Perform a manual start to verify that the LCD panel is operating correctly. Referto topics Before Starting and Starting and Running the Machine.a. Check the fuel level and add fuel as needed.b. Check the battery voltage. Charge the battery if needed.2. Check the operation of the remotestart circuit:a. Attach a short jumper wire (a)(minimum 16-gauge insulated)between the two terminals on theremote run terminal block. Thejumper wire completes the circuitwhich initializes the gensetcontroller start sequence.b. Set the engine start switch to theREMOTE START position.c. Wait for the engine to crank, start,and run.d. Move the engine start switch to OFF to stop the engine.e. Remove the jumper wire from the remote run terminals.3. Set the voltage selector switch to the correct voltage position.4. Set the engine start switch to the REMOTE START position.5. Set the main line circuit breaker to ON.6. Secure the generator by closing and locking all doors.The generator is now ready for remote starting.Maintainingbattery chargeIf the generator is to be used as a stand-by power supply, provisions must be madeto maintain the charge of the battery. This can be done either by attaching a batterycharger to the battery or by starting and running the engine periodically.CAUTIONPossibility of unexpected machine startup. If the contacts on a remote switchconnected to the generator are closed, the machine could start unexpectedly whenthe engine start switch is set to the REMOTE START position.► Be prepared for engine startup anytime the engine start switch is in theREMOTE START position.► Before placing the engine start switch in the REMOTE START position, verifythat the contacts on any remote/transfer switch connected to the generator areOFF (OPEN).20A20A50A50A0 0 5 6 3 2AUSAUSAPAGADOAPAGADOARRETARRETOFFOFFREMOTE STARTREMOTE STARTFERNSTARTFERNSTARTARRANQUE REMOTOARRANQUE REMOTODEMARRAGE ADEMARRAGE ADISTANCEDISTANCESTART / LAUFENSTART / LAUFENARRANQUE / MARCHAARRANQUE / MARCHADEMARRER / MARCHEDEMARRER / MARCHESTART / RUNSTART / RUNawc_gr010206
