SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER

The home generator is equipped with an

exercise timer that will start and exercise the

system once every seven days. During this

exercise period, the unit runs for approximately

20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load

transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise

cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs).

A button on the control panel is labeled "Set

Exercise" (see System Control Panel). The

specific day and the specific time of day this

button is pressed is programmed into the control

board memory. This date and time is then used

to automatically initiate the system exercise

cycle. The "Set Exercise" legend on the control

panel will flash until the set exercise cycle is set.

To perform the Set Exercise procedure:

1. Choose the day and time you want your home

generator to exercise.

2. On that day and time, press and hold down the

"Set Exercise" button for three seconds.

NOTE: "SET EXERCISE" will flash until the

button is pressed for three seconds, then "SET

EXERCISE" will illuminate for 5 seconds, and

finally turn off.

3. The unit will then start and run it's 20 minute

exercise cycle.

For example, if you press the "Set Exercise"

button on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit

will run an immediate exercise cycle and an

exercise cycle will occur every following Sunday

at 10:100 AM (+/- 1/2 hour).

NOTE: "Set Exercise" will only work if the unit is

in the Automatic mode and this exact procedure

is followed. The exerciser will need to be re-set

whenever the 15 Amp fuse is removed or

changed, or if the 12 Volt DC battery is

disconnected.

If you want to change the day and time the unit

exercises, simply perform the "Set Exercise"

procedure at the exact weekday and time you

want it to take place.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the

unit clean. Operate the unit in an environment

where it will not be exposed to excessive dust,

dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air

louvers on the enclosure must not become

clogged with snow, leaves, or any other foreign

material.

Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and

clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other

foreign substances are visible on its exterior/

interior surface.

NOTE: DO NOT use direct spray from a garden

hose to clean generator. Water can enter the

engine and generator and cause problems.
