DCA-220SSJ/SSJU — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO MODE)

WARNING - AUTO MODE MAINTENANCE

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.

CAUTION - ENGINE SPEED SWITCH

The Engine Speed Switch must be set to the “High” position when running in the Auto-Startmode. Failing to set the switch in the proper position can result in damage to your generator when it turns on.

When starting generator in AUTO mode use the "Manual Start-up" procedure except where noted (see below).

1.Perform steps 1 through 6 in the Before Starting section as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.

2.Place the engine speed switch (Figure 54) in the HIGH position
