AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch
This three-position switch is the most important control
on the system and is used as follows:
• "AUTO" position is the normal operating position. If a
utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the
generator.When utility power is restored, lets the engine
stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the generator,
and waits for the next utility power outage.
• "OFF" position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
• "MANUAL" position starts the engine after a short
amount of time. It is used for maintenance or diagnostic
functions.
15 Amp Fuse
Protects the Home Standby Generator DC control circuits.
If the fuse has 'blown' (melted open) or was removed, the
engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using ONLY
an identical BUS AGC 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied
with the unit.
