User manual GE HOME GENERATOR 10000 WATT

[. . . ] Thank you for purchasing this quality-built GE home generator. We're pleased that you've placed your confidence in the GE brand. When operated and maintained according to the instructions in this manual, your home generator will provide many years of dependable service. This manual contains safety information to make you aware of the hazards and risks associated with home standby generators and how to avoid them. [. . . ] With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch and home generator completed, utility power supplied to the automatic transfer switch, and the unit in AUTO mode, the battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not running. The trickle charge cannot be used to recharge a battery that is completely discharged. The 15 Amp fuse was removed at the factory to prevent the unit from starting during shipping. Your installer will ensure the fuse is properly installed upon completion of the installation. The installer must supply a valve-regulated, rechargeable 12 volt DC starting battery. CAUTION With the system switch set to AUTO, the engine may crank and start at any time without warning. To prevent possible injury that may be caused by such sudden starts, always set the system switch to OFF if performing maintenance on the system. Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or around the generator or transfer switch. Turn OFF the main distribution panel circuit breaker sending power to the automatic transfer switch. When utility voltage is lost and the sensor has timed out, the engine will crank and start. Let the system go through its entire automatic operation sequence. With generator output supplying its loads, turn ON the service disconnect or main distribution panel circuit breaker that supplies utility power to the automatic transfer switch. The automatic transfer switch will transfer loads back to utility power after a 5 minute minimum run time and utility power is available. The generator will run for one additional minute for engine cool down, then will shut down. If utility is restored and generator does not shut down after 10 minutes, set system switch to OFF and contact your installer or local service center. this completes the test procedures for automatic operation. The home generator will now start automatically and will supply power to the transfer switch when utility power is lost. The home generator is equipped with an exercise timer that will start and exercise the system once every seven days. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs during the cycle). The specific day and the specific time of day this button is pressed is programmed into the control board memory. This date and time is then used to automatically initiate the system exercise cycle.
