Automatic Shut-down System
This unit is equipped with safety devices to automatically stop the engine in the event of low oil pressure, approximately 7 psi (49 kPa), or high water temperature, approximately 230° F (110° C). The alarm lamps on the Engine Control Panel illuminate to signify the reason for the shutdown.
NOTICE
Before inspecting, turn the ignition switch to the STOP position, place all circuit breakers in the OFF position and allow sufficient time for adequate cooling. When ready to restart, complete all steps in the Generator Startup Procedure section of this manual.
