If utility power is restored and generator does not shut down after 10 minutes, set system switch to OFF and contact your installer or local service center.
This completes the test procedures for automatic operation. The generator will now start automatically and will supply power to the transfer switch when utility power is lost.
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows for system operation in a wide range of temperature and climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in Maintenance.

Operation

Important Owner’s Considerations

Engine Oil

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

t DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil. This may result in an engine failure.

t Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void generator warranty.

Automatic Operation

To select automatic operation, do the following:

1.Confirm 15 Amp fuse is installed in control panel.

2.Set the main distribution panel circuit breaker that sends utility voltage to the transfer switch to ON.

3.Set the generator’s circuit breaker to its ON position.

4.Set the control panel system switch to AUTO.

CAUTION With the system switch set to AUTO, the engine could crank and start at any time without warning, resulting in minor or moderate injury.

t To prevent possible injury that may be caused by such sudden starts, always set the system switch to OFF if performing maintenance on the system.

t Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or around the generator or transfer switch.
