Dear EditoR
Spread the word, please. The biggest problem with tactical quiet
generators is operators leaving the PANEL LIGH±S switch set to ON
after the generator has been shut down.
When the switch is left ON the batteries drain and go dead! This
happens a lot, especially on
bright days when it's hard to
te²l iF the panel lights are on.
So³ aFter the generator has
been shut down, put the
PANEL L´GHTS switch in the
Oµµ position¶
Also, make sure the DEAD
C·ANK switch is Oµ¸ This
makes the generator safe for
PMCS. ´f the DEAD C·ANK is
Oµ¹ no one can accidentally
crank the engine while
