PAGE 12 — GA-2.3R2 A.C. GENERATOR— PARTS & OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #2 (03/05/01)
General Inspection Prior to Operation
This generator has been thoroughly inspected and accepted
prior to shipment from the factory. However, be sure to check
for damaged parts or components, or loose nuts and bolts,
which could have occurred in transit.
Ground
The nut and ground terminal on the generator should always
be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground. The
ground path should be of #8 size wire.
Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock
washer and the nut and tighten the nut fully. Connect the
other end of this wire to a suitable ground.
Circuit Breaker
A 2-pole, 17 amp
circuit breaker is provided on the control
box to protect the generator from an overload. Make sure to
switch the circuit breakers to the "OFF" position prior to
starting the engine.
Extension Cable
When electric power is to be provided to various tools or loads at
some distance from the generator, extension cords are normally
used. Cables should be sized to allow for distance in length and
amperage so that the voltage drop between the generator and
point of use (load) is held to a minimum. Use the cable selection
chart (Table 2 ) as a guide for selecting proper cable size.
