15 Amp Fuse — Protects the Home Standby Generator DC control circuits. If the fuse has melted open or was removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an identical BUSS AGC 15A fuse.

AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch — This three-position switch is used as follows:

•“AUTO” position is the normal operating mode. If a utility power outage is sensed, the generator will start automatically.When utility power is restored, the generator will shut down, and is ready for the next utility power outage.

•“OFF” position turns off generator, prevents generator from starting and resets any faults.

•“MANUAL” position starts the generator. It is used for maintenance or diagnostic functions.

Circuit Breaker — Protects the system from over- current conditions and must be in the “On” position to supply power to the Transfer Switch.

Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the exercise cycle start time and day-of-the-week. Exercise cycle only occurs in AUTO mode.
