Enter.
2. Use the navigation button to select [Automatic].
3. Press Enter.

Important: To avoid XW Auto Generator Start faults, try not to
combine automatic and external manual starts and stops.
When the generator has been started automatically, allow it to stop
automatically unless a situation occurs that requires the generator to be
stopped urgently.
Likewise, if the generator has been started manually, ensure that it is
stopped manually. Only the “Max Run Time” setting can automatically
stop the generator after it has been started manually.
