Important! To turn the generator off during utility
outages to perform maintenance, or conserve fuel,
follow these steps:
To turn the generator OFF (while running in AUTO
and online):
1. Turn the main utility disconnect OFF.
2. Turn the main line circuit breaker (MLCB) on the
generator to OFF (OPEN).
3. Turn the generator OFF.
To turn the generator back ON:
1. Put the generator back into AUTO and allow to
start and warm-up for a few minutes.
2. Set the MLCB on the generator to ON.
The system will now be operating in automatic mode.
The main utility disconnect can be turned ON (CLOSED).
To shut the unit off, this complete process must be
repeated.
