21.The generator will run until manually stopped or an abnormal condition occurs.
CAUTION:
Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious injury or death may result without this transfer switch.
CAUTION:
When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer) switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine will not fail due to a dead battery.
Starting the generator in the "AUTO" mode is similar to starting the generator in the "MANUAL" mode, with a few exceptions.
CAUTION:
When running the generator in the AUTO mode, remember the generator can start up at any time without warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance when the generator is in the auto mode.
When starting generator in Auto mode use the "Manual Start- up" procedure except where noted (see below).
1.Perform steps 1 through 10 (Before Starting, page 49- 50) as outlined in the manual starting procedure.
2.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 65) in the AUTO position (up).
