For a battery start, where should the GEN RESET switches be set?

Setting the GEN RESET switches to NORM during a battery start is necessary to ensure that the electrical systems are configured correctly for a proper start sequence. In the NORM position, the generator control system is engaged to monitor the generator's output and function appropriately once the engine starts.

This setting allows the generator to take over the electrical supply from the battery after the start, ensuring that essential systems receive the necessary power continuity and that the battery does not become over-discharged or damaged. Other positions, such as OFF or TEST, do not provide the required regulation and monitoring needed during the starting process, which could lead to system malfunctions or electrical failures during engine operation.
