GENERATOR STARTUP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

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, or auxiliary circuit breakers in the ON (closed) position.

If applicable perform the following:

Apply commercial power to the internal battery charger receptacle (to ensure good starting) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required. This capability is an option.

Apply commercial power to the jacket water heater receptacle (not necessary for warm climates) via commercial power. An external power cord will be required. This capability is an option.

1. Press the main circuit breaker “OFF” switch (Figure 34).

Figure 34. Main Circuit Breaker OFF Switch

2.Verify that the main circuit breaker “OFF” lamp (Figure

35)is lit (ON).

Figure 35. Main Circuit Breaker OFF Lamp

3.Place the three auxiliary circuit breakers (Figure 36) in the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Figure 36. Auxiliary Circuit Breakers (OFF)

4.Connect the load to the UVWO terminals or auxiliary receptacles as shown in Figure 37. These load connection points can be found on the output terminal panel. To gain access to the UVWO busbar terminals or other power receptacles, unlock the access cover and lift the door.

5.Tighten the UVWO terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires from slipping out.

6.Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 38).
