Starting Procedure
The generator is equipped with a preheat feature. Place
controller start switch in Stop-Preheat position for the
amount of time shown in Figure 2-3 before attempting to
start the generator set. This provides energizing of the
glow plugs. Do not energize preheat feature for more
than 20 seconds or damage may occur. Move the
Start/Stop switch to the Start position and hold in this
position until the engine is running, then release. Do not
crank engine continuously for more than 10 seconds at
a time. A 60-second cooldown period must be allowed
between cranking attempts if the engine does not start.
If the unit fails to start after three attempts, contact an
authorized service dealer or distributor for repair.
Failure to follow these guidelines may result in burnout
of the starter motor.

If the engine starts and then stops, allow the engine to
come to a complete stop before making a restart
attempt. If the flywheel ring gear is still rotating when the
starter pinion gear is engaged, the pinion gear will clash
which may damage the ring gear teeth.

before attempting to restart.
