GENERATOR SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES
To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:
1. Place both the circuit breakers
as shown in Figure 54 to the OFF position..

Circuit Breakers Off
2. Place the engine speed switch (Figure 55) in the “”
(down) position..

3. Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5
minutes with no load applied.
4. Place the (Figure 56) to the
position.

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 56) in the
position.
12. The tachometer gauge (Figure 51) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.

13. Place the circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 52).

14. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 53) 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.
stop the engine suddenly except in an
emergency.
