INSTALLATION

DANGER

•Improper installation can damage your electrical system and cause property damage, serious personal injury or death. Installation MUST be performed by a licensed electrician and plumber, or gas technician and installation MUST comply with all applicable building and electrical codes. Some areas may require building permits and/or detailed sight inspections prior to approving the unit for operation.

NOTE: The generator frame has been designed with rectangular slots and frame tubes to be used with a forklift for removing the unit from the pallet and positioning the unit on the cement pad.

WARNING

•Hazardous voltage can cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible whenever electricity is present. Open the main circuit breaker of all power sources before servicing the equipment. Configure the installation to electrically ground the generator set, transfer switch and related equipment and electrical circuits to comply with applicable codes and standards. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because these conditions increase the risk of electrocution.

•When lifting the generator or using hoisting equipment, be careful not to touch overhead power lines. Proper tools and equipment and qualified personnel should be used in all phases of handling and unpacking.

•This generator has an open bottom and must be mounted on a cement pad.

•The exhaust from this product is extremely hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, or other combustible materials, must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.

LOCATION AND GENERATOR

PLACEMENT

NOTE: The generator has an engine fan that draws the air in from the side panel slots, circulates it within the enclosure and forces the air through the radiator and out the lid on the exhaust outlet side of the unit.

For proper ventilation and maintenance, locate the generator outdoors in an area that will allow a minimum

of four feet of clearance between the generator and any other structure.

When placing the generator, the direction of the exhaust should be pointing away from windows, doors and any ventilation system.

Insure that sufficient air flow is available to remove the exhaust fumes and cool the generator properly.

CAUTION

•Covering or restricting the air passages on the generator will cause the unit to overheat and may create a fire hazard. Do not allow snow or leaves to cover enclosure openings.

•Leave a four foot open area around all sides of the unit. Do not plant trees or plants which may grow within four feet of the unit.

•Unit should be located such that it prevents combustible material from accumulating under the generator set.

•The generator MUST be installed outdoors.

The generator should be installed with masonry anchor bolts on a level wire reinforced cement pad that is 4-6 inches thick and extends a minimum of 6” around all sided of the unit.

NOTE: It would be extremely difficult, if not impractical,

to attempt a detailed coverage of every installation possibility. For that reason, much of the information is general in nature. Plan the installation carefully. Information in this manual is provided as a guide only and is not meant to serve as a detailed installation plan. Illustrations provided in the manual must not be construed as blueprints.

All local applicable codes, standards and regulations must be followed for the installation of the generator. Some areas may require building permits and/or detailed sight inspections prior to approving the unit for use.

NOTE: Utility wiring from the house to power the battery charger and other start assisting components should be tightened on the identified terminal block at a torque of 20 lb- in. The wire size is to be selected according to allowable ampacities given in Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code.

Signal wiring from the transfer switch is to be 18AWG multi-strand wire tightened on the identified terminal block to a torque of 20 lb- in.

Power leads from the generator/circuit breaker being wired to the transfer switch should be tightened in the identified terminal block to 120 lb-in. The wire size is to be selected according to allowable ampacities given in Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code.

Field wiring of this unit must be conducted by a licensed electrician.
