KNOW YOUR SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL

Compare this Control Panel illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these important
controls:
Circuit
Breaker
Hour Meter
15 Amp
Fuse
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 BUS AGC 15A fuse.
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.
