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.

The following information applies to C70 N6, C80 N6, and C100 N6 models only:

Adaptive learn is an engine ECM function that allows the generator set to "learn" its

environment. There are small differences in the performance of each engine and

fuel system component, so the ECM uses inputs from the engine sensors to adjust

running conditions to operate more consistently for each individual generator set.

After installation is complete and while testing the overall system function, the

generator set must be run with no active faults under load (that is, transfer switch

connected to maximum customer load available) until the engine temperature

reaches 175 °F (80 °C) to allow the adaptive learn function to initialize.

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.
