GENERATOR STARTUP PROCEDURE (AUTO MODE)

STARTING (AUTO MODE)
NOTICE
Before connecting this generator to any building's
electrical system, a licensed electrician must install
an isolation (transfer) switch. Serious damage to the
building's electrical system may occur without this
transfer switch.
NOTICE
ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's internal
battery charger (if equipped) when connecting the
generator to an isolation (transfer) switch. This will
ensure that the engine will not fail due to a dead battery.
NOTICE
When the generator is set to AUTO mode, in the event
of commercial power falling below a prescribed level
the generator will automatically start by means of a
contact closure generated automatically by a transfer
switch.
NOTICE
The Engine Speed switch must be set to the HIGH
position when running in AUTO mode. Failing to set
the switch to the proper position can result in damage
to the generator when it turns on.
WARNING
When running the generator in AUTO mode, remember
that the generator can start up at any time without
warning. NEVER attempt to perform any maintenance
while the generator is in AUTO mode.
