leaks. Before proceeding to the next step, correct any leakage immediately.

5.When all tests and adjustments at no-load are completed, apply electrical loads and check for proper operation under load. See the "Testing Under Load" section. Run the unit at least 30 minutes with loads applied.
