TP-6329 8/07 27 Section 3 Installation Instructions
3.7 Install Engine Starting Battery
Explosion.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Relays in the battery charger
cause arcs or sparks.
Locate the battery in a well-ventilated
area. Isolate the battery charger from
explosive fumes.
WARNING
Battery gases. Explosion can cause severe injury or
death. Battery gases can cause an explosion. Do not smoke
or permit flames or sparks to occur near a battery at any time,
particularly when it is charging. Do not dispose of a battery in a
fire.
To prevent burns and sparks that could cause an
explosion, avoid touching the battery terminals with tools or
other metal objects. Remove all jewelry before servicing the
equipment. Discharge static electricity from your body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface
away from the battery. To avoid sparks, do not disturb the
battery charger connections while the battery is charging.
Always turn the battery charger off before disconnecting the
battery connections. Ventilate the compartments containing
batteries to prevent accumulation of explosive gases.
1. Verify that the generator set master switch is in the
OFF/RESET position.
2. Ensure that the starting battery is fully charged
before placing the battery in service.
3. Clean the battery posts and/or adapters if
necessary.
4. Install battery post adapters, if needed.
5. Place the battery on the battery rack on the skid.
See dimension drawing ADV-6916A in Section 7
for the battery location.
6. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+)
battery terminal.
7. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (--)
battery terminal.
8. Place the boots over the battery terminals.
9. Plug the battery heater and battery charger, if
equipped, into the 120 VAC power supply.
3.8 Install and Connect Fuel
Supply
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death.
Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a
well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment
and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank
while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit
flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel
vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use
flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by
vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of
fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems
before resuming generator set operation.
Note: Have the fuel piping and regulator installed by the
fuel supplier. The fuel supply installation must
comply with NFPA and local codes.
1. See Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, and Figure 3-6 for the
fuel supply requirements. Add up the fuel
requirements for the generator set plus all other
gas-fired equipment fueled by the same supply.
Check that the primary regulator and gas meter
have sufficient capacity for the fuel requirements
for the generator set plus all other gas-fired
equipment. Have the fuel supplier install a larger
gas meter, if necessary.
