When the ECS is in the AUTO position and the remote starting contacts are closed, the GSC allows the engine to start. The engine also shuts down after the initiate contacts open. The cooldown period is programmable in order to give a 0 to 30 minute cooldown period before the engine shuts down. The cooldown period is factory set at five minutes. In the MANUAL START position, the engine starts and runs as long as the ECS is in this position. When the ECS is in the COOLDOWN/STOP position and the cooldown is completed, the engine is turned off. In the OFF/RESET position, the engine shuts down immediately and any fault indicators are reset, except emergency stop.When the emergency stop push button (ESPB) (4) is pressed, the fuel is shut off. Restart the engine by turning the ESPB (4) clockwise, until the switch releases. Turn the ECS to the OFF/RESET position. Then turn the ECS to the MANUAL START position.The voltage adjust rheostat (VAR) (3) is used to adjust the generator voltage to the desired level.The speed adjust potentiometer (SP) (1) controls the engine speed. The optional panel light switch (PLS) (5) turns the panel lamps ON and OFF.
