On your Automatic Transfer Switch ( the little gray box you see on the right in the picture above) you have two blue buttons. One is a Manual test switch. The other has a clock on it and this is your exercise set button. Hold it down for a FULL 3 seconds if you want it to excercise without a load (not powering your home) Hold it down for a FULL 6 seconds if you want it to exercise with a load every week. Your generator will start and run for 20 minutes, and then shut down. Now every week your generator will exercise at the time and day that you pushed the set button.

The chattering sound is the stepper motor trying to cycle. Check to make sure there is no interference, move the throttle linkage by hand back and forth fully as sometimes the 17, 18, and 20 butterfly valve sticks on the carburetor gasket. If this happens, remove the gasket and use a file to put a good bevel (45 degree angle) in it to stop it from hitting. Thats all it takes.
