AUTO EXERCISE TIMER
Generators installed in a standby application should be exercised regularly to maintain operating condition and to
ensure responsiveness in an emergency situation. The following procedure demonstrates how to run (exercise) the
generator on a time schedule:
1. Press the "PAGE SELECT" button until "Password" appears at the top of the screen.
2. Press the down arrow “
” button until "Date/Time" is selected and press "ENTER".
3. Press the down arrow “
” button until "Timer1 Repeat" is selected and press "ENTER."
4. Choose the day or days the unit should run and press "ENTER“.
5. Press the down arrow “
” button until "Timer1 ON Time" is selected and press "ENTER."
6. Adjust the desired time to start running and press "ENTER."
7. Press the down arrow “
” button until "Timer1Duration" is selected and press "ENTER."
8. Adjust the time period to the length of time the unit should run after starting and press "ENTER".
9. Press "PAGE SELECT" three times to return to the main menu.
10. Press the "AUTO" button to switch modes to automatic.
Note:
The controller must be in “AUTO” mode to run at the programmed time. Use a trickle battery charger or
solargizer to prevent the controller from draining the battery while in “AUTO” mode.
DAILY WALK AROUND INSPECTION
Failure to perform a daily inspection may result in serious damage to the prime mover.
Look for conditions that could hinder performance or safety, such as (but not limited to) oil/coolant/fuel leakage,
blocked vents, loose/missing hardware, and electrical connections.
Visually inspect the fan belt for cracks, fraying, stretching, and verify the belt is properly seated in the pulley grooves.
Replace the belt according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Note:
At the 500 hour/12 month service interval, it is recommended the belt be removed and checked for wear. While
the belt is removed, inspect pulleys and bearings. Rotate and feel for hard turning or unusual sounds. If pulleys or
bearings need replacement contact the engine manufacturer.
ENGINE AND GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Check the engine oil level daily before starting the engine.
DO NOT
start the generator if the oil level is below the
“ADD” mark on the dipstick. The normal operating level for the engine oil is anywhere in the crosshatch pattern
between the “FULL” and “ADD” markings. Add oil to the engine only if the level is below the “ADD” mark on the
bottom of the crosshatch pattern.
DO NOT OVERFILL
the crankcase. Consult the engine operator’s manual for the
proper grade of oil, including special operating conditions such as a change in season or climate.
Check the coolant level daily. The coolant is checked by visually inspecting the level in the coolant overflow jug,
located near the radiator. The normal operating level is anywhere between the “FULL” and ‘ADD’ markings on the
overflow jug, with the optimum level noted as “NORMAL RANGE”. Coolant may be added directly to the overflow
jug
WHEN THE ENGINE IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY COOL
. Consult the engine operator’s manual for coolant
recommendations and proper mixture.
Check the condition of the air filter by viewing the level of vacuum draw on the filter minder gauge. Replace the air
filter when the yellow center bar reaches the red section on the gauge (20 in. H
2
0).
Poorly maintained equipment can become a safety hazard! In order for the equipment to operate safely and properly
over a long period of time, periodic maintenance and occasional repairs are necessary.
NEVER
perform even routine
service (oil/filter changes, cleaning, etc.) unless all electrical components are shut off. When servicing this equipment
always follow the instructions listed below.
•
Make sure the engine start switch is turned to the “OFF/O” position.
