How to Start and Stop the Generator

4.7.1 How to Start and Stop the Generator (Control Panel)
The start/stop rocker switch is the only functional component on the generator control panel (and optional
remote-control panel) used to start and stop the generator. The start/stop rocker switch is a three-position
switch with momentary contacts in the START and STOP positions and a stationary contact in the NORMAL
center position. This position allows the generator to run once started and enables one or more remote
start/stop panels to control the start/stop functions of the generator.

generator set responds.

run (4-6 seconds). Then, the engine will crank and start. A

engine in normal operation. If an emergency stop is required, turn off the DC circuit breaker.
