GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Use caution when making adjustments while the
genset is running—hot, moving or electrically live parts can cause severe personal injury or death.
Used engine oil has been identified by some
state and federal agencies as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. Do not ingest, inhale, or contact used oil or its vapors.
Do not work on the genset when mentally or
physically fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs.
Carefully follow all applicable local, state and
federal codes.
GENERATOR VOLTAGE IS DEADLY!
Generator output connections must be made by
a qualified electrician in accordance with appli­cable codes.
The genset must not be connected to the public
utility or any other source of electrical power. Connection could lead to electrocution of utility workers, damage to equipment and fire. An ap­proved switching device must be used to pre­vent interconnections.
Keep ABC fire extinguishers handy.Make sure all fasteners are secure and torqued
properly.
Keep the genset and its compartment clean. Ex-
cess oil and oily rags can catch fire. Dirt and gear stowed in the compartment can restrict cooling air.
Let the engine cool down before removing the
coolant pressure cap or opening the coolant drain. Hot coolant under pressure can spray out and cause severe burns.
Before working on the genset, disconnect the
negative (−) battery cable at the battery to pre- vent starting.
Use caution when working on live electrical
equipment. Remove jewelry, make sure clothing and shoes are dry and stand on a dry wooden platform on the ground or floor.
FUEL IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE
Keep flames, cigarettes, sparks, pilot lights,
electrical arc-producing equipment and switches and all other sources of ignition well away from areas where fuel fumes are present and areas sharing ventilation.
Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks and
separated or shielded from electrical wiring.
Use approved non-conductive flexible fuel hose
for fuel connections at the genset.

ENGINE EXHAUST IS DEADLY!
Learn the symptoms of carbon monoxide poi-
soning in this manual.
Prior to every startup and after every eight hours
of running, all carbon monoxide detectors must be tested and confirmed to be working in accor­dance with the manufacturer’s instructions or owners manual.
Never occupy in the vehicle while the genset is
running unless the vehicle has a working carbon monoxide detector.
The exhaust system must be installed in accor-
dance with the genset Installation Manual.
Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pulleys,
etc.
BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
Wear safety glasses and do not smoke while
servicing batteries.
When disconnecting or reconnecting battery
cables, always disconnect the negative (−) bat- tery cable first and reconnect it last to reduce arcing.
DO NOT OPERATE IN FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Do not use engine cooling air to heat the vehicle
interior.
Make sure there is ample fresh air when operat-
ing the genset in a confined area.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry near mov-
ing parts such as PTO shafts, fans, belts and pulleys.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine to over­speed and become difficult to stop, resulting in pos­sible fire, explosion, severe personal injury and death. Do not operate a diesel-powered genset
where a flammable vapor environment can be created by fuel spill, leak, etc., unless the genset is equipped with an automatic safety device to block the air intake and stop the engine. The own-
ers and operators of the genset are solely responsi­ble for operating the genset safely. Contact your au­thorized Cummins Onan dealer or distributor for more information.

Introduction
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual covers operation and maintenance of the model HDKAL and HDKAS generator sets (gen­sets). Study this manual carefully and observe all of its instructions and precautions. Using the genset properly and maintaining it regularly will promote lon­ger genset life, better performance, and safer opera­tion. Each operator should become thoroughly famil­iar with this manual. Keep this manual in a convenient location for quick reference.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION
When you call for service or parts have the genset model number and serial number ready (Figure 1). For ready reference, record these numbers in the boxes shown.
FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
Diesel fuel is combustible and can cause severe personal injury or death. Do not smoke near fuel tanks or fuel-burning equipment or in areas sharing ventilation with such equip­ment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot flames, electri­cal arcs and switches and all other sources of ignition well away. Keep a type ABC fire extin­guisher handy.
Use clean, fresh No. 2 diesel fuel (ASTM 2-D) when the outdoor ambient temperature is above freezing, and No. 1 diesel fuel (ASTM 1-D) when below freez­ing. The fuel should have a Cetane number of at least 45 for reliable starting.
Note: Only low sulfer diesel or Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel that meets the ASTM D975 or EN 590 stan­dard for lubricity may be used with this engine. The 1 to 2 percent less energy content of the fuel can have a slight effect on maximum engine power.
Note: B5 Bio-Diesel fuel that meets industry specifica­tions and quality is suitable for use with this engine.

