Stopping Procedure - Westerbeke 7.0KW BCG-60HERTZ Operator's Manual

STOPPING PROCEDURE
1. Remove the AC electrical load from the generator and allow the generator to run for 3 to 5 minutes to
stabilize its operating temperatures.
2. Depress the STOP switch and hold
it
until the generator is completely stopped.
3. Now release the STOP switch.
Remote Stopping Procedure
To STOP the generator, depress the STOP switch which opens the normally closed B
+
path for voltage to
the engine's ignition circuit. The STOP switch lllIm1. be held open until the generator comes to a complete
stop. Remote
start
panels may be connected to the generator set as indicated. A jumper has to be removed
between the T·1 and T-2 connections at the panel connection terminal board. (Refer to the wiring diagram
in the IIELECTRICAL SYSTEMn section of this manual.)
Overspeed Shutdown
Should the generator shut down from an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit must be reset before
attempting to restart the
gene~tor.
Resetting the overs peed switch is done by simply depressing the STOP
switch momentarily and then proceeding with the normal starting procedure.
If the overspeed switch itself is faulty and resetting it by depressing the STOP switch
will
not reset the circuit,
lift the T -1 coil connection from the switch and tape the end of the T
-1
wire with electrical tape. Do not operate
the generator with the overspeed switch bypassed. Bypass this circuit only to test the overspeed circuit.
Replace the overspeed switch to maintain this safety circuit's integrity.
IWARNINGI
The overspeed shutdown must always be installed and functioning. Any tampering with
the overspeed shutdown module, which would cause it to malfunction, could be a cause of
injury should the generator's belt-driven governor fail and cause the generator drive engine to
overspeecl.
