CONTROL PANEL • START/STOP PANEL
DESCRIPTION
To Start:
Press the rocker switch to the start position and
release. (The switch will revert to its center position). The
engine will crank and start electronically. A
green LED
on the switch will indicate the engine is running.
NOTE: There is a brief delay while the ECU self-tests before
the start button responds.
Apply a light load to the generator and allow the engine
to wann up to operating temperature before applying heavy
loads.
To Stop:
Press the rocker switch to stop and release. The
ECU will receive the signal to shut the engine down. The
green LED will go off indicating the unit has shut-down.
NOTE: This green LED
may illuminate dimly when the engine
is not running. This is part of the self diagnostic circuit and is
normal.

SHUTDOWN
(Refer to SAFETY SHUTDOWN SWITCHES)
A shutdown is when the ECru (Electronic Control Unit)
stops the generator because it has detected an operating fault
which could cause damage to the engine, the generator, or
create an unsafe operating condition.
FAILURE TO START
The start cycle will automatically terminate if the engine fails
to start after 8 seconds of cranking. Three start attempts can
be performed before an underspeed fault occurs.
This
prevents prolonged cranking which can result in the
exhaust filling with water and backing into the engine.
To try repeat start attempts while solving and repairing the
problem, close the thru-hull (water intake valve). When
the starting problem is corrected do not forget to open the
thru-hull.

REMOTE PANEL
(with
Fault

A remote panel is available that allows for remote operation
of the generator. The panel comes with either a 15' or 30'
plug-in extension harness. The start/stop sequence is
identical. Once installed, the engine can be operated by
either panel.
