Adjusting Crank Disconnect
This adjusts when the starter disengages upon start
Turn the Crank Disconnect adjustment 30 turns counter clockwise.
Then turn it about 3 turns clock wise. Try to start the engine. It should
crank and stop quickly. If your engine control has an engine started LED
it will be lit. Now try turning the crank disconnect adjustment 1 turn
clockwise and try restarting the engine. Keep turning the adjustment
clockwise and attempting to start until the engine starts reliably. If the
Overcrank and Overspeed LEDS light at the same time on your unit see
the trouble shooting guide for more help.
Adjusting Overspeed
This adjusts overspeed safety trip
Be sure you have adjusted the crank disconnect first. Turn the Over-
speed adjustment 30 turns clockwise. Flip Switch 5 to the on position.
Start the engine. It should crank and start. If your engine control has an
engine started LED it will be lit. Now start turning the overspeed adjust-
ment counterclockwise until the engine control shuts down the engine in
an overspeed fault. Turn Sw 5 off. If the Overcrank and Overspeed
LEDS light at the same time on your unit see the trouble shooting guide
for more help.
Adjusting Fault Delay
This adjusts how long engine can run in fault mode
Turn the Fault Delay adjustment 30 turns counter clockwise. This will
allow for about 1 second of fault delay. Fault delay is begun after the
engine has started. The purpose of the delay is to allow time for oil
pressure to build adequately before the oil pressure monitor starts
checking the oil pressure sender. High water temperature is also ig-
nored during the fault delay time to allow engine coolant to circulate in
the engine.
Adjusting Crank Time
This adjusts starter on time
Turn the Crank Cycle adjustment 30 turns counter clockwise.
Then turn it about 3 turns clock wise. This will allow about 1 second or
so of actual engine cranking (starting motor on) time. Each turn up adds
about 1 second to the crank time. Adjusting the crank time automatically
sets the rest time to the same value.
