7.1 CONTROL PANEL INTERFACE

7.1.1 USING THE AUTO / MANUAL / OFF BUTTONS (FIGURE 7.1)



With the AUTO button pushed in, the engine may crank and start at any time without warning. Such automatic starting occurs

when utility power source voltage droops below a preset level or during the normal exercise cycle. To prevent possible injury that

might be caused by such sudden starts, always push the OFF button, remove the fuses, and disconnect the battery before working

on or around the generator or transfer switch. Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the generator panel and on the transfer

switch.

1. “OFF” Button – This button shuts down the engine and prevents automatic operation.

2. “MANUAL” Button – This button cranks and starts the engine. Transfer to standby power will not occur unless there is a utility failure.

3. “AUTO” Button – Selecting this button activates fully automatic system operation. It also allows the unit to automatically start and exercise the

engine every seven days with the setting of the exercise timer (see the Setting the Exercise Timer section).
