Each wire should be stripped back 7/8 of an inch and inserted
into one of the contacts in the plug kit. You will then either
need to solder them together using a good grade of resin
core solder or they can be crimped with an appropriate
compression crimper or both.
Approved Crimping tools are:
1. Anderson Power Products
2. ETC Model HHS hydraulic crimper
3. ITT Blackburn NO. 1640
4. T&B (Thomas & Betts) #TBM5
To complete the assembly of the disconnect plug refer to the
instruction sheet in the plug kit.
WARNING: Electrical Shock
DURING THE NEXT STEP, THE LOAD DISCONNECT PLUG
SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED INTO ITS RECEPTACLE.
ALSO, MAKE SURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT TO WHICH THE
PLUG LEADS (CABLES) ARE BEING CONNECTED IS NOT
ENERGIZED (LIVE).
Strip the insulation off the free end of each of the plug leads
(cables), and connect them to the load transfer switch (or
directly to the load).
Installation
FOUNDATION MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a foundation if it is to be used as a
permanent or standby power source (see Figure 2). See
“TRAILER MOUNTING” if generator will be used as a portable
power source (see Figure 3). When planning a foundation
consider the following points:
Figure 2
A. The foundation location should enable aligning the drive
shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly straight line be-
tween the power take-off and the generator input shaft.
Misalignment must be less than 15 degrees during generator
operation, even though the mechanical design of the tumbling
bar would allow greater misalignment.
B. The foundation must be solid enough to absorb generator
starting and reflected load torque during operation.
C. The foundation surface should be flat.
D. Space is required around the generator for mounting
switching devices, making connections, and for servicing.
E. All four generator mounting pads must rest firmly on the
foundation. Install shims if necessary to even out the founda-
tion under the mounting pads then bolt the generator firmly in
place.
TRAILER MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a trailer if you plan to use it as a
portable power source. See Figure 3. When selecting or
building a trailer to mount the generator, consider the follow-
ing points:
A. The trailer construction must be strong enough to support
the generator.
B. The design of the trailer must enable the trailer to remain
stable during operation, and to resist tipping caused by
generator starting and reflected load torque.
