GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

Before Starting

CAUTION

The engine’s exhaust contains harmful emissions.

ALWAYS have adequate ventilation when operating. Direct exhaust away from nearby personnel.

WARNING

NEVER manually start the engine with the main, GFCI or auxiliary circuit breakers in the ON (closed) position.

1.Place the main,G.F.C.I.,and aux. circuit breakers (Figure 35) in the OFF position prior to starting the engine.

Figure 35. Main, Aux. and GFCI

Circuit Breakers (OFF)

2.Make sure the voltage change-over board has been configured for the desired output voltage.

3.Connect the load to the receptacles or the output terminal lugs as shown in Figure 11. These load connection points can be found on the output terminal panel and the output terminal panel’s hard wire hookup panel.

4.Tighten terminal nuts securely to prevent load wires from slipping out.

5.Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 36).
