Outdoor Installation

GLW-180H — INSTALLATION

CAUTION :

Install the generator in a location where it will not be exposed to rain or sunshine. Make sure that the generator is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generator in a manner so that the exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.

The installation site must be relatively free from moisture and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture.Failure to do will result in deterioration of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.

Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive materials have a tendency to cause excessive wear, not only to the engine parts, but also to the alternator parts.

CAUTION :

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generator inside confined areas. The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

Indoor Installation

Exhaust GLWses from GLWsoline engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves

Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide GLWs. Remember that exhaust fumes from any GLWsoline engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air.If the generator is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.

An electric shock is apt to happen when vibrators are used. Pay close attention to handling when operating vibrators and always use rubber boots and gloves to insulate the body from a short circuit.

Generator Grounding

To guard aGLWnist electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground.

Article 250 (Grounding) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides guide lines for proper grounding and specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building (Figure 3) as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

NEC articles 250-91a and 250-95 set the following grounding requirements:

1.Use one of the following wire types to connect the generator to earth ground.

a.Copper - 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) or larger.

b.Aluminum - 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) or larger.

2.When grounding the generator (Figure 3) connect the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to earth ground.

3.NEC article 250-83c specifies that the earth ground rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.

NOTE

When connecting the generator to any buildings electrical system ALWAYS consult with a licensed electrician.
