15 Amp Fuse — Protects the Home Generator System
DC control circuits. If the fuse has 'blown' (melted open)
or was removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace
the fuse using only an identical ATO 15A fuse.
Circuit Breaker — Protects the system from shorts and
other over-current conditions. Must be ON to supply
power to the Automatic Transfer Switch.
Digital Display — Displays the total number of hours the
generator has been running and fault codes. Used to
schedule maintenance tasks and troubleshooting
operational problems with the Home Generator System. All
fault conditions are described in the section "Fault
Detection System".
Manual Over-Ride Switch — With system switch in
AUTO position, push the manual over-ride switch to start
the generator. Push the manual over-ride switch again to
turn off the generator

utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the
generator.When utility power is restored, lets the engine
stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the generator,
and waits for the next utility power outage.
• "OFF" position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
