The Power-Tech generators usually have a automatic power transfer
switch. There is a delay between the time the generator is started
and when it comes on line. Power-tech says to not hold the switch in
the off position for more than 20 seconds in hot or cold weather, to
do so will fry the glow plugs. It's always a good idea to make sure
that when the gen set comes on line that you have most large item's
turned off, hotwater heater, a/c, engine heat etc. then as George
says turn them on one at a time when the engine has run for a while.
I've been told that this is more important for the actual generator
part than the diesel engine. Work's for me. Bob 93pt Illinois
