Important Owner's Considerations
WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas
that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or
taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could
still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s
instructions/recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot
detect carbon monoxide gas.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your carbon
monoxide alarm sounds while using this product, get to
fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Engine Oil
The engine ships from the factory pre-run and filled with
full 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 the oil level as
described in the Maintenance section.
NOTICE: Any attempt to crank or start the engine without it
being correctly filled with the recommended oil will result in
equipment failure.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to obey this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
Battery
The installer must supply a rechargeable 12 VDC starting
battery. See Battery in the Installation section in this manual.
15 amp Fuse
Make sure that the fuse is correctly installed before operating
your generator.
Automatic Operation Sequence
The generator’s controller monitors utility voltage. If the utility
voltage drops below a preset level, the controller signals the
engine to crank and start. When the utility voltage restores
above a preset voltage level, the engine receives signals to
shut down. The actual system operation is not adjustable
and undergoes sequencing by sensors and timers on the
controller in the following manner:
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors the utility source voltage.
• If the utility source voltage drops below approximately
88% of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor initiates a
timer.
• The engine cranks and starts once the timer has
expired.
Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
This sensor monitors the utility voltage. When the utility
voltage restores above approximately 90% of the nominal
source voltage, a shut-down timer initiates and the engine
cools down.
Engine Cool-down Timer
When the system senses the utility power, the load transfers
to the utility source and the engine enters a five-minute cool-
down period.
Set the Exercise Timer
1. Push and hold the STOP/CONFIG button (B, Figure 22).
2. Push the START/SELECT button (C) to enter WRITE
MODE.
3. Enter the password (0000) by using the arrow keys (A)
and the START/SELECTbutton (C).
4. In the CONFIGURATION screen use the arrow keys (A)
to find "MODULE."
5. Push theSTART/SELECT button (C)and using
thearrow keys (A) find "AUTO EXERCISE."
6. Push theSTART/SELECTbutton (C)and using
thearrow keys (A)select each parameter and choose the
desired settings.
7. To save your settings when completed, push and hold
theSTOP/CONFIG button (B) until "Saving Settings"
shows on the display.
