Safety first: Ensure the generator is safe to operate and ATS is functioning correctly.
- Verify AUTO mode: Confirm the Firman controller is set to AUTO, not MANUAL or OFF.
- Check exercise settings: Enter the controller menu and review the exercise day, time, and duration. Correct any errors and save settings.

- Check battery health: A weak battery may fail to crank at the scheduled time. Test and replace if needed.
