TLG-12SPX —LOAD APPLICATION

Before Starting

Generator and Control Panel

1.Be sure to disconnect the electrical load and switch the circuit breaker to the “OFF” position prior to starting the engine.

2.Connect the negative battery cable (BLACK) to the negative post on the battery (Figure 17).

NOTE

If output (kVA) is not given on the equipment nameplate, approximate output may be determined by multiplying voltage by amperage by

NEGATIVE

POSTIVE BATTERY

Figure 17. Battery Connections

Motors and motor-driven equipment draw much greater current for starting than during operation.

An inadequate size connecting cable which cannot carry the required load can cause a voltage drop which can burn out the appliance or tool and overheat the cable.

When connecting a resistance load such as an incandescent lamp or electric heater, a capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW) can be used.

When connecting a fluorescent or mercury lamp, a capacity of up to the generating set’s rated output (kW) multiplied by 0.6 can be used.

When connecting an electric drill or other power tools, pay close attention to the required starting current capacity.

3. Close all engine enclosure doors (Figure 18).

4.Ground any equipment necessary using the ground lug on the generator, and the GFCI ground plug located on the output terminal panel, next to the throttle lever. See Figure 8, page 29 for proper grounding techniques.
