Shut OFF utility power again. The generator should start and the entire emergency load should transfer to the generator.
Close the main breaker to restore utility power and allow the engine to cool down and shut itself OFF.
Setting The Automatic Exercise Function
With the mode switch in AUTO, press the EXERCISER switch. Hold it down for at least 10 seconds and release. The generator should start within a few seconds. The unit will run for about 12 minutes before shutting itself down automatically.
Once set, the generator will exercise each week at the same time. Be sure to show the owner how to set the exercise function on the day and time he/she wants the unit to exercise.
If the battery is ever disconnected for any reason, the exercise function will have to be reset.
If your generator is equipped with the low speed exercise feature, it was enabled at the factory and no adjustment is needed.
As you can see, this installation is not difficult. Simply follow all of the instructions that come with the generator and observe all safety procedures, applicable codes and regulations.
