2.12 Engine start switch
Location and
description
The engine start switch (e) is located on the right side of the control panel. It is a
three-position switch: “REMOTE START,” off “O,” and “START/RUN.”
Operation
REMOTE START position:
The REMOTE START position is the normal setting when the generator is
being operated as a back-up power supply connected to a remote switch.
In the REMOTE START position, the generator is in standby mode and will not
start until the remote switch closes.
START/RUN position:
In the START/RUN position, the switch immediately launches the engine start
cycle and activates the starter motor to crank the engine.
Off “O” position:
In the off “O” position, power to the engine’s electrical system, including the fuel
solenoid, is disconnected.
Note: When set in the REMOTE START or START/RUN position, the engine start
switch applies battery power to the control module to turn on the LCD panel, and
also energizes the engine’s electrical system.
