system switch
This two-position switch is the most important control on the
home generator and is used as follows:
• “
auto
” position is the normal operating position. If a
utility power outage is sensed, the system will start
the generator. When utility power is restored, lets the
engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the
generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.
• “
off
” position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
15 amp fuse
Protects the home generator DC control circuits. If the fuse
has ‘blown’ (melted open) or was removed, the engine cannot
crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an identical
ATO 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied with the unit. If fuse
was blown or removed, you will need to reset the exercise
timer (see
Setting Exercise Timer)
