Installation manual
SAFETY
SHUTDOWN
SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
The engine/generator
is
protected by switches and sensors
that send signals to the
ECU that
it
interprets as a fault and
automatically shuts down the generator drive engine. When
an automatic shutdown occurs, one
of
the control panel fault
LED lights will illuminate indicating what fault caused the
engine to shutdown. This LED will stay illuminated.
To
correct the fault, refer to ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING in
this manual. Do
not
attempt
to
restart
the
generator
before correcting
the
fault.

INDICATOR
LIGHTS
Four LED fault lights are located on the generator control
panel and the remote start/stop panels. Should a problem
occur during generator operation the individual light will
indicate where the problem is and at the same time shut the
generator down. The light will continue to glow after the
generator shuts down. Should this occur, refer to
f;NGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING
in this manual.
OIL
PRESSURE
SENSOR
An oil pressure sensor (located just below the oil filter) sends
a DC voltage to the
ECU that
it
interprets as oil pressure.
Should this voltage fall below a certain level, the ECU will
shut the generator down and illuminate the low oil pressure
LED. Should this occur, refer to ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING in this manual.
EXHAUST
TEMPERATURE
SWITCH
A temperature switch is mounted on the exhaust elbow to
monitor the temperature
of
the exhaust coolant and gasses.
Should the switch sense an excessive exhaust temperature, the
ECU will shut the generator down and the exhaust
temperature LED will illuminate on the control panel. Should
this occur, refer to ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING in this
manual.
THERMOSTAT
ASSEMBLY
COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
Acoolant temperature sensor
is
located on the thermostat
housing to monitor the engines fresh water coolant. Should
the coolant temperature reach
210°F, the ECU will shut the
generator down and the engine temperature LED will
illuminate. Should this occur, refer to ENGINE
TROUBLESHOOTING in this manual.
OVERSPEED
SWITCH
An overspeed high RPM shutdown sensor in the ECU will
shut the engine down
if
the engine RPM''S exceed the set
limit and the LED will remain lit.
If
an underspeed problem
occurs, the engine will shutdown and the LED will remain
flashing.
DC
CIRCUIT
BREAKER
The generators engine
is
protected by a panel mounted man-
ual reset circuit breaker (20 amp). An electrical overload in
the engine's wiring harness
or
the instrument panel will trip
this breaker and shutdown the engine/generator.
If
this should
occur, inspect and repair the problem. then reset the breaker
and sestart the engine/generator.
