ENGINE BREAK-IN REQUIREMENTS

Note: The EPA final tier 4 Isuzu engines have an engine break-in duration that will prohibit the unit from providing
rated standby power upon factory delivery. The unit is tested at the factory and is initially capable of a prime standby
power output. The engine performance will increase to 95% of full rated power during the first 20 hours of loaded
operation. The unit will provide full rated power after the complete engine break-in period of 70 hours of loaded
operation.
Operate the engine at heavy loads (60-90% [24-36kW] of rated output maximum) as much as possible during the
break-in period. If the engine has spent significant time at idle, constant speed(s) and/or light load or if makeup oil
is required, a longer break in period may be needed. Refer to the engine operator's manual for a full description of
necessary procedures on the addition of oil and extension of the break-in period. For more information on regular
maintenance intervals, refer to

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH

MANUAL STARTING OF THE UNIT

All units equipped with the L401 controller will initially start up in Stop mode. Use the following procedure to start the

of the lights are pushed in to the reset position.
2. Move the Control Power switch to the ON (I) position.
3. When the controller powers up, the Home screen will
be displayed and the controller will be in Stop mode
as indicated by the Stop LED being lit. Press the Start
button to initiate the startup procedure and start the
engine, provided there are no engine faults
preventing the unit from starting. The Start LED will
now become lit.
Note: The controller can be started from any screen. It
may take a few seconds for the engine to run smoothly
and reach its governed operating speed.
