Auxiliary Shutdown Switch
All generators are equipped with an external means of
shutting down the generator which complies with the lat-
est NEC code requirement. The primary generator shut-
down sequence is described in Control Panel Startup/
Testing.
See Figure 2-11. An auxiliary shutdown switch is pro-
vided on the exterior of the generator back panel. This
switch shuts down the generator and disables restarts.
