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.

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.

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

1.Before attempting to start generator, reference steps 1 thru 5 in the “Before Starting Section” for Engine Operating Panel S/N 3701673 and below.

2.Set the battery ON/OFF switch (Figure 64) to the “ON” position.

Figure 64. Battery ON/OFF Switch

3.Set the engine speed switch (Figure 65) to the “High” position.

When the generator is set in the AUTO mode, the generator will

NOTE automically start in the event of comercial power falling below a prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is generated automatically by a transfer switch.

4.Place the Off/Manual/Auto switch (Figure 66) on the MPEC unit to the AUTO position.

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.
