GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES
2. Place the engine speed switch (Figure 54) in the “”
(down) position..
Figure 54. Engine Speed Switch (Low)
3. Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5
minutes with no load applied.
4. Place the (Figure 55) to the
position.
Figure 55. MPEC Control Switch (Off/Reset)
5. Verify that all status LEDs on the MPEC display are
OFF (not lit).
6. Remove all loads from the generator.
7. Inspect entire generator for any damage or loosening of
components that may have occurred during operation.
1. Place the (Figure 55) in the
position.
This unit is equipped with safety devices to automatically
stop the engine in the event of low oil pressure, approximately
14 psi (97 kPa), or high water temperature, approximately
230° F (110° C), overspeed approximately +15%. The alarm
lamps on the ECU illuminate to signify the reason for the
shutdown.
NOTICE
Before inspecting generator, check that the Auto/
Manual switch is in the position, and place
all circuit breakers in the OFF position. Allow sufficient
time for adequate cooling. When ready to restart,
complete all steps in the Generator Startup Procedure
section of this manual.
13. Place the circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 51).

Circuit Breakers (ON)
14. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 52) and
verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with
respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a
current reading if a load is in use.

15. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:
