Starting (Auto Mode)

DANGER - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAZARDS

Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a licensed electrician must install an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious damage to the building’s electrical system may occur without this transfer switch.

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

1.Perform steps 1 through 5 in the Before Starting section as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.

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

CAUTION - BACKUP GENERATOR USE

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.
