GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

Before Starting

CAUTION

The engine’s exhaust contains harmful emissions.

ALWAYS have adequate ventilation when operating. Direct exhaust away from nearby personnel.

WARNING

NEVER manually start the engine with the main, GFCI or auxiliary circuit breakers in the ON (closed) position.

1.Place the main,G.F.C.I.,and aux. circuit breakers (Figure 36) in the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Figure 36. Main, Aux. and GFCI

Circuit Breakers (OFF)

2.Connect the load to the receptacles or the output terminal lugs as shown in Figure 10. These load connection points can be found on the output terminal panel and the output terminal panel’s hard wire hookup panel.

3.Tighten terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires from slipping out.

4.Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 37).

Starting

1.Place the voltage selector switch in the desired voltage position (Figure 38)..

Figure 38. Voltage Selector Switch

2.Preheat the engine glow plugs by turning the ignition key (Figure 39) to the “OPERATION” position..

Figure 39. ignition Switch

3.When the preheat lamp goes OFF (Figure 40), turn the ignition key to the “start” position. Once the engine starts, release the ignition key and allow it to return to the “operation” position (Figure 39).

Figure 40. Pre-Heat Lamp

4.Once the engine starts, let the engine run for 1-2 minutes. Listen for any abnormal noises. If any abnormalities exist, shut down the engine and correct the problem.

5.The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 41) should be displaying the 50 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.
