Starting Instructions

Before start up, both the genset circuit breaker (CB1) and the refrigerated unit should be OFF. After start up, the
genset unit should be run for at least two minutes to allow the power source to stabilize before supplying power to
the refrigerated unit. This will eliminate the potential of any cold start transient spikes from reaching the refrigerated
unit. Cold start transient spikes can potentially cause nuisance over voltage alarms on refrigerated units that are
sensitive to electrical spikes or transients.
Beware of moving poly V-belt, belt driven components and hot exhaust components.
Under no circumstances should ether or any other unauthorized starting aids be used in con-
junction with the intake heater.
Piston rings in engines that have operated less than 100 hours may not be fully seated. This
may lead to the possibility of oil seepage from the exhaust pipe. To properly seat the rings,
operate the engine under full load for a period of 24 hours. If condition persists, check valve
clearance when engine is cold. (Refer to engine workshop manual)
Standard Units
1. Make sure that CB-1 is in the OFF position.
2. Hook up the 460 volt cable from the refrigerated unit to the Genset receptacle.
