Run Mode
When the engine starts, release the Start/Stop
switch and it will return to the center Run position.
The following control assembly functions occur:
Voltage from the battery is replaced by output
voltage from the generator (when the engine
comes up to speed) so the control remains en-
ergized on Spec A and begin Spec B 50 Hz
only.
Start solenoid (K1) is de-energized, opening
the circuit to the starter motor (M1) to stop
cranking. (The start disconnect is activated at
approximately 2500 rpm.)
Fuel Pump (E2) remains energized during the
run condition. Fuel shutoff solenoid (E3) re-
mains energized on begin Spec B models.
LPG model: Priming solenoid (K2) is de-ener-
gized.
Field flash is no longer required and is turned
off.
Ignition Enable remains on. Output from the
magneto assembly (G2) energizes the ignition
coil (T1) to provide spark.
Remote run output energizes the running time
meter and the battery condition meter in the op-
tional deluxe remote control (A2).
A low oil level will cause the low oil level switch (S2)
to close. This closes a ground path to the magneto
assembly (G2) eliminating ignition spark and pre-
venting the engine from operating. If the oil level
goes below the low oil level during operation, the
genset will shut down.
Charging Circuit
A 12-volt DC output (one-ampere maximum on
Spec A or ten-ampere maximum Spec B 50 Hz)
from the generator is used to prevent discharge of
the genset starting battery during genset operation.
Spec B 60-Hz models do not have a battery charge
winding.
Stopping
Pressing the Start/Stop switch (S1) to the Stop posi-
tion de-energizes the ignition enable circuit and
grounds the magneto assembly (G2) output. This
causes the engine to stop running. The Stop posi-
tion also activates the remote stop latch feature pre-
venting restart. At the same time the fuel pump is
de-energized.
LPG models: the fuel shutoff solenoid (E2) is de-en-
ergized stopping fuel flow to the carburetor.
