CONTROL PANELS
GENERATOR PANEL
The ON and START/OFF switches are the only functional
components to operate the generator at the engine. Both
switches are used to start the generator - see Starting the
Generator under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
The ON switch is a two-position switch with momentary
contacts in the up
(on)
position and a stationary contact
function in the center position. This switch energizes the
fuel pump.
The START/OFF switch is a three-position switch with
momentary contact functions in the up (start) and down
(off) positions, and a stationary contact function in the
center position. When in the center (normal) position, this
switch allows the generator to be run, once started. When
in the up (start) position (together with the ON switch in
the up position), this switch starts the generator, and once
released, reverts to the center position. When in, the down
(off) position, this switch stops the engine in nonnal oper-
ation as well as in an emergency situation.
When maintenance is being performed on the generator,
the 8 amp fuse should be removed. This will disable the
remote control panel(s), preventing attempts to start the
generator from their locations. However, it is always best
to disconnect the battery during this time jf it is not
required to perfonn the maintenance.

REMOTE PANEL
There are three functional components on the remote panel
for generator operation:
LON switch
2. START/STOP switch
3. Green LED indicator light
The ON switch is a two-position switch with momentary
contact functions in the up
(Oil)
position and a stationary con-
tact function in the center position. This switch energizes the
fuel pump.
The START/STOP switch is a three-position switch with
momentary contact functions in the up (start) and down
(stop) positions, and a stationary contact function in the cen-
ter position. The center position is a dual
offJrun
mode posi-
tion and is normally in the off mode. When in the start (up)
position, this switch starts the generator (together with the
ON switchin the up position) and once released, reverts to
the center position, run mode. When in the stop (down) posi-
tion, this switch stops the generator, and once released,
reverts to the center position, off mode.
The Green LED indicator light indicates the engine running
condition. It lights when the ON switch is moved to the start
position, dims when the engine is cranking, and brightens
when the engine starts, notifying the operator to release the
START switch.

OVERSPEED CIRCUIT BOARD
ON
TOGGLE
SWITCH
The overspeed circuit board senses the engine speed through
pulses off the engine coil. If the engine speed exceeds 3800
rpm, this overspeed circuit
will
activate, and will interrupt DC
power to the K2 relay shutting the engine down. It has an
automatic reset.
