Physical Location

Your generator is portable to go where the work is. To be safe, several factors must be considered:

1.Keep extension cords as short as possible.

2.For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a flat, smooth, non-flammable level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation.

3.The location for the generator must be dry. Never operate a generator in an area that has standing water or puddles.

4.Prevent obstructions (buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc.). It is important that the unit be operated in a reasonably clean environment.

5.All engines give off considerable heat when running. The engine in your generator set uses air to keep it cool so it is important that the ambient temperature is cool. Where natural ventilation is inadequate a fan to boost circulation should be used.

WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.

6.Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Never operate an engine indoors.

7.All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible electrocution hazard.

Installation

The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped to

 

you. External connections required at the time of installation are:

 

1.

Electrical Connections.

 

2.

Frame Ground Connection.

Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the front panel using electrical cords with the proper mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.

WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.

Use correct size insulated wire to connect the generator to the load. The gauge of the wire will depend on the distance to the load, the permissible voltage drop at the load, and the current required by the load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent electrician. Using wire that is too small can result in fire hazard. Also, be sure the wire has the appropriate ratings for insulation and environment conditions. Use only U.L. approved extension cords rated for outdoor use.
