Preparing for Start-Up

DANGER
Automatic start-up. Disconnect normal power source
and render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
Before performing any maintenance on the generator, set
to OFF, remove fuses, and disconnect battery cables to
prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from
the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–)
first, then remove the POSITIVE, POS or (+) cable.
When reconnecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE
cable first, the NEGATIVE cable last.

Control Panel Interface

The Control Panel Interface is located under the lid of the
enclosure. Before attempting to lift the lid of the
enclosure, verify that both left and right side locks are
unlocked.
When closing the unit, verify that both left and right side
locks are securely locked.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by a servicing technician
troubleshooting procedures.
Figure 7-1. Generator Control Panel Location
With the control pad set to AUTO, the engine may crank
and start at any time without warning. To prevent possible
injury that might occur during sudden starts, always set
the control pad to OFF and remove the 7.5 amp fuse
before working on or around the generator or the
electrical loads that are to be powered by the generator.
For added security, place a DO NOT OPERATE tag or
placard at the control pad and the electrical loads that are
to be powered by the generator.
Never run the generator with any access panel removed.
