a. General. This paragraph provides information
about the various controls and instruments for
proper operation of the generator sets.
b. Fuel Selector Valve. The fuel selector valve
(fig. 2-1) is a four-position, rotary-type valve that
is used to turn the fuel supply off, or to select
between an external fuel supply and the on-set
tank. It is located in front of the fuel tank on the
right side of the generator set.
c. Engine Off-Run Switch. The engine off-run
switch (fig. 2-2), a two position, toggle-type switch,
is used to stop the engine when the switch has
been positioned in the OFF position. The engine
can be started after the switch has been posi-
tioned in the RUN position.
d. Choke Lever. The choke lever (fig. 2-2), a
double-armed lever, is secured to the choke shaft
at the front of the carburetor. It is normally kept
in the OPEN position. To choke the engine, rotate
the lever in a counterclockwise direction.
