OPERATING
.INSTRUCTIONS
ABNORMAL
STOP
An
abnormal
stop
is
one
in
which
the
generator
ceases
to
nm
and
comes to a
stop
as
a result of
an
operating fault
which
may cause damage
to
the engine, the generator, or create
an
unsafe operating condition. The fault stop conditions
are:
1.
Overspeed condition!.
2.
High engine temperature.
3.
Low
oilpressure.
4.
High exhaust temperature.
Should a fault condition
occur,
the engine will shut
down,
and
the
green
LED
light on the remote panel will
go
off
indicating that a fault has occurred. Once detected,
the
fault
should
be
located (see ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING).
OVERSPEED
SHUTDOWN
In
the
case
of
an
overspeed
shutdown,
the
overspeed
circuit
must
be
reset before re-starting
the
generator.
Simply
depress
the
Stop
switch
mtarily
then proceed with
the
normal
start
sequence.
If
the
overspeed switch itself
is
faulty
and re-setting it
by
depressing
the
SIDP switch will not reset the
circuit,
lift
the
T-1
coil
connection
from
the
overspeed
switch
and
tape
the
end of
the
T-1
wire
with
electrical
tape.
By-pass
this
circuit
only
as
a
test
Re-start
the
generator,
if
this by-pass
is
successful,
replace
the
faulty
oversi:ieed
switch.
Do
not
run
the generator
with
out
replacing
the
ov~peed
switch.
A
WARNING:
Do
not
operate
the
generator
with
·
the
overspeed
sWitch
by-p8S$ed.
Refer
to
the
CONTROL
PANEL
WIRING
DIAGRAM
in
this
manual.
NOTE:
Overspeed switches
draw
a small amount of
amperage (25 milliamps) at all times once the generator
is
connected
to
its starting
battery.
This
amounts to
approxi-
mately 18 ainp-hours
in
a
month.
It is not necessary
to
be
concerned with this slight amperage draw during normal
seasonal operation.
However,
if the generator set
is
to
be
unused for many
months,
it
is
best
to
either
remove
the
8
amp ignition fuse
from
the
control
panel
on
the
generator
or
turn
off
the
generator's
starting
battery
switch..

A
CAUTION:
It
is
very

REMOTE
PANELS
The

and
the

operate the same
as
the
generator
mounted
control
panel
except that they have
green
LED
lights
for
starting at
a,
remote location {where
the
soun(i
of
the
generator
may
not
be
audible). The
green
LED
lights
