Section 4 Operation
4.1 — Control Panel
NOTE: The control panel is intended for use by qualified service personnel only.
The control panel is located behind the viewing window at the rear of the unit.
With the control panel set to AUTO, the engine may crank and start at any time without warning. Such
automatic starting occurs during the programmed exercise cycle or when utility power source voltage
drops below the configured level. To prevent possible injury that might occur during sudden starts,
always set the control panel to OFF, remove the negative battery cable from the negative battery post,
and remove the 7.5 amp fuse before working on or around the generator or transfer switch. For added
security, place a DO NOT OPERATE tag or placard on both the control panel and transfer switch.
