OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
ABNORMAL
STOP
An
abnormal stop
is
one
in
which
the
generator
ceases
to
run
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 oil pressure.
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
STOP
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
overspeed switch.
Do
not
run
the generator
with
out replacing
the
overspeed
switch.
A
WARNING:
Do
not
operate
the
generator
with
the
overspeed
switch
by-passed.
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 amp-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
controlpanel
on
the
generator or
tum
off
the
generator's starting battery
switch..
A
CAUTION:
It
is
very
important
that
the
overspeed
shutdown
always
be
installed
and
functioning.
Any
tampering
with
the
overspeed
shutdown
module,
which
would
cause
it
to
malfunction,
could
be
a
cause
of
injury
should
the
generator's
belt-driven
governor
fail
and
cause
the
generator
to
run
away.
REMOTE
PANELS
The remote startpanel
and
the remote instrumentpanel
operate the same
as
the generator mounted control panel
except that they have
green
LED lights for starting
at
a
remote location (where
the
sound
of
the
generator.may not
be
audible). The green
LED
lights indicate
when
the
generator is running
at
about
600
rpms.
That is
when
the
start
switch should be released. For the remote start/stop sequence
refer to
STARTING
THE
GENERATOR
on
the
previous page.
