2.1.1
HOURMETER
This indicates the length of time the engine/generator
has operated, in hours and tenths of hours. Use the
hourmeter to ensure that the periodic maintenance
tasks for the generator are completed on a timely
basis.
2.1.2
START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the
START position. Release the switch when the engine
starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold
the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts
off. The switch's center position is the RUN position.
2.1.3
FUSE
The 15-amp fuse protects the engine's DC control
circuit against electrical overload. If the fuse element
has melted open due to overloading, the engine can-
not be cranked. If the fuse must be replaced, use only
an identical replacement (i.e., AGC-15).
If a fuse element melts, find the cause of the
overload before replacing the fuse.
2.1.4
LINE BREAKER
The line (i.e., main) breaker protects the generator's
AC output circuit against overload and provides a
method of turning OFF the generator's 120/240-volt
AC output to the vehicle circuits. The generator has
two 40-amp breakers.
Refer to section "Generator AC Connection
System,". Individual installations will differ. If an
overload occurs, the dual breakers will open the
ungrounded (i.e., hot) stator leads (11 and 33 in
Figure 1.1). When the generator has been con-
nected for 120/240 dual voltage (Figure 2.16), the
line breakers will operate on the ungrounded (i.e.,
hot) stator leads (11 and 44 in Figure 2.16).
2.1.5
PREHEAT SWITCH
The diesel engine is equipped with glow plugs, one
for each cylinder. When the preheat switch is pressed,
the glow plugs heat the engine combustion chamber,
allowing for quicker starts when the engine is cold.
Pressing the preheat switch also operates the fuel
pump.
