DCA-100SSVU — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

Before Starting

CAUTION - LETHAL EXHAUST HAZARD

The engine's exhaust contains harmful emissions.

ALWAYS have adequate ventilation when operating.

Direct exhaust away from nearby personnel.

WARNING - STARTINGTHE GENERATOR

NEVER! manually start the engine with the main, GFCI or auxiliary circuit breakers in the ON (closed) position.

1.Place the main, G.F.C.I., and aux. circuit breakers (Figure 38) in the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Figure 38. Main, Aux. and GFCI

Circuit Breakers (OFF)

2.Make sure the the voltage change-over board has been configured for the desired output voltage.

3.Connect the load to the receptacles or the output terminal lugs as shown in Figure 13. These load connection points can be found on the output terminal panel and the output terminal panel’s hard wire hookup panel.

4.The output terminal lugs are protected by a plastic cover. Remove this cover to gain access to the terminals. Tighten terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires from slipping out.

5.Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 39).

Manual Start-up Procedure

1.Place the engine speed switch (Figure 41) in the “LOW ” (down) position.
