AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch
This three-position switch is the most important control
on the system and is used as follows:
• "AUTO" position is the normal operating position. If a
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.
• "MANUAL" position starts the engine after a short
amount of time. It is used for maintenance or diagnostic
functions.
15 Amp Fuse
Protects the Home Standby Generator 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 BUSAGC 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied
with the unit.
BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
Engine Oil
This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the
recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level
and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the
engine owner's manual.
I CAUTION
• Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void
warranty.
Oil Considerations
Your Home Standby Generator is equipped with an engine
that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require
the traditional "break-in" procedure.
The system is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W).
This allows for system operation in the widest range of
temperature and climate conditions.
NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the
required oil change intervals described in the engine
owner's manual.
Battery Connection
The Home Standby Generator is supplied with a 12Volt
DC 33 Amp-Hour battery. It is a sealed, lead-acid
rechargeable battery. It is installed in the unit and the
battery cables are connected at the factory.The unit's
15 Amp fuse, which isolates the battery and prevents the
unit from starting, has been removed for shipping.
If it is necessary to service the battery, proceed as follows:
I. Set the generator's "AUTO/OFF/MANUAL" switch to
OFF.
2. Remove the 15 Amp fuse from the control panel.
3. Service or replace battery as required.
4. Connect the red battery cable to the battery positive
terminal (indicated by POSITIVE, POS, or (+).
5. Connect the negative battery cable to the negitive battery
terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-).
6. Ensure hardware on both positive and negative battery
terminals is secure.
7. Reinstall the IS Amp fuse in the control panel.
