7 DANGER  With the switch set to AUTO, the engine can crank and start suddenly without warning. Such automatic start up normally occurs when utility source voltage drops below a pre-set level. To prevent possible injury that might be caused by such sudden starts, set the AUTO/ OFF/MANUAL switch to ...

8 RPM SIGNAL FAILURE (FLASHING RED OVERSPEED INDICATOR) If the R-200A controller does not receive a signal from the engine flywheel sensor, the R-200A control-ler cannot maintain the generator output frequency or monitor for an overspeed condition. If this sig-nal is lost the R-200A controller will ...
