Connect the battery cables to the battery. Attach negative battery cable last.

Close the 120VAC circuit breaker to the battery charger.

Measure the voltage at the battery before and after the charger is turned on.

Verify all AC electrical connections are tight at the circuit breaker and transfer switch.

Visually inspect entire area looking for loose paper, plastic wrappings, leaves, etc.

Check all hoses clamps fittings for leaks or dam- age.

Open the generator main line circuit breaker.

Connect a manometer to the gas line and record the static pressure. It must be as listed in the Specifications.

Insert the fuse into the control panel.

Move the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the MAN- UAL position. The engine should now crank and start.

Check voltage at the generator terminals.

For 3-phase units, check phase rotation at the transfer switch terminals. The generator phase rotation must match the utility phase rotation.

Check for coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust leaks.

Close the generators main line circuit breaker.

Turn the generator set off.

Connect the UTILITY supply to the transfer switch.

Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.

Disconnect utility power before the transfer switch.
