Service Code Detection System
The generator may have to run for long periods of time with no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped with sensors that automatically shut down the generator
in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other conditions. Refer to Service Code Detection System in the operator’s manual for more detailed information.
Final Installation Considerations
