Setting Exercise Timer
It is recommended to have the generator go through an
excercise cycle once every seven days. During this exercise
period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then
shuts down.
Refer to the Control Panel Application Guide supplied with this
generator for more detailed information on the exercise timer.
OR, refer to the Automatic Transfer Switch Application Guide

Maintenance
The generator warranty does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or neglect. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must maintain the system as
instructed in the Maintenance section.
Servicing the System
Before performing any generator maintenance, always
perform the following steps:
1. Set generator’s circuit breaker to its OFF position.
2. Turn the generator off.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control board.
4. Utility voltage is present at generator control board.
Disconnect power before servicing control board by
removing the fuses from the transfer switch.
5. After all servicing has been completed, replace fuses in
transfer switch, replace 15 Amp fuse in control board,
set circuit breaker ON and turn the generator on.
Shutdown Alarm Detection System
The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator in
the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low oil
pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other conditions.
