Circuit Breakers (ON)

14.Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 52) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if a load is in use.

Figure 52. 9Ammeter (Load)

15.The generator will run until manually stopped or an abnormal condition occurs.

WARNING

NEVER stop the engine suddenly except in an emergency.

NORMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:

1.Place both the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers as shown in Figure 53 to the OFF position.

Circuit Breakers (OFF)

2.Place the engine speed switch (Figure 54) in the “LOW” (down) position.

Figure 54. Engine Speed Switch (Low)

3.Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5 minutes with no load applied.

4.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 55) to the OFF/RESET position.

Figure 55. MPEC Control Switch (Off/Reset)

5.Verify that all status LEDs on the MPEC display are OFF (not lit).

6.Remove all loads from the generator.

7.Inspect entire generator for any damage or loosening of components that may have occurred during operation.

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

1.Place the MPEC Control Switch (Figure 55) in the OFF/RESET position.

AUTOMATIC SHUT-DOWN SYSTEM

This unit is equipped with safety devices to automatically stop the engine in the event of low oil pressure, approximately 14 psi (97 kPa), or high water temperature, approximately 230° F (110° C), overspeed approximately +15%.The alarm lamps on the ECU illuminate to signify the reason for the shutdown.

NOTICE

Before inspecting generator, check that the Auto/ Manual switch is in the OFF/RESET position, and place all circuit breakers in the OFF position. Allow suffi cient time for adequate cooling. When ready to restart, complete all steps in the Generator Startup Procedure section of this manual.
