Figure 24: Control Panel Illumination
Press and hold the WHITE control panel illumination button in dark lighting conditions to turn on the panel display
lights and illuminate the controls when the genset is stopped; the lights automatically turn on whenever the genset is
running. Gauge lights include: DC voltmeter, AC voltmeter, AC ammeter, AC frequency meter. Two display LEDs
illuminate the remaining gauges and the control switches. The genset engine Oil Pressure gauge, the Coolant Temperature
gauge, and the Engine Digital Display are all backlight when the genset Stop/Run/Start Switch is in the RUN position
however these gauges only indicate actual information when the genset engine is running.

Genset Stop/Run/Start Switch

STOP — Turn the genset
Stop/Run/Start switch to the
STOP position in order to
stop the genset; the main breaker—if
set—will automatically trip as the
genset slows to a stop.
START — Turn the genset
Stop/Run/Start switch all the
way clockwise
START position in order to crank
the Genset. Crank the Genset until
the engine catches; this should take
no more than 10 seconds. Note:
Special cold start precautions must
be taken for ambient temperatures
below 0 ºC (32 ºF), refer to the Cold
Weather section
manual.
RUN — Release
Stop/Run/Start switch as soon as the
engine catches; the switch will self-
return to the Run position.
Note: If the engine fails to start, the genset Stop/Run/Start switch must be returned to the STOP position in order to attempt
to start the engine again; the Stop/Run/Start switch has an anti-restart feature built into it to prevent the switch from being
turned to the Start position directly from the Run position.
