NOTE:
Remote panels cannot be inter-connected. Only one panel can be used.
REMOTE PANEL
Starting the Generator
To start the generator, hold the ON switch in the up position
(the green light will come on), then hold the START/STOP
switch in the up (start) position (both switches are held up
together). After approximately one second, the starter will
engage and the engine will crank (the green light will dim).
Once the engine is running (the green light will brighten), the
starter will disengage, and the START/STOP switch may
then be released to return to its center (run mode) position.
Continue holding the ON switch until the engine has suffi-
cient oil pressure, then release it to its center position.
NOTE:
Should the engine Jail to start, release both switches,
wait 20 seconds, and try again. Never run the starter more
than 20 seconds at a time.

REMOTE START/STOP PANEL (HARDWIRED)
An optional remote start/stop panel is available for
controlling the generator from a remote location.
This panel has the same ON, START and STOP functions
previously described. Also included is a green LED light
which glows once the engine/generator has reached 600
rpm's. The purpose of the LED is to alert the operator to
release the START switch. It is also an indication that the
engine/generator is running.
REMOTE INSTRUMENT PANEL (HARDWIRED)
An optional remote in,strument panel is available which
includes a water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, DC
charging voltmeter, operating hourmeter, and start/stop
switches.
REMOTE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTALLATION
The remote instrument panel has two sending units to be
installed on the engine block, a water temperature sender
and an oil pressure gauge sender. Plugged ports for each are
located on the engine. The water temperature sender is
installed in the thermostat housing and the oil pressure sender
is adjacent to the oil pressure switch. Use sealing compound
on the threads of both senders. Electrical connections for
each sender are tied off next to the senders location (in the
wiring harness).
The blue wire is for the oil pressure sender and the tan wire
is for the water temperature sender.
If
there is a jumper
between terminal board connections TBI-I and TBI-2, it
should be removed. Refer to the REMOTE INSTRUMENT
WIRING DIAGRAM in this manual.
NOTE:
When insialling the optional remote panels,
it
is the
installers responsibility to comply with the U.S. Coast Guard
standards
33
CFR part 183.
