TLG-12SPX — PRE-SETUP

General Inspection Prior to Operation

The TLG-12SPX 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.

Circuit Breaker

To protect the generator from an overload, a 3-pole, 65 amp, circuit breaker is provided to protect the UNV output terminals from overload. Make sure to switch circuit breaker to the "OFF" position prior to starting the engine.

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 Guide (Table 6) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.

NOTE

ALWAYS consult with a licensed electrician for correct extension cord wire size.
