2) Optional Equipment - Appendix A.
Chapters 1 through 5 of this Operation and Maintenance Manual identifies only the “stripped down”
version of the 120CU20 generator set. A list of optional equipment that makes this manual unique to the
generator set that you have purchased, appears in Appendix A.
The body of this manual includes documentation for the DC option, also known as the Transformer-
Rectifier (T-R). Details for other options may be included in Appendix A.
3) Orientation.
For purpose of orientation, the radiator is considered to be at the REAR of the unit. The generator and
controls are at the FRONT. RIGHT and LEFT are determined by standing at the REAR end facing the
machine. Thus, the control box is mounted on the LEFT FRONT side of the unit.
