To avoid an overcharging condition, and a possible equipment failure, do not disconnect
tbe DC battery source while tbe engine is running.
Automatic Shutdown
High Exhaust Temperature Shutdown Switch (normally closed)
An exhaust temperature is located on the exhaust elbow. Should tbe switch's sensor indicate an excessive
exhaust temperature, tbe switch will open and shut tbe generator off (an inadequate supply of raw water
coolant causes high exhaust temperatures). This switch opens at 260 - 270°F (127 - 132° C) resets at
approximately 225°F (107°C).
High Water Temperature Shutdown Switch (normally closed)
A high water temperature switch is located on tbe thermostat housing. Should the fresh water coolant's
operating temperature reach approximately 205° F (96°C), the switch will open and shut the generator off.
This switch resets at 195°F (107°C).
Low Oil Pressure Shutdown Switch (normally open)
A low oil pressure shutdown switch is located off tbe engine's oil gallery. The switch's sensor monitors
tbe engine's oil pressure. Should the engine's oil pressure fall to 5 - 10 psi, the switch will open and turn
the generator off.
Generator (AC Output)
Make sure tbat tbe AC output connections within tbe generator's AC terntinal block are correct and in
accordance witb the specific AC Load Connections diagram found later in this manual. (See tbe "BT
GENERATOR" section of tbis manual.) Make sure tbe AC leads are protected against chafing as they
exit tbe generator housing.
