Generator Control- A Doozie [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

William,

Thank you for offering a diagram.  I've never heard of Visio so I'm guessing
I can't open it.  A jpg would probably work and if that fails the old
fashioned fax @ 417-455-0290 would most assuredly work.  I'll look forward
to them.

Thanks
Travis
