2.9.1 REMOTE PANEL MODELS
The remote panels mount a rocker type start/stop
switch, a "Generator Run" advisory lamp and an
hourmeter. The hourmeter should be used in con-
junction with the maintenance operations found in
Part I of this manual.
• Model 004057 includes the remote panel and a 10
foot long, 4 wire harness.
• Model 004184 includes the remote panel and a 30
foot long, 4 wire harness.
3.1
POST INSTALLATION TESTS
The air-cooled generator set was factory tested and
adjusted. You should not be required to adjust the
unit any further except under special circumstances.
Do not make any unnecessary adjustments.
!
Factory settings are correct for most applica-
tions. When making adjustments, however, be
careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.
3.2
BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if nec-
essary, fill to the dipstick "FULL " mark (cross-
hatched area) with the recommended oil. Do not
fill above the FULL mark.
2. Check the fuel supply. Gas fuel lines must have
been properly purged and leak tested in accor-
dance with applicable fuel codes. All fuel shutoff
valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
DANGER
If a liquid propane (LP) gas fuel system has
!
been installed, it must be properly tested for
leaks before operating the system in compli-
ance with ANSI A119.2/NFPA 501C. No leakage
is permitted. You must be sure no gasoline fuel
vapors enter the vehicle interior.

The generator set was thoroughly tested and
adjusted at the factory before shipping. No addi-
tional adjustment should be necessary. Only qual-
ified service technicians who have been trained
should perform adjustments outlined in this man-
ual.
3.4
Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-
cent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied.
During this part of the test, check that the unit is not
running excessively hot and that adequate cooling air-
flow is available. You must not allow the unit to over-
heat during prolonged operation.
The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-
perature switch. The switch has normally closed
(N.C.) contacts. When the engine temperature is
too high, switch contacts close, and the engine
shuts down automatically.
