‹ 1.8.6 LOW BATTERY

‹1.8.3 LOW COOLANT LEVEL SWITCH

Should engine coolant level drop below the level of the high coolant temperature switch, it is possible for the engine to overheat without automatic shutdown. To prevent such overheating without automatic shut down, the engine has a low coolant level sensor. If the engine coolant drops too low, the engine automatical- ly shuts down (Figure 1.6).

Figure 1.6 - Low Coolant Level Sensor

The engine control board continually monitors the battery voltage and turns on the low battery LED if the battery voltage falls below 12 VDC for one minute. Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises above 12 VDC. If battery voltage goes below 6 VDC during cranking, the low battery voltage alarm is latched, cranking is terminated, and the low battery LED stays on.

‹1.8.7 15A DC FUSE

This fuse is located inside the control panel. It pro- tects the panel wiring and components from damag- ing overload. The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and rating.

1.9UNPACKING

‹1.9.1 UNPACKING PRECAUTIONS

Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, colli- sion, etc. Store and unpack cartons with the proper side up, as noted on the shipping carton.

‹1.8.4 OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN

Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit board action will automatically shutdown the engine.

‹1.8.5 OVERCRANK SHUTDOWN

The engine control board uses a cyclic cranking process when attempting to start the engine. The first crank cycle is a 15-second crank followed by a seven- second rest. This is followed by five more crank cycles each with a seven second crank followed by a seven-second rest.

If the engine fails to start after all six attempts, the start attempt is stopped and the overcrank LED turns on.

‹1.9.2 INSPECTION

Upon delivery, carefully inspect the generator for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If loss or damage is noted at the time of delivery, have the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their signature under the consign- or’s memo of loss or damage.

1.10 LIFTING THE GENERATOR

When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, be

!careful not to touch overhead power lines. The generators weight of more than 900 pounds requires proper tools, equipment, and qualified personnel to be used in all phases of handling and unpacking.
