GENERATOR INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Generators Instrument Control contains a compact
gauge package, control rocker switches, circuit fuses, check
engine light, emergency stop toggle switch and a recording
hourmeter. These components are described below.
The 8 pin connector that is on the back of the Control Box
is used to connect an optional remote start/stop panel or a
second instrument panel.
When an optional panel is connected, the 8 pin connector
with jumper should be kept for future needs when
troubleshooting. Secure it to the lifting eye.
FUSES:
The control box has two automotive type fuses. A
5 amp fuse protects the ECU and a 7.5 amp fuse to protect
the control circuit and instrument panel.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT:
The CHECK ENGINE LIGHT will
illuminate if the engine shuts down. (Refer to the Safety
Shutdown in this manual).
EMERGENCY STOP:
The EMERGENCY stop toggle switch
(Normally Closed) is located at the side of the control box.
When depressed, it will open the DC circuit to the control
box. This switch can be used when servicing the unit to
prevent an unwanted start.
REMOTE PANEL PLUG-IN:
A plug on the side on the control
box will allow for the remote mounting of the remote
instrument panel or the remote panel start/stop.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE:
Engine coolant (water)
temperature should normally indicate: 175° to 195°F
(80o to 90°C).
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE:
Oil Pressure (psi) may fluctuate
depending on the generator load but should range between
35
to
55
psi.
DC VOLTS:
Indicates the amount the battery is being charged
and should show 13 V to 14 V.
HOURMETER:
Registers elapsed time and is used as a guide
for when to perform scheduled maintenance.
PREHEAT:
The PREHEAT rocker switch serves two purposes:
activates the preheat circuit and activates the K2 Run Relay.
This supplies power to the DC altemator R, fuel pump, ECU,
Instrument panel, K3 Fault Relay pin #87 and Start toggle
switch.
START:
The START rocker switch when pressed activates the
Kl Start Relay which activates the starter motor.
STOP:
The STOP rocker switch when pressed and held,
opens the DC circuit supplying power to the K2 Run relay.
De-activating it and shutting down the engine drive.

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
Depress the PREHEAT rocker switch for approximately 5-10
seconds. Then with the PREHEAT rocker still depressed,
depress the START rocker. When the engine starts, release
the START rocker.
Remote Control Panel:
When the oil and voltmeter start to
register, release the Start rocker.
Continue to hold the PREHEAT rocker depressed until the
oil pressure reaches 10 psi. Then release the PREHEAT
rocker.
Once the generator has started, observe the meter readings
on the instrument panel. Ensure that raw water is being
discharged with the exhaust. Apply a light amperage load on
the generator and allow it to warm up to 140oF, then apply
your higher amperage loads as needed.
FAILURE TO START:
Should the engine not start after the
START rocker has been depressed for 5-l 0 seconds, release
both rocker switches and wait 30 seconds and repeat the
above start procedure. Preheat a few seconds longer. Never
run the starter continually for more than 20-25 seconds.
STOPPING:
To stop the generator, depress the STOP rocker
and hold it depressed, Release the STOP rocker when the
generator comes to a complete stop.
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL:
Release the STOP rocker when
the oil and voltmeter stop registering.
