DCA-600SSK — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (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 - 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.

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.

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.

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

1.Perform steps 1 through 4 in the Before Starting section (page 45) as outlined in the Manual Starting Procedure.

2.Set the battery ON/OFF switch (Figure 66) to the “ON” position.

When the generator is set in the “ AUTO ” mode, the generator will automatically start in the event of

NOTE commercial power falling below a prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is generated automatically by a transfer switch.

3.Set the engine speed switch (Figure 67) to the “High” position.