BIODIESEL FUELS B5 B20
B5 biodiesel fuel that meets industry specifications and quality is suitable for use with this generator set.
BioDiesel Above B5 and up to B20 BioDiesel Blends
The following must be verified before using bio−die- sel blends up to B20:
For model HDKAL, the generator set is at Spec
G or higher.
The vehicle propulsion engine is capable of us-
ing B20 when sharing the same fuel tank.
The OEM has installed B20 compatible fuel line
from fuel tank to generator set.
The OEM has installed a water separator in the
fuel line just before the generator set.
Approved BioDiesel Fuel:
For bio−diesel blends above B5 and up to B20,
Cummins Onan requires that the fuel meet the specifications outlined in ASTM D7467.
The bio−diesel component of this fuel blend
must meet ASTM D6751 or EN14214 and the petroleumdiesel component must meet ASTM D975.
Blended bio−diesels fuels should be bought
preblended and not made by customers.
generator with biodiesel blends in low ambient temperatures, such as a fuel heater, hose in­sulation, or additional anti−gel fuel additives.
Biodiesel fuel blends are an excellent medium
for microbial growth. Microbes cause fuel sys­tem corrosion and premature filter plugging. The effectiveness of all commercially available con­ventional antimicrobial additives, when used in biodiesel, is not known. Consult your fuel and additive supplier for assistance.
WARNING
It is highly recommended that specific market applications are avoided or excercised with extra care due to some of the properties of biodie­sel fuel blends such as cold weather operation, long term storage, material incompatibilities and other ef­fects on engine operating characteristics. Such ap­plications that should use standard fuels include ap­plications that will experience seasonal usage, storage for periods exceeding 90 days, and extreme temperatures or humidity.
Storage Requirements:
If using bio−diesel for seasonal applications
(stored more than 90 days), the generator must be purged before storage by running the engine on pure diesel fuel meeting ASTM D975 for a mi­ninmum of 30 minutes.
Warranty Coverage:
BioDiesel Properties:
Biodiesel has poor oxidation stability which
can accelerate fuel oxidation. Fuel oxidation will reduce generator performance. This effect is ac-
celerated at increased ambient temperatures.
Biodiesel properties change at low ambient
temperatures (below 23
F/5C). Necessary
precautions must be taken when operating the
Cummins Onan Warranty covers failures that are a direct result of defects in material or factory work­manship. Generator damage, service issues and/or performance issues determined by Cummins Onan to be caused by bio−diesel fuel blends not meeting the specifications outlined in the applicable Installa­tion, Operator, and Service Manuals are not consid­ered to be defects in material or workmanship and may affect your generator’s warranty.

Operation
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless and colorless gas that can cause unconsciousness and death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:
Dizziness Throbbing in Temples NauseaMuscular Twitching Headache VomitingWeakness Trouble Thinking Clearly Sleepiness
GET EVERYONE OUT INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY IF ANYONE EXPERIENCES ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Never ocupy in the vehicle when the genset is running unless the vehicle has an operating car­bon monoxide detector.
Look and listen for leaks along the entire run of the exhaust system every time you start up the genset and every eight hours if the genset is being run continuously. Shut down the genset immediately if there is a leak and do not run it until the leak has been repaired.
The installation of the exhaust system must be in accordance with the genset Installation Manual.
PRE-START CHECKS
Perform General Inspection (p. 13). Check for fuel, exhaust, oil and coolant leaks every eight hours if the genset is being run continuously.
Check the Maintenance Record and perform any maintenance due (Periodic Maintenance Schedule). Also see GENSET BREAK-IN if the genset is new and RETURNING THE GENSET TO SERVICE if the vehicle has been in storage.

