20. CIRCUIT BREAKERS

These circuit breakers provide separate overload current protection for each 120V circuit at the 240V receptacle, each 120V receptacle, the 120VAC in the 14-Pin connector, the 42VAC in the 14-Pin connector and battery circuit overload protection.

21. 120VAC RECEPTACLES

These two 120VAC (5-20R) receptacles with ground fault circuit interruption protection provide 120VAC for auxiliary power. Each receptacle has a 20 amp total rating. They are designed to protect the user from the hazards of ground faults. When the GFCI has tripped there will be no voltage available from the receptacle. If the GFCI has tripped, any device plugged into the GFCI receptacle should be unplugged and the reason for tripping the GFCI should be determined. If the device is found to be damaged or defective, it should be repaired or replaced before any further use. The GFCI should be checked for proper operation prior to each use by pressing the test button. The GFCI can be reset by pushing the reset button. Refer to the AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES section in the installation chapter for further information about these receptacles. Also refer to the AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION section later in this chapter.

22. GROUND STUD

Provides a connection point for connecting the machine case to earth ground. Refer to “MACHINE GROUNDING” in the Installation chapter for proper machine grounding information.

ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel filter housing is in the open position (lever to be in line with the hose).

2.Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close engine compartment door.

3.Remove all plugs connected to the AC power receptacles.

4.Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.

5.Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that the engine protection and battery charging lights are on. After 10 seconds, the engine protection light will turn off.

6.Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine START button until the engine starts.

7.Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

8.Check that the engine protection and battery charging lights are off. The engine protection light is on after starting, the engine will shutdown in a few seconds. Investigate any indicated problem.

9.Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even down to about -10°C. If the engine must be frequently started below -40°C, it may be desirable to install the optional ether start kit (K887-1). Installation and operating instructions are included in the kit.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backup shutdown can be accomplished by shutting off the fuel valve located on the fuel line.
