7.3 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
NOTE: These units have been run and tested at the factory prior to being shipped and do not require any type of break-in.
Never operate the engine with the oil level below the "Add" mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.
NOTE: This unit comes filled with 30 weight organic oil from the factory. Check the oil level and add the appropriate viscosity and amount
if necessary.
7.3.1 Installation Assistant
Interconnect System Self Test Feature
Upon power up, this controller will go through a system self test which will check for the presence of utility voltage on the DC circuits. This is done to
prevent damage if the installer mistakenly connects AC utility power sense wires into the DC terminal block. If utility voltage is detected, the controller
will display a warning message and lock out the generator, preventing damage to the controller. Power to the controller must be removed to clear this
warning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at the N1 and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for this test to be performed and pass.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during any operation of the generator. This includes operation, while conducting
troubleshooting procedures, by a servicing technician.
7.3.2 Before starting, complete the following:
1. Ensure that the generator is OFF.
2. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to the OFF (or OPEN) position.
3. Turn off all breakers that will be powered by the generator.
4. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if necessary, fi ll to the dipstick FULL mark with the recommended oil. Do not fi ll above the FULL mark.
5. Check the fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accordance with applicable fuel-gas codes. All fuel
shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
During initial start up only, the generator may exceed the normal number of start attempts and experience an "overcrank" fault. This is due to
accumulated air in the fuel system during installation. Reset the control board by pushing the OFF button and ENTER key, and restart up to two more
times if necessary. If unit fails to start, contact a local dealer for assistance.
7.4 CHECK MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCH OPERATION
Refer to the "Manual Transfer Operation" section of the owner's manual for procedures.
Do not attempt manual transfer switch operation until all power voltage supplies to the transfer switch have been positively turned
off. Failure to turn off all power voltage supplies will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
7.5 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Complete electrical checks as follows:
1. Ensure that the generator is OFF.
2. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to the OFF (or OPEN) position.
3. Turn OFF all circuit breakers/electrical loads that will be supplied by the generator.
4. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer switch using the means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker).
The transfer switch is now electrically "hot." Contact with "hot" parts will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal
electrical shock. Proceed with caution.
