Prior to powering tools and equipment make sure the generator’s rated
voltage, wattage and amperage capacity is adequate to supply all electrical
loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity,
it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for
connection to a separate generator.
WARNING! THE GENERATOR WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 110
POUNDS. USE CARE AND THE PROPER LIFTING OR HOISTING
EQUIPMENT WHEN MOVING IT TO THE INSTALLATION
LOCATION. ALWAYS CONNECT HOIST LINES TO THE FRAME
OF THE GENERATOR.
Make sure to locate and install the generator outdoors where cooling air is
readily available.
Install the generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked by
obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the path of
heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for
protection. In normal weather conditions, the air vent should face the
prevailing wind direction.
Install the generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or
floodwaters cannot reach it.
Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for
maintenance.
Place the generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment
being powered to reduce the length of extension cords.
Mount the generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of
the generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the frame by at least
one foot. Contact a cement contractor for slab specifications if necessary.
Attach the frame to the concrete slab using 3/8” diameter expansion anchor
bolts (not supplied).
Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the ground connector
(8) on the generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at
least 24 inches deep into the earth. The grounding rod must be an earth-driven
copper or brass rod (electrode) which can adequately ground the generator.
After installation, check the total rated and peak wattage of the connected appliances to ensure the
generator is not overloaded. With an AGS, if the main electric supply is cut, the generator will cut
off the outside circuit and automatically start itself to provide electricity to the connected appliances.
Once the main power supply is restored, the generator will shut off itself and reconnect the circuit
automatically.
