♦ 2.1.1 FUEL PRIMER
Before starting a cold engine (if it has not been start­
ed in more than two weeks), you must press this
switch for approximately 10 to 15 seconds to bring
fuel from the tank to the carburetor. This rocker type
switch springs back into its original position when
you release it. It is not necessary to press the primer
switch for LP units.
NOTE:
If the PRIMEPACT 50 has been reconnected for
dual voltage AC output (120/240 volts), you can
install line breakers having an amperage rating
that is different than that stated in Section 1.4
(Page 5). The replacement line breakers consist of
two separate breakers (one 20 amp, and one 30
amp] with a connecting piece between the breaker
handles (so that both breakers will operate at the
same time). If the unit is reconnected for dual
voltage, it is no longer RVIA listed.
2.2 OPTIONAL REMOTE
START/STOP PANEL
A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel is available that
allows you to start and stop the generator engine con­
veniently from Inside the vehicle. The model 9042
remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch and a gen­
erator run lamp.
You also can order model 9043, a remote panel that
includes a Start/Stop switch, a generator run lamp
and an hourmeter. The hourmeter provides a contin­
uous
indication of engine/generator operating time.
Use the hourmeter for checking off periodic mainte­
nance requirements on the unit.
♦ 2.1.2 START/STOP SWITCH
To crank and start the engine, hold this switch in the
START position. Release the switch when the engine
starts. To stop an operating engine, press and hold
the switch in the STOP position until the engine shuts
off. The switch center position is the RUN position.
♦ 2.1.3 FUSE
The fuse protects the engine’s DC control circuit
against electrical overload. If the fuse element has
melted open due to overloading, the engine cannot be
cranked. If you must replace the fuse, use only an
identical replacement.
♦ 2.1.4 MAIN BREAKER
The main breaker protects the generator’s AC output
circuit against overload and provides a method of
turning OFF the generator’s 120/240-volt AC output
to the vehicle circuits. The PRIMEPACT 50 has one
20-amp breaker and one 30-amp breaker.
