stopping it.)
The STOP switch opens the circuit to the fuel
run solenoid, de-energizing it, moving the throttle arm into
the shut off position, stopping the engine._
REMOTE ENGINE OPERATION:
For remote operation of the generator system, the same three switches
are used.
The PREHEAT and START swi tches are connected in parallel
with the local panel switches and serve the same functions as in the
local panel.
The STOP switch is in series with the local panel STOP
swi tch,
and
serves
the
same
functions
as
in
the
local
panel.
The
gener ator may be stopped from local or remote posi tions.
The green
indicator
light
in
the
remote
panel
signals
that
the
engine
has
started
and
to
release
the
START
swi tch
only.
Hold
the
PREHEAT
depressed for a few more seconds to allow oil pressure to rise.
AC GENERATORS:
Once the diesel generator sets have been placed in operation, there is
little or no control adjustment required by the A.C. Generator.
When
starting the generator,
it is always a good plan to switch off all
A.C.
loads, especially large motors, until the engine has come up to
speed and,
in cold climates,
starts to warm up.
These precautions
will prevent damage by unanticipated operation of A.C. machinery and
prevent a cold engine from being stalled.
