PRIMEPACT 50 and 70 (50Hz) Recreational Vehicle Generators

2.1GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL

The following features are mounted on the generator control panel (Figure 2.1):

Figure 2.1 – Generator Control Panel

2.2OPTIONAL REMOTE

START/STOP PANEL

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel (Figure 2.2) is available that allows you to start and stop the gener- ator engine conveniently from inside the vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hour meter, generator run lamp and a wire harness.

◆2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER

Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start- ed in more than two weeks), you must press this switch for approximately five seconds to bring fuel from the tank to the fuel pump. This rocker type switch springs back into its original position when you release it.

◆2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH

To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the START position. Release the switch when the engine starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts off. The switch center position is the RUN position.

◆2.1.3 FUSE

The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element has melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an identical replacement.

◆2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER

The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output circuit against overload and provides a method of turning OFF the generator’s 230-volt AC output to the vehicle circuits. These generators have either a 25 Amp, 2-Pole circuit breaker (PP50) or a 30 Amp 2-Pole circuit breaker (PP70).

2.3AUTOMATIC CHOKE

This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that consists of two main components: a choke solenoid and prechoke.

◆2.3.1 CHOKE SOLENOID

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at START), a solid-state choke module signals the choke solenoid to activate and cycle (choke on/choke off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid thus opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only when the engine is cranking. When the engine starts, the choke stops cycling.

◆2.3.2 PRECHOKE

The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive metal strip that adjusts choke valve angle according to ambient temperatures (i.e., in cold ambient tem- peratures, choke valve closes more). Once the engine starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive strip to a normal operating condition, opening the choke valve. This may take about three minutes in cooler weather.
