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.
Starting Electric Motors - Electric motors require much more
current (amps) to start them than to run them. Some motors,
particularly low cost split-phase motors, are very hard to start
and require 5 to 7 times as much current to start them as to run
them. Capacitor motors are easier to start and usually require 2
to 4 times as much current to start them as to run them.
Repulsion Induction motors are the easiest to start and usually
require 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times as much to start them as to run
them.
