Stopping (User Stopping and Fault Shutdown)

Normal Stopping

Run the generator set without load for 5 minutes to ensure adequate engine cooldown.

The controller has a programmable cooldown timer that functions only when the master control button is in the AUTO mode.
To stop the generator set, press the generator set master control OFF/RESET button and wait until the generator set comes to
a complete stop.

Note:

The cooldown cycle times out before the generator set stops when a remote switch or automatic transfer switch initiates the
generator set start/stop sequence.

Emergency Stopping

Use the controller emergency stop switch or optional remote emergency stop for immediate shutdown.

The emergency stop switch bypasses the time delay engine cooldown and immediately shuts down the generator set.

Note:

Use the emergency stop switch(es) for emergency shutdowns only. Use the generator set master control OFF/RESET button
for normal shutdowns.

The controller fault lamp lights and the unit shuts down when the local or remote emergency stop switch activates.

Use the following procedure to reset the generator set after shutdown by a local or remote emergency stop switch. Refer to the
section titled: Controller Resetting procedure, to restart the generator set following a fault shutdown.

1. Investigate and correct the cause of the emergency stop.

3. Press the generator set master control OFF/RESET button.

4. After resetting all faults using the controller reset procedure in the section titled: Controller Resetting, press the

generator set master control RUN or AUTO button to restart the generator set. The generator set will not crank until the
