WESTERBEKE GASOLINE GENERATOR

CONTROL PANELSGENERATOR PANELThe ON and START/OFF switches are the only functionalcomponents to operate the generator at the engine. Bothswitches are used to start the generator - see Starting theGenerator under OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.The ON switch is a two-position switch with momentarycontacts in the up (on) position and a stationary contactfunction in the center position. This switch energizes thefuel pump.The START/OFF switch is a three-position switch withmomentary contact functions in the up (start) and down(off) positions, and a stationary contact function in thecenter position. When in the center (normal) position, thisswitch allows the generator to be run, once started. Whenin the up (start) position (together with the ON switch inthe up position), this switch starts the generator, and oncereleased, reverts to the center position. When in, the down(off) position, this switch stops the engine in nonnal operationas well as in an emergency situation.When maintenance is being performed on the generator,the 8 amp fuse should be removed. This will disable theremote control panel(s), preventing attempts to start thegenerator from their locations. However, it is always bestto disconnect the battery during this time jf it is notrequired to perfonn the maintenance.REMOTE PANELThere are three functional components on the remote panelfor generator operation:LON switch2. START/STOP switch3. Green LED indicator lightThe ON switch is a two-position switch with momentarycontact functions in the up (Oil) position and a stationary contactfunction in the center position. This switch energizes thefuel pump.The START/STOP switch is a three-position switch withmomentary contact functions in the up (start) and down(stop) positions, and a stationary contact function in the centerposition. The center position is a dual offJrun mode positionand is normally in the off mode. When in the start (up)position, this switch starts the generator (together with theON switchin the up position) and once released, reverts tothe center position, run mode. When in the stop (down) position,this switch stops the generator, and once released,reverts to the center position, off mode.The Green LED indicator light indicates the engine runningcondition. It lights when the ON switch is moved to the startposition, dims when the engine is cranking, and brightenswhen the engine starts, notifying the operator to release theSTART switch.,8 AMP FUSE: THE 8 AMPFUSE ENERGIZES THE.
