INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this “Generator Ready” Kit for the GUARDIAN® air-cooled 12kW and 15kW automatic generators. This kit will provide you the ability to pre-wire your home or business in anticipation of the eventual purchase of a GUARDIAN® home standby generator. This kit will also enable the operation of the GUARDIAN® ULTRA SOURCE portable generator for use with your home. The majority of the labor involved in the generator installation is in the wiring. If you are purchasing for new construction or retro-fitting in an existing home this kit will save you time and money in process. When the time comes to add your GUARDIAN® Automatic Home Standby Generator, all you have left is to connect the unit to the fuel source and install a wiring harness from the generator to the external connection box. Then, just add your starting battery and you have the ultimate automatic home standby generator system. The Guardian® is on duty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe operation be copied and posted near the unit’s installation site. Safety should be stressed to all operators and potential operators of this equipment.

Generac cannot possibly anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method or operating technique Generac does not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You also must make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the equipment unsafe.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

•Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as does the standby generator when it is in operation.

•Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY

RESULT.

•In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a non-conducting implement, such as a rope or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

•Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving components causing injury.
