OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL
Starting the Generator
To start the generator, hold the momentary ON switch in the
up (on) position, then hold the momentary 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. Once the engine is
running, 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
sufficient oil pressure, then release it to its center position.
NOTE:
Should the engine fail to start, release both switches,
wait
20
seconds, and try again. Never run the starter more
than 20 seconds at a time.

Make certain the lubricating oil conforms with the ratings for
the prevailing temperature. Check the table under ENGINE
LUBRICATING OIL. The battery should be fully charged to
minimize voltage drop.
Stopping the Generator
To stop the generator, move the momentary START/STOP
switch to the down (oil) position then release it to the center
(normal) position.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
If the generator does not stop using the START/STOP switch,
remove the 8 amp fuse or disconnect the battery.
A
CAUTION:
Prolonged cranking intervals without
the engine starting can result in filling the engine
exhaust system with raw water. This may happen
because the pump is pumping raw water through the
raw water cooling system during cranking. This raw
water can enter the engine's cylinders by way of the
exhaust manifold once the exhaust system fills. Prevent
this from happening by closing the raw water supply
through·hull shutoff, draining the exhaust muffler, and
correcting the cause of the excessive engine cranking.
Engine damage resulting from raw water entry is not
a
warrantable issue; the owner/operator should keep this
in mind.

Abnormal Stop
An abnonnal stop is one in which the generator ceases to run
and comes to a stop as a result of an operating fault which
may cause damage to the engine, the generator, or create an
unsafe operating condition. The fault stop conditions are:
1. Overspeed condition.
2. High engine temperature.
3. Low oil pressure.
4. High exhaust temperature.
Should a fault condition occur, the engine will shutdown.
On the remote panel the green LED light will turn off indicat-
ing an engine shutdown. Once detected, the fault should be
located and corrected (see ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING).
