5.6 Startup

WARNING

Automatic startup of the generator set during installation can cause severe

personal injury or death. Push the control switch OFF and disconnect the

negative (–) cable from the battery to keep the generator set from starting.

After verifying that the installation was completed correctly, start and test the

system. Make sure to connect the battery cables to the battery with the positive (+)

cable first.

Read through the Operator Manual and perform the maintenance and pre-start

checks as instructed. The generator set is shipped from the factory with the proper

level of engine oil and coolant, but should be checked before it is started. Start and

operate the generator set following all the instructions and precautions in the

Operator Manual. Ensure that the bonding bolts are installed into the service panels

before leaving the site.

NOTICE

Before leaving the site, if the generator set is ready to be placed in service,

set the control switch to the AUTO position to provide automatic standby

power.

NOTICE

Contact your local Cummins service representative if you encounter a fault

code.
