DCA-220SSK — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (AUTO)

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 8 (Before Starting, page 43- 45) as outlined in the manual starting procedure.

2.Apply commercial power to the internal battery charger receptacle (to ensure good starting) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required.

3.Apply commercial power to the jacket water heater receptacle (not necessary for warm climates) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required.

4.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 60) in the AUTO position (up).
