NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended coolant or oil will result in equipment failure.
•Refer to the Maintenance section for coolant and oil fill information.
•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
The generator’s control board constantly monitors utility voltage. Should utility voltage drop below a preset level, the control board will signal the engine to crank and start.
When utility voltage is restored above a preset voltage level, the engine is signaled to shut down.
The actual system operation is not adjustable and is sequenced by sensors and timers on the control board, as follows:
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility source voltage.
This engine is shipped from the factory
•If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a 3 second timer. The timer is used to ‘sense’ brown‑outs.
•Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and start.
