Section 3: Operation
Site Prep Verification
It is important that the generator is installed in such a way
that the airflow into and out of the generator is not
impeded. Verify that all shrubs or tall grasses have been
removed within 3 ft. (0.91m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure. It is also important
that the generator is not subject to water intrusion. Verify
that all potential sources such as water sprinklers, roof
run-off, rain gutter down spouts and sump pump dis-
charges are directed away from the generator enclosure.
Turn the generator OFF before performing maintenance.
Remove 7.5 Amp fuse, T1 and T2 battery charge fuses,
and disconnect battery cables to prevent accidental start
up. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) cable first, then
disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable. When connecting
the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, the
NEGATIVE cable last.

Local codes may require this compartment to be locked.
A hasp is provided so the owner/operator can secure the

120V GFCI Outlet/15 Amp Breaker
(16-22 kW Only)
Some units are equipped with an external 15 Amp, 120
volt GFCI convenience outlet located in the top corner of
the compartment. See “C” in
Figure 3-1
When the generator is running, in the absence of utility
power, this outlet may also be used to power items out-
side the home such as lights or power tools. This outlet
may also be used when utility power is present by run-
ning the generator in manual mode.
This outlet does not provide power if the generator is not
running. Do not use this outlet when the generator is in
Exercise mode. This outlet is protected by a 15 Amp cir-
cuit breaker in the side compartment.
