1A OPERATION

1.35 Automatic/Remote Start-up

In the "REMOTE START" position the generator can be
started remotely, either through a transfer switch or some
other type of remote start switch. "REMOTE START" is
the normal setting when using the generator as a standby
power supply. Before placing the generator in the auto-
matic start-up mode, review the pre-start and manual
Start-up sections in this manual and follow procedure
below.
WARNING
Before placing the Engine Start Switch in the
"REMOTE START" position, verify that the con-
tacts on any remote switch linked to the generator
set are OPEN. If the contacts on a remote switch are
closed, the generator will crank and start when the
Engine Start Switch is moved to the "REMOTE
START" position.

1. Perform a manual start at least once to verify that the
metering panel is operating correctly. Refer to Section
1.26 Before Starting and 1.27 Manual Start-up sec-
tions in this manual.
2. If a check of auto start-up circuit is desired, attach a
short jumper wire (minimum 16 gauge insulated)
equipped with alligator clips between the two termi-
nals on the remote run terminal block. This applies a
ground to the Engine Control Module to complete the
start circuit. The engine should crank, start and run.
Move the Engine Start Switch to off "O" to stop engine.
Remove jumper from remote run terminals after test-
ing is complete.
3. Secure generator by closing and locking all doors.
4. Set Engine Start Switch to "REMOTE START" and
close main line circuit breaker.
The generator is now ready for automatic start-up.
If the generator is to be used as a stand-by power supply
for more than a month, provisions must be made to
maintain battery charge. This can be done either by
attaching a battery charger to the battery or by starting
generator manually and running engine periodically to
maintain charge. See Section 1.27 Manual Start-up.
