Test System Operation (Simulate a Power Outage)

Partial disassembly and special tools are required to accurately measure voltage output and frequency. For this reason we recommend you have an authorized Service Dealer test the system operation.

1.	Set the generator’s system switch to OFF.
2.	Remove the 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
3.	Remove four screws that hold circuit breaker cover to air
	intake guard.
4.	Connect an accurate voltage and frequency meter to line
	side of generator’s main circuit breaker.
5.	Set generator’s main circuit breaker to ON (closed)
	position.
6.	Install 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
7.	Set generator’s system switch to AUTO.

	expired, the engine will crank and start.
9.	The transfer switch will transfer to Generator power.
10.	Apply various loads to the generator and observe its
	performance.
11.	Exercise the generator under varying loads for 30
	minutes. Monitor the output voltage and frequency
	of the generator to verify it’s performance is within
	specifications.
12.	Turn utility power ON.
13.	When the load is transferred back to the utility power
	source, the engine cool-down tim					er starts timing.
14.	The generator will run for abo							nute to cool