ent temperature.
STOPPING
Before stopping let the genset cool down by run­ning at no-load for three to five minutes. Then touch the control switch momentarily to STOP.
CAUTION
Failure to let the engine cool down before stopping can lead to engine damage. Let the genset run three to five minutes at no-load before stopping.
POWERING APPLIANCES
The genset can power AC motors, air conditioners, AC/DC converters and other appliances. How much appliance load* can be serviced depends upon the genset power rating. The genset will shut down or its circuit breakers will trip if the sum of the loads ex­ceeds genset rating.
To avoid overloading the genset and causing shut­downs, compare the sum of the loads of the ap­pliances that are likely to be used at the same time to the power rating of the genset. Use Table 1 or the rat­ings on the appliances themselves (if so marked) to obtain the individual appliance loads. It may be nec-
essary to run fewer appliances at the same time so that the sum of the loads is not greater than genset rating.
Note that air density decreases as altitude increases, decreasing engine power . Power decreases approx­imately 3 percent of rated power every 1000 feet (305 m) that elevation increases above sea level. See Table 2 for typical calculations. It may be nec-
essary to operate fewer appliances at higher alti­tudes.

CONNECTIONS TO UTILITY POWER
A vehicle that has provisions for connection to utility power must be equipped with an approved transfer switch to keep the genset and utility power from be­ing interconnected.
WARNING
Backfeed to utility power can cause electrocution and damage to equipment. Use an approved device to prevent the genset from be­ing interconnected with utility power.
RESETTING LINE CIRCUIT BREAKERS
If a circuit breaker in the main power distribution pan­el in the vehicle or on the genset (Figure 4) trips, there is either a short circuit or too much load. Note that the genset will continue to run after a circuit breaker trips.
If a circuit breaker trips, disconnect or turn off as many appliances as possible and reset the circuit breaker. (Push the circuit breaker OFF to reset it and then ON to reconnect the circuit.) If the circuit break- er trips right away, either the electrical distribution system has a short or the circuit breaker is faulty. Call a qualified electrician.
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or death. Read and follow the ap­pliance manufacturer’s instructions and warn­ings.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Change the oil and oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation. See Maintenance Procedures.
NO-LOAD OPERATION
Keep no-load operation to a minimum. During no-
load operation combustion chamber temperatures drop to the point where fuel does not burn complete­ly, causing slobbering and white smoke. Always have some load connected when the genset is run for long periods.
If the circuit breaker does not trip, reconnect a com­bination of appliances that does not overload the genset or cause the circuit breaker to trip. An ap­pliance that causes a circuit breaker to trip right away probably has a short.
Electrical appliances must be properly grounded and in good working condition.

GENSET EXERCISE
If use is infrequent, run the genset at approximately 1/2 rated power for an hour every week. Exercising the genset results in better starting, longer engine life and increased genset reliability by driving off mois­ture, re-lubricating the engine, using up fuel before it becomes stale and removing oxides from electrical contacts. One longer period during which the engine and generator warm up thoroughly is better than sev­eral shorter periods.
GENSET STORAGE
If the genset will be inactive for more than 30 days and it is impractical to have someone exercise it, pre­pare it for storage as follows:
Run the genset until it has thoroughly warmed up and
shut it down.
necting battery cables—Disconnect the neg­ative (−) cable first and reconnect it last— Wear safety glasses—Do not smoke—Switch lights ON and Off away from the battery.
Disconnect the battery cables (negative [] cables
first) and store the battery(ies) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
WARNING
Hot coolant is under pressure and can cause severe burns when loosening the pressure cap. Let the engine cool before loosening the pressure cap.
Check the coolant level and add coolant as neces-
sary . Test the coolant mixture if freezing temper­atures are possible and change if necessary. See ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM in Mainte-
nance Procedures.
Clean the genset and lightly oil parts that can rust.
WARNING
Crankcase pressure can blow out hot oil and cause severe burns. Stop the engine before checking the oil level or open­ing the fill cap.
Change the oil and oil filter while still warm and attach
a tag to the dip stick indicating the oil viscosity grade. See CHANGING OIL AND OIL FILTER in Maintenance Procedures.
WARNING
Arcing at battery terminals or in a light switch or other equipment, flames and sparks can ignite battery gas causing severe personal injury. Ventilate the battery compartment before connecting or discon-
RETURNING GENSET TO SERVICE
Check the tag on the dipstick and change the oil if the
viscosity is not suitable for present and antici­pated ambient temperatures.
Reconnect the battery(ies) (negative [] cables last)
and service as necessary in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Prime the fuel system (p. 20). Perform PRE-START CHECKS and start and run the
genset according to STARTING. Perform main-
tenance or service as required before placing
the genset in service.

