PANEL
Remote start panels include a green
LED
which lights when the engine runs at approximately 600 rpm. The
purpose
of
the
LED
is
to
alert the operator
to
release the starter toggle switch in addition to continue indicat-
ing that the generator set
is
running.
An
optional remote instrument panel
is
available, which includes starting controls. This panel also includes
a water temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, battery voltmeter, operating hourmeter and start-stop con-
trol
switches.

Description
The two-pole ON switch
is
operated
to
bypess the protective shutdown switches during starting. The second
pole provides a source of 8 + to the
START
toggle switch. While continuing
to
hold the ON switch,
to
provide
8
+
to
the start switch and to bypess the protective shutdown switches, the
START
switch
is
pressed
to
ener-
gize the starter
to
crank the engine. If you are starting the generator at the generator
set,
release the
START
switch when the generator
is
running. If starting the generator at a remote location, release the
START
switch
when the green
LED
lights, but continue depressing the ON switch. After releasing the
START
switch, con-
tinue holding the ON switch until the oil pressure is sufficient
to
close the oil pressure safety switch, provid-
ing the normal B + path
to
the ignition system. Note that it is now impossible
to
energize the starter while
the generator
is
running until someone again operates the ON switch first. Should the generator shut down
from an overspeed condition, the overspeed circuit must be reset before attempting
to
restart the generator.
Resetting the overspeed switch
is
done
by
simply depressing the STOP switch momentarily and then
proceeding with the normal starting procedure. See page

speed switch_
IWARNINGI
It is very important that the overspeed shutdown always be installed and functioning. Any
tampering with the overspeed shutdown
module, which would cause it
to
malfunction, could
be a cause
of
injury should the generator's belt-driven governor fail and cause the generator
10 run away.
