Controls on the remote control panel (status) (1) "DIAGNOSTIC RESET" switch (2) Engine control switch (3) "EMERGENCY STOP" button | |
"DIAGNOSTIC RESET" switch (1) is a toggle switch that is used to clear diagnostic codes from the EIS control module. The switch cannot clear individual codes. Use of the switch will clear all codes that are active in the engine control module. Do not clear the codes until the problems that caused the codes are addressed.
Engine control switch (2) is used to control starting the engine and stopping the engine.

Emergency shutoff controls are for EMERGENCY use ONLY. DO NOT use emergency shutoff devices or controls for normal stopping procedure. |
"EMERGENCY STOP" button (3) is used to stop the engine in an emergency situation. When the button is pressed, the status control module shuts off the fuel via the gas shutoff valve. The module also terminates the ignition. The "EMERGENCY STOP" button must be reset before the engine will start.

Do not start the engine until the problem necessitating the emergency stop has been located and corrected. |
The engine control switch is a rotary switch that has four positions:
- Stop
- Automatic
- Manual start
- Cooldown/Stop
Note: Only the fault indicators on the status control module are reset when the engine control switch is turned to the Stop position. Diagnostic codes must be cleared with the "DIAGNOSTIC RESET" switch.
Stop - When the engine control switch is turned to this position (12 o'clock), the fault indicators on the status control module are reset and the engine shuts down immediately. The power to the engine control module and the status control module is shut off. This method is not recommended for normal stopping.
Automatic - When the engine control switch is in this position (3 o'clock), the system is configured for remote operation. When the remote start/stop initiate contact closes, the engine will start. When the remote start/stop initiate contact opens, the engine will shut down. If the cooling cycle is programmed, the engine will operate for the cooldown period before the engine stops.
Manual start - When the engine control switch is turned to this position (6 o'clock), the engine will start. The engine will continue to operate when the switch is in this position.
Cooldown/Stop - This is the preferred method for normal stopping. When the engine control switch is turned to this position (9 o'clock), the engine will continue to operate until a programmable cooling cycle has elapsed. The cooling cycle can be programmed for a 0 to 30 minute period. The default setting is five minutes.
