GENSET CONTROL PANEL
The genset control panel (Figure 2-1) has the fol-
lowing features:
Control Switch – This switch is used to prime the
fuel system, start and stop the genset and display
the shutdown code. Hold the switch in its START
position to crank and start the genset. Press the
switch to its STOP position to stop the genset. Hold
the switch in its STOP/PRIME position (starts prim-
ing in 2 seconds) to prime the fuel system (gasoline
models only). See Section 11. Troubleshooting
about displaying fault codes.
Status Indicator Light – This light is an LED (light
emitting diode) in the control switch which blinks
rapidly during cranking and comes on solid when
the starter disconnects, indicating that the genset is
running. If the genset shuts down abnormally, the
light will blink a code to indicate the cause of the
shutdown. See Section 11. Troubleshooting.
Line Circuit Breaker – The line circuit breaker pro-
tects the AC power leads connected to the genset
from overloads and equipment short circuits.
Hour Meter – (Models HGJAD, HGJAE and HGJAF
only) The hour meter records genset operating time
in hours. It cannot be reset. See the Periodic Main-
tenance Schedule (Page 3-1).
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL
Onan offers three remote control kits as follows:
• Remote switch with status indicator light only
(Figure 2-2).
• Remote switch with status indicator light and
hour meter (Figure 2-3).
• Remote switch with status indicator light and
DC voltmeter (Figure 2-4).
The hour meter records genset operating time in
hours. It cannot be reset. See the PERIODIC MAIN-
TENANCE SCHEDULE (Page 3-1).
The DC voltmeter indicates whether voltage across
the 12 VDC control system and battery is normal. If
the indicator consistently stays above or below the
normal zone, see MAINTAINING THE BATTERY
AND BATTERY CONNECTIONS (Page 3-5).
