Carbon monoxide symptoms. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Carbon monoxide is a
poisonous gas present in exhaust gases. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless, nonirritating gas that can caus e
death if inhaled for even a short time. Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms include but are not limited to the following:
•
Light-headedness, dizziness
•
Physical fatigue, weakness in joints and muscles
•
Sleepiness, mental fatigue, inability to concentrate or speak clearly, blurred vision
•
Stomachache, vomiting, nausea
If experiencing any of these symptoms and carbon monoxide poisoning is possible, seek fresh air immediately and remain active.
Do not sit, lie down, or fall asleep. Alert others to the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Seek medical attention if the
condition of affected persons does not improve within minutes of breathing fresh air.
Carbon monoxide detectors. Carbon monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting, or death. Install carbon monoxide
detectors on each level of any building adjacent to the generator set. Locate the detectors to adequately warn the building's
occupants of the presence of carbon monoxide. Keep the detectors operational at all times. Periodically test and replace the
carbon monoxide detectors according to the manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
Remind family members, children, and visitors to use caution near the generator set. Generator sets connected to automatic
transfer switches will start automatically during exercise periods and power outages. Some generator components become hot
when the generator is running and remain hot for a time after the generator set shuts down.

Local Starting and Stopping

Start: Press the RUN button to immediately start the generator set.
Stop: Press the OFF button. The engine stops.

Automatic Operation

An automatic transfer switch monitors the utility power and signals the generator set to start when utility power is lost. Th e ATS
then transfers the load to the generator set.
When utility power is restored, the transfer switch transfers the load back to utility, runs the generator set with no load t o cool
down the engine, and then stops the generator set.
See the Automatic Operation with Model RXT Transfer Switch section and Automatic Operation with Other Transfer
Switches section for more information about automatic operation.

Remote Starting and Stopping

A remote switch connected to terminals 3 and 4 can be used to start and stop the generator set. Close the switch to start and
run the generator set. Open the switch to stop the generator set.
Run the generator set with no load for at least 2 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown.
