Setting Exercise Timer - Briggs & Stratton 8kVA Generating Set Operator's Manual

Setting Exercise Timer

The generating set is equipped with an exercise
timer. During the 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).
The generating set will only enter the exercise cycle if
the unit is in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure
is followed.
To set the exercise timer:
CAUTION With the system switch set to AUTO,
the engine could crank and start at any
time without warning, resulting in minor or
moderate injury.
• To prevent possible injury that may be caused by
such sudden starts, always set the system switch to
OFF if performing maintenance on the system.
• Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or
around the generating set or transfer switch.