Maintenance Procedures
GENERAL INSPECTION
Perform these checks and inspections every time the genset is started or every eight hours if the genset is being run continuously.
Oil Level Check
WARNING
hot oil and cause severe burns. Stop the engine before checking the oil level or opening the fill cap.
Shut down the genset to check engine oil level and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain down to the crankcase to get an accurate indication of oil level.
Keep the oil level between FULL and ADD on the dip­stick (Figure 5). See ENGINE OIL RECOMMEN­DATIONS (page 5) for the oil to use.
CAUTION
gine damage and too much oil to high oil con­sumption and foaming, which can cause engine shutdown. Keep the oil level between FULL and ADD.
Crankcase pressure can blow out
Too little oil can lead to severe en-
Replace dented, bent or severely rusted sections of the tailpipe and make sure the tailpipe extends at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) beyond the perimeter of the vehicle.
Park the vehicle so that the genset exhaust gases can disperse away from the vehicle. Barriers such as walls, snow banks, high grass, brush and other ve­hicles can cause exhaust gases to accumulate in and around the vehicle.
To avoid drawing exhaust gases into the vehicle, do not turn on power ventilators or exhaust fans when the genset is running and the vehicle is standing still.
WARNING
operate the genset if there is an exhaust leak or any danger of exhaust gases entering or being drawn into the vehicle.
WARNING
or brush. Contact with the exhaust system can cause a fire.
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Do not
Do not park the vehicle in high grass
Fuel System Inspection
Coolant Level Check
Replenish the normal loss of coolant by keeping the level in the coolant recovery tank between COLD and HOT. See COOLING SYSTEM (page 17) for the recommended mixture of antifreeze and if it is neces­sary to refill the system.
Exhaust Leaks
Look and listen for exhaust system leaks while the genset is running. Shut down the genset if a leak is found and have it repaired before operating the gen­set.
Look for openings or holes between the genset compartment and vehicle cab or living space if the genset engine sounds louder than usual. Have all such openings or holes closed off or sealed to pre­vent exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.

Check for leaks at all fuel line fittings and gaskets. Replace fuel hose that has been abraded or cut and install new hose in such a way that it will not become kinked, rub against other parts or come in contact with sharp edges, hot surfaces or wiring.
WARNING
leaks immediately. Do not run the genset if it causes fuel to leak.
Prime the fuel system if the genset ran out of fuel or a fuel filter was replaced. See FUEL SYSTEM (page
19).
Fuel leaks can lead to fire. Repair
Battery Inspection
Check for clean, tight battery connections. Loose and corroded connections make for hard starting be­cause of high electrical resistance. See BATTERIES (page 16).

Arcing at battery terminals or in a light switch or other equipment, flames and sparks can ignite battery gas causing severe per­sonal injury. Ventilate the battery compartment before connecting or disconnecting battery cables—Disconnect the negative () cable first and reconnect it last—Wear safety glasses—Do not smoke—Switch lights ON and Off away from the battery.
Mechanical Inspection
WARNING
Crankcase pressure can blow out hot oil and cause severe burns. Stop the engine before checking the oil level or opening the fill cap.
Draining Engine Oil: To drain the engine oil, run the
engine until thoroughly warm and stop it. Open either the side or bottom service access door to get at the oil drain valve and oil filter (Figure 5). Drain the oil into a suitable container and close the valve when
the oil has completely drained.
Check for unusual noises and vibrations, loose gen­set mounts and signs of mechanical damage. Check the engine gauges regularly (if provided) while the genset is running. See Operation for normal gauge readings.
Keep the genset clean. Do not clean the genset while it is running. Protect the generator, control panel, and electrical connections from cleaning solvents. Re­move the generator endbell cover and use com­pressed air to blow dust out of the generator and ra­diator core.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses when using
compressed air to prevent eye injury.
CHANGING OIL AND OIL FILTER
WARNING
termined that contact with used engine oil can cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Take care to limit skin contact and breathing of vapors. Use protective gloves and wash exposed skin.
See Table 3 for frequency of maintenance.
State and federal agencies have de-
Changing Oil Filter: To change the oil filter, place a
container under the oil filter (Figure 5) to catch oil that drips out and then spin off the oil filter. Clean the filter mounting surface (making sure to remove the old gasket), apply oil to the new filter gasket and spin the filter on until the gasket just touches the mounting pad. Then tighten an additional 3/4 turn.
Refilling Engine Oil: See ENGINE OIL REC­OMMENDATIONS (page 5) for the oil to use and Specifications for the amount. Refill with the proper amount of oil, start the engine and check for leakage around the filter gasket. Tighten the filter only enough to stop leakage. Shut off the genset, re­check the oil level and add oil as necessary. Secure the access door.
CAUTION
Too little oil can lead to severe en­gine damage and too much oil to high oil con­sumption and foaming, which can cause engine shutdown. Keep the oil level between FULL and ADD.
Disposing of Used Oil and Oil Filter: Dispose of
the used oil and oil filter according to local environ­mental regulations.

AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
See Table 3 for frequency of maintenance. The air cleaner element must be handled carefully and must never have oil applied to it. Before changing the filter element, squeeze the dust boot to release any trapped dust. Install the new filter element as follows:
1. Unclip the cover (Figure 6) and pull the filter ele­ment out gently to reduce the amount of dust dis­lodged. Gently twist or move the element side to side to disengage the seal and pull it out.
2. Clean the sealing surface and inside of the outlet tube to keep dust and dirt from entering the en­gine.
3. Examine the old filter element for dust on the clean-air side of the element. This could indicate leakage on the sealing surface. Correct as nec­essary.
4. Inspect the new element for damage. Do not
install a damaged element. Insert the new ele­ment into the housing, applying pressure at the outer rim of the element and not on its flexible center, and secure the cover.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
See Table 3 for frequency of maintenance.
Cooling System Overview
The engine is cooled by a pressurized, closed-loop liquid cooling system. Coolant is pumped through passages in the engine block and head and is cooled in a genset-mounted radiator. The radiator fan is ar­ranged to either pull or push air through the radiator.
ADJUSTING BRACK-
ET BOLT
Recommended Coolant Mixture
Use the best quality ethylene or propylene glycol an­tifreeze solution available. It should be fully formu­lated with rust inhibitors and coolant stabilizers but not with stop-leak additives. Use fresh water that is low in minerals and corrosive chemicals. Distilled water is best. Unless prohibited by shipping regula­tions, gensets are shipped with the recommended 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol, which is good for -34
F (-37C).
Adjusting V-Belt Tension
See Table 3 for frequency of maintenance. The V­belt (Figure 8) drives the coolant pump and battery charging alternator. (The radiator fan is mounted on the crankshaft pulley and therefore is not driven by the belt.)
WARNING
vere personal injury or death. Disconnect the negative (−) cable(s) at the battery(ies) to prevent the engine from starting.
Disconnect the negative () cable(s) at the bat-
tery(ies) to prevent the engine from starting and remove the top belt guard.
Loosen the alternator pivot bolt first and then the ad-
justing bracket bolt on top.
Tighten belt tension by pivoting the alternator out-
wards. Hold tension by tightening the adjusting bracket bolt. Apply 20 pounds (10 kg) as shown to the middle of the pulley span and measure belt deflection, which should be 0.4 inch (10 mm). Tighten the alternator bolts when ten­sion is correct.

FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Handling Precautions
Keep dirt, water and other contaminants from enter­ing the fuel system and damaging, corroding or clog­ging fuel injection components. The genset has a water-separator type of fuel filter.
drain the filter, remove the plug (Figure 10), collect the water and sediment (about 1/2 cup [120 ml]) in a suitable container and dispose of properly. Reinstall
the plug securely. Replacing the Filter Element: See Table 3 for fre-
quency of maintenance. Replace the filter sooner if the engine lacks power or surges.
A primary source of water in fuel, which can clog fuel passages by freezing and cause corrosion by form­ing sulfuric acid with the sulfur in the fuel, is the con­densation of humid air on the walls of the fuel tank. Keeping fuel tanks as full as possible reduces con­densation by reducing the area on which condensa­tion can take place.
Fuel Filter
Draining Water and Sediment: See Table 3 for fre­quency of maintenance. Drain more often if fuel qual­ity is poor or condensation cannot be avoided. To
FUEL SO-
LENOID
Drain the filter as explained above and spin off the
element. Clean the contact surface of the base. Lubricate the new element and its gasket, and fill the
element with clean diesel fuel. Spin the new element onto the base and hand tight-
en. Start and run the genset and check for fuel leakage.
Tighten the filter only enough to stop leakage.

