System Control Panel

The residential generator control panel, located inside the
generator housing, is shown below.
F
E
Brief descriptions of the controls used during installation are:
A - System Switch — Switches modes to OFF and AUTO.
B - Manual Over-Ride Switch — Turns generator ON
or OFF.
C - Digital Display — Displays running time and
fault codes.
D - Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the
exercise cycle.
E - 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the DC control circuits.
F - Circuit Breaker — Must be ON to supply power to the
transfer switch.
More information may be found in Controls in the
Operator's Manual.
System Switch
This two-position switch is the most important control on
the residential generator and is used as follows:
• "AUTO" position is the normal operating position. If
a utility power outage is sensed, the system will start
the generator. When utility power is restored, lets the
engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the
generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.
• "OFF" position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
15 Amp Fuse
Protects the residential generator DC control circuits. If
the fuse has 'blown' (melted open) or was removed, the
engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an
identical ATO 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied with the
unit. If fuse was blown or removed, you will need to reset
the excercise timer (see Setting Excercise Timer).

Final Installation 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.
• Refer to Maintenance and engine manual for oil
fill nformation.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W). This allows for
system operation in the widest range of temperature and
climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level
and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine
operator's manual.
NOTE: The use of synthetic oil does not alter the
required oil change intervals described in the engine
operator's manual.
Battery
The residential generator is supplied with a rechargeable
12 Volt battery. The battery cables are connected at
the factory.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
The battery may not be at full charge when installed. If
battery voltage is below 12 Volts, charge the battery.
See Battery in Maintenance of the operator's manual
for details.
