INTENDED USES
1. These engine generator sets have been designed
specifically for Vehicle mounting and mobile use. The
generator output is available in the junction box on the top
of the generator shell. Receptacles are not provided in the
“control box” since the unit is intended to be wired into the
vehicles electrical distribution system. The vehicle
electrical distribution system must include a main line
circuit breaker (MLCB) to protect the generator and your
wiring. The vehicle distribution wiring and receptacles
carry the generator output power to the loads (portable
lights appliances and tools). These units are dual wound
generators, with two separate 120 Volt windings. These
windings can be connected for full power 120 volt OR 120/
240 volt output. When connected for 120/240 dual voltage,
the 120 volt loads must be split and balanced to avoid
overloading one of the generator 120 volt windings. See
unit capabilities for further explanation.
2. These units require large quantities of fresh air for
cooling of both the engine and the generator. Fresh air is
drawn from both the engine end and the generator end
and is exhausted at the center of the unit. For safety, long
life and adequate performance, these units should not be
run in small compartments without the access door open
to allow positive fresh air flow.
RESTRICTED USES
1. DO NOT remove from the base assembly. Removal of
the generator from the base assembly or operating
without the shock mounts installed may cause excessive
vibration and damage to the engine generator set.
2. DO NOT operate this generator without the
compartment door open., i.e. generator compartment of
rescue vehicles, motor homes or travel trailers. Closed
compartments will not allow enough free flow fresh air to
reach the engine generator set for cooling. Overheating
will cause damage to both the engine and the generator.
Small compartments may also develop hot spots where
there is very little air flow and could cause fire.
3. DO NOT attempt to operate this unit at 50 cycles. These
units are designed and governed to operate at 60 Cycles
only.
UNIT CAPABILITIES
Generator Connections - The diagram below represents
a typical 5500 watt generator. Receptacles A and B are
the two 120 Volt duplex receptacles. Up to 2750 watts at
120 volts (22.9 Amps) can be taken from the generator at
each of the receptacles. This generator produces 120
and 240 volt, 60 Hz (Hertz), AC (Alternating Current).
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED TO PREVENT
OVERLOADING EITHER OF THE GENERATORS
120 VOLT OUTPUT CIRCUITS (A OR B).
Check the appliance or tool nameplates for the current
and voltage to insure compatibility. Remember that
power taken from receptacle C reduces the power
available at both A and B. Any remaining 120 volt loads
should be equally divided between A and B. Failure to
split the load will cause permanent damage to the stator.
Although circuit breakers are provided, damage due to
overloading constitutes abuse and will not be warranted.
