installation instructions
caution!
Always make sure the Engine’s Ignition Switch is
“
OFF
”
prior to
performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of the Generator or Engine.
Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles when assembling and
using the Generator.
Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency
or portable power systems. Investigate the local building and electrical codes
before installing this unit.
Prior to providing Generator power to tools and equipment, make sure the Gen-
erator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity is adequate to supply all
electrical loads the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity,
it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools/equipment for connection
to a separate Generator.
general location:
Locate the Generator outdoors only where cool air is readily available. Locate
the Generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked by obstructions
such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the path of heavy winds or
snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for protection. The air inlet, in
normal weather conditions, should face the prevailing wind direction.
Locate the Generator on a flat and level concrete slab or other area where rain
drainage or flood waters can not reach it.
Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for mainte-
nance and for proper air cooling.
Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment
being powered to reduce the length of extension cords.
grounding the generator:
note:
It is recommended that only a licensed electrician perform this procedure.
