GU610A Controller Operation Manual NOTE: While cranking, engine ignites. The start motor will power off when the output frequency of generator reaches the preset value (configurable crank cutout value), or if there are one of the following conditions occur: A. Generator’s voltage reaches 80% of rated voltage;...
