Important:Please contact the Dealer for service assistance.This is a very important step to ensure longest life for the engine. To check valve clearance: • The engine should be cool before checking.If valve clearance is 0.002"-0.004"(0.05-0.1mm),adjustment is not needed. • Remove spark plug wires and position wires away from plugs. • Remove spark plugs. • Make sure the piston is at Top Dead Center(TDC)of its compression stroke(both valves closed).To get the piston at TDC,remove the intake screen at the front of the engine to gain access to the flywheel nut.Use a large socket and socket wrench to rotate the nut and hence the engine in a clockwise direction.While watching the piston through the spark plug hole.The piston should move up and down.The piston is at TDC when it is at its highest point of travel. To adjust valve clearance(see Figure 4-4): • Make sure the engine is at 60°to 80°F(16°to 27*C). • Make sure that the spark plug wire is removed from the spark plug and out of the way. • Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover. • Loosen the rocker jam nut.Using a 10mm Allen wrench(530cc engine)or a 13mm Allen wrench(410cc,990cc and 999cc engines),tum the pivot ball stud while checking clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem with a feeler gauge.Correct clearance is 0.002-0.004 inch(0.05-0.1 mm). NOTE:Hold the rocker arm jam nut in place as the pivot ball stud is turned. • When valve clearance is correct,hold the.pivot ball stud in.place with the Allen wrench and tighten the rocker arm jam nut.Tighten the jam nut to 174 in-lbs.(19.68 N-m)torque.After tightening the jam nut,recheck valve clearance to make sure it did not change. • Install new valve cover gasket. • Re-attach the valve cover. NOTE: Start all four screws before tightening or it will not be possible to get all the screws in place.Make sure the valve cover gasket is in place. • Install spark plugs. • Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug. • Repeat the process for the other cylinder,if necessary. 1 Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual 23 i' Rocker Pivot Ball Arm Stud Jam Nut Valve Stem � -- -- -- - - -- - - - Figure 4-4: Valve Clearance Adjustment 7 — Batter-y-Mai tenan-ce The battery should be regularly inspected per the Service Schedule: 1.

Make sure the transfer switch main contacts are set to their UTILITY position (loads connected to the utility power source). 2. Be sure that normal UTILITY power source voltage is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 and N2. 3. Press the AUTO button on the Control Panel Interface. 4. Set the Main Circuit Breaker(Generator Disconnect)to its ON (Closed)position. With these steps complete,the generator will start automatically when utility source voltage drops below a preset level.After the unit starts,loads are transferred to the standby power source. 3.4.1—Automatic Sequence of Operation 3.4.1.1 —Utility Failure With the generator set to AUTO,when the utility fails(below 65%of nominal)a 10 second(optionally programmable)line interrupt delay time is - started.If the utility is still gone when the timer expires,the engine will crank and start.Once started,a 5 second engine warm-up timer will be ini- tiated.When the warm-up time expires,the controller will transfer the load to the generator.If the utility power is restored(above 75%nominal)at any time from the initiation of the engine start until the generator is ready to accept load(5 second warm-up time has not elapsed),the controller will complete the start cycle and run the generator through its normal cool down cycle,however,the load will remain on the utility source. 3.4.1.2—Cranking The system will control the cyclic cranking as follows: • 8kW unit-5 cranking cycles as follows: 15 second crank,seven(7)second rest,followed by four(4)additional cycles of seven(7)second cranks followed by seven(7)second rests. • 11-20kW units-5 cranking cycles as follows: 16 second crank,seven(7)second rest, 16 second crank,seven(7)second rest,followed by three(3)additional cycles of seven(7)second cranks followed by seven(7)second rests. 3.4.1.3 — Load Transfer The transfer of load when the generator is running is dependent upon the operating mode: MANUAL • Will not transfer to generator if utility is present. • Will transfer to generator if utility fails(below 65%of nominal for 10 consecutive seconds). r • Will transfer back when utility returns for 15 consecutive seconds.The engine will continue to run until removed from the MANUAL mode. AUTO • Will start and run if utility fails for 10 consecutive seconds(factory default). rr� • Will start a 5 second engine warm-up timer. r -Will not transfer if utility subsequently returns. -Will transfer to generator if utility is not present. • Will transfer back to utility once utility returns(above 75%of nominal)for 15 seconds. • Will not transfer back to utility unless utility returns.The generator will shut down if the OFF buiton is pressed or a shutdown alarm is present. • Once utility power is returned,the generator will shut down after 1 minute cool-down time. ' EXERCISE • Will not exercise if generator is already running in either AUTO or MANUAL mode. • During exercise,the controller will only transfer if utility fails during exercise for 10 seconds,and will switch to AUTO. 14 Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual ;F r" GENE-RAC. ® - r Part No. OJ9943 Rev.
