No matter how automatic you try to make your power system, it seems something always crops up that makes it not so automatic.
I changed oil in our standby gen yesterday. Before a person can even open the access door to the generator you have to deal with the big red and yellow decal on it that says:
!DANGER!
This Generator Equipped with Auto Start System
Generator May Start Without Warning
disable generator auto start before servicing
My wife just called me a bit ago and told me the bank is down to 23.6 volts and the inverter is flashing a Gen Failed To Start Error.
My system needs another decal that says:
!Hey Idiot!
re-enable generator auto start after servicing
