Shutdown

Open generator
  1. Disengage the loads at each load's individual control switch to ensure that no load is left on the generator.

  2. Turn off all circuit breakers on the generator.
  3. Press Open Generator Main Contactor.
  4. Press Stop.
    • A cool-down sequence will run before the engine stops.
    • The engine will continue to run at 1800 RPM for approximately 5 seconds.
    • After 5 seconds, the engine will drop down to 900 RPM and cool down for approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Press Stop again to ignore the cool-down sequence and stop the engine immediately.
  6. After the engine has stopped completely, ensure that front door is closed.
  7. Turn the Controller Power switch to the OFF position.

    NOTE  The controller may take up to 20 seconds to turn off to allow the door to fully close.

IMPORTANT  The Control Disconnect Switch must be left on for at least 2 minutes after the engine shuts down. This additional time allows the engine control module (ECM) to properly save information and avoid data corruption. It also allows the DEF purge cycle to remove any fluid that remains in the lines. The ECM will log a fault code if the generator is powered down before 2 minutes.
