GENERATOR OUTPUT CONNECTION LUGS
The generator is equipped with connection lugs behind a door below the controller face. The lugs provide
connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the
connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages.
Connections to the lugs should be made by running the power cables through the circular plastic bushing
on the lower right side of the control box. DO NOT make any connections directly to the lug without routing
the cables through this bushing. The connection lug door is equipped with a safety interlock switch that will
automatically trip the main circuit breaker and disable the voltage regulator when the lug door is opened.
Use a 5/16” hex-wrench to tighten the cable connections.
A ground connection is located next to the connection lugs. The unit
MUST HAVE
this ground lug con-
nected to a good earthen ground for proper operating safety. The ground connection
SHOULD BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (NEC) AS WELL AS ANY STATE OR LOCAL
GUIDELINES OR CODES.
WARNING!
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that only a trained and licensed electri-
cian perform any wiring and related connections to the generator. Instal-
lation should be in compliance with the NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE
(NEC) as well as any local or state guidelines as required by law. Failure
to follow proper installation requirements may result in equipment or
property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING!
Before any connections are made to the generator, make sure that the
main circuit breaker and the control power switch are in the OFF “O”
position. Potentially lethal voltages may be present at the generator
connection lugs.
WARNING!
Improper or incorrect connections to a buildings electrical system can
cause potentially lethal voltages to backfeed onto utility lines. This
may result in injury or electrocution to utility workers nearby. Make
sure the generator is suppling power to an isolated object or building
that is not connected to any utility lines.
