Outdoor Installation

Install the generator/welder in a area that is free of debris, bystanders, and overhead obstructions. Make sure the generators is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift around. Also install the generators 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 to engine and alternator parts.

CAUTION

Pay close attention to ventilation when operating the generators inside tunnels and caves.The engine exhaust contains noxious elements.

Mounting

The generators should always be mounted on a flat level surface to isolate vibration of the generators when it is running. DO NOT place the generators on slopes, the possibility exists that the generators could slide.

CAUTION

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.

GA-6H/GA-6HA — INSTALLATION

Indoor Installation

Exhaust gases from gasoline 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 gas. Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air. If the generators is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.

Generators Grounding

To guard against electrical shock and possible damage to the equipment, it is important to provide a good EARTH ground. Always use the ground terminal on the generators to ground the generator. Ground the generators from its ground connector so that the resistance to ground is 500 ohms or less.

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 as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

NEC articles 250-64(b) and 250-66 set the following grounding requirements:

1.Use one of the following wire types to connect the generators 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 generators (Figure 3) connect the ground cable between the lock washer and the nut on the generators and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the ground cable to earth ground.

3.NEC article 250-52(c) specifies that the earth ground rod should be buried a minimum of 8 ft. into the ground.