Priming the Fuel System
Priming the High-Pressure Side: This procedure should only be performed by a diesel mechanic.
Priming the Low-Pressure Side: The fuel lift pump is usually able to prime the low-pressure side during cranking. If the engine does not start after two tries (15 second crankings with a two minute rest between crankings), jumper the fuel lift pump directly to the 12 VDC cranking battery and let the pump run for a few minutes to make sure the fuel lines, fuel filter and in­jection pump have been purged of all air . (The air and fuel are returned to the fuel tank. There are no bleed screws to open.)
Note: If the genset has been mounted at an elevated location on the vehicle, the vehicle manufacture prob­ably has provided an auxiliary fuel pump and solenoid shutoff valve which must also be energized during priming. Check with the vehicle manufacturer if it is not clear as to how the auxiliary pump and solenoid should be energized.
USE TWO FLARE-NUT WRENCHES TO LOOSEN THESE FIT-
TINGS TO BLEED HIGH PRESSURE INJECTOR LINES
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND KEEP FINGERS OUT OF SPRAY
WARNING
The high pressure oil spray from an injector line fitting can penetrate the skin, lead­ing to possible blood poisoning. Wear safety glasses and keep your hands away from the spray. Do not delay getting proper medical atten­tion if oil spray penetrates your skin.
Loosen the high pressure fittings at the nozzles. Use
two wrenches to keep from twisting the return fit­tings. Use flare-nut wrenches to keep from rounding the shoulders.
Crank the genset until fuel appears at the loosened
fittings and then snug up each fitting. The engine should start and run when the first fitting is snugged.
Shut down the engine and torque the fittings to
19 25 lb-ft (25 34 N-m).

Troubleshooting
The following troubleshooting tables are designed to help you think through genset problems. The prob­lem could be as simple as an empty fuel tank, closed fuel shutoff valve or tripped circuit breaker. If you fail to resolve the problem after taking the corrective ac­tions suggested, see How to Obtain Service.
Troubleshooting time can be saved if abnormal en­gine gauge readings were noted before shutdown; that is, whether shutdown was due to low oil pressure or to high engine temperature. Note that shutdown occurs when oil pressure falls below 14 psi (97 kPa) or engine temperature reaches 222
F (106C).
FAULT CODE BLINKING
At fault shutdown, the status indicator light will re­peatedly blink sets of 1, 2, 3 or 4 blinks.
One blink indicates shutdown due to high en-
gine coolant temperature.
Two blinks indicate shutdown due to a loss of
engine oil pressure.
Three blinks indicate a service fault. Press
Stop once to cause the two-digit, second-level
shutdown code to blink. (Pressing Stop again will stop the blinking.) The two-digit code con-
sists of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 blinks, a brief pause, and then 1 to 9 blinks. The first set of blinks repre­sents the tens digit and the second set of blinks the units digit of the shutdown code number. For example, shutdown code No. 36 appears as:
blink-blink-blink—pause—blink-blink-blink-blink-blink-blink—long
pause—repeat
Four blinks indicate that cranking time exceed-
ed 35 seconds.
Fault Code Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are first level faults.
Pay close attention to the pause sequence to avoid interpreting first level faults as second-level Fault Codes Nos. 11, 22, 33, or 44.
To avoid the possibility of anyone misinterpreting
Code Nos. 3 and 4 as Code Nos. 33 and 44, the latter have not been assigned faults.
RESTORING FAULT CODE BLINKING
The fault code stops blinking after five minutes. Press Stop three times within three seconds to re­store fault code blinking.
Note: The last fault logged will blink even though the condition that caused the shutdown may have been corrected.
