General Inspection Prior to Operation

This generator has been thoroughly inspected and accepted prior to shipment from the factory. However, be sure to check for damaged parts or components, or loose nuts and bolts, which could have occurred in transit.

GLW-180HPRE-SETUP

Circuit Breaker

To protect the generator from an overload, a single-pole 40 amp circuit breaker is provided on the control box. Make sure to switch this circuit breaker to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.

Ground

The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The ground path should be of #8 size wire.

Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut at the base of the generator and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground wire to a grounding rod as shown in Figure 3.

Extension Cable

When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection chart (Table 2 ) as a guide for selecting the proper extension cable size.
