Owners Manual

Access Doors

The Home Generator System is equipped with an enclosure that has four access doors (Figure 4).The doors are named for a significant component located behind them. Starting with the side that has the fuel connection and proceeding clockwise, the doors are named:

•Oil Service door

•Air Intake door

•Control Panel door

•Battery door

Each Home Generator System is equipped with three identical keys.These keys fit the locks that secure the oil service and control panel doors.

CAUTION! DO NOT operate the backup generator unless the Oil Service and/or Control Panel doors are installed. Failure to do so will cause overheating.

To Remove an Access Door:

1.Insert a key into the lock of the access door you wish to remove and turn one quarter turn clockwise.

NOTE: The key is retained in the lock when the locks are open.

2.Grasp the door’s lift handle and pull the door upwards until the security pins are free of the lower base.

3.With the security pins free, pull the lift handle outward (away) from the unit while pulling the door down and

out of the upper door channel.The door will come free of the generator enclosure.

The battery door and the air intake door do not have locks or lift handles.They are opened by lifting on the louvers instead of a lift handle. However, you must remove the door lock screw, found directly above the center of the door. Replace the screw to secure the access door.

CAUTION! Burn Hazard! The exhaust port can reach a temperature of 600° F during use and remains hot after shutdown. Carelessness could cause severe burns.

To Install an Access Door:

1.Support the door by grasping the lift handle or louver. Guide the top of the door into the generator enclosure.

2.Lift the door up into its upper channel until the security pins clear the sill of the enclosure.

3.Push the lower half of the door into the door recess until it is flush with the sides.

4.Seat the door by pushing it down until the rubber coated security pins engage and the door rests on the mounting sill.

5.If installing a lockable door, turn the key one quarter turn counterclockwise. Remove the key.
