Starting
Simply press the START switch and the generator will start.
. A green light will glow indicating the generator is running.
Stopping
To stop-depress the STOP side of the start switch, the green
light will go out and the generator is stopped.
Failure to Start
The start cycle will automatically terminate
if
the unit fails to
start after 12-14 seconds of cranking. Wait 20 seconds, then
repeat the start.
If the unit again fails to start, investigate the cause.
Sometimes after servicing the fuel system or changing the
fuel filter, air can accumulate in the fuel line or the throttle
body and prevent starting.
The Schrader valves on the throttle body and the fuel cell are
used to remove trapped air. This air is mixed with fuel and
under high pressure. Follow the BLEEDING THE FUEL
SYSTEM instructions in this manual. ·

REMOTE START/STOP PANEL
The components on the panel are:
1. A three position start/stop rocker switch.
2. A green LED run indicator light on the rocker switch.
3. A four position LED fault shut down display board.
The start/stop rocker switch functions the same as the
start/stop rocker switch on the generator's control panel as
previously explained.
The start/stop rocker switch indicator light on the. rocker
switch will illuminate when the start circuit is energized. It
will go dim as the engine cranks and will brighten as the
engine starts to indicate the generator is running.
The LED fault shut down display board has four separate LED
lights to display to the operator the cause of the generators
automatic shut down. The four LED displays are: low oil
pressure, high engine operating temperature, high exhaust
temperature and engine over-speed/under-speed (flashes).
Should the generator shut down from one of these faults, the
fault LED will remain illuminated. To reset the LED, the stop
switch must be momentarily depressed.
This remote panel is a plug-in accessory and is available with a
15'
to
100'
wiring harness.
CAUTION: Repeated crank cycles without a start can result
in the engine's exhaust system filling with raw water. This
raw water can enter the engine's cylinders by way of the
exhaust manifold once the system fills. If after three
crank
cycles the unit does not start. Drain the system's muffler
and investigate and correct the cause of no start. Engine
damage the result of raw water entry is not a warrantable
issue. The operator should keep this in mind.
