KNOW YOUR CONTROL PANEL
Compare this Control Panel illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these important controls:
Circuit Breaker
Set Exercise Switch
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
Switch
15 Amp Fuse
15 Amp Fuse — Protects the Home Standby Generator DC
control circuits. If the fuse has melted open or was removed,
the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only
an identical BUSS AGC 15A fuse.
AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch — This three-position switch is
used as follows:
• “AUTO” position is the normal operating mode. If a utility
power outage is sensed, the generator will start
automatically. When utility power is restored, the generator
will shut down, and is ready for the next utility power
outage.
• “OFF” position turns off generator, prevents generator
from starting and resets any faults.
• “MANUAL” position starts the generator. It is used for
maintenance or diagnostic functions.
Circuit Breaker — Protects the system from over-current
conditions and must be in the “On” position to supply power
to the Transfer Switch.
Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the exercise cycle start
time and day-of-the-week. Exercise cycle only occurs in
AUTO mode.
