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.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Trailer may tip over and cause injuries if wheels are not
spaced far enough apart.
C. The trailer height and mounting position of the
generator on the trailer should enable aligning the
drive shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly
straight line between the power take-off and
generator input shafts. Misalignment must be less
than 15 degrees during generator operation, even
though the mechanical design of the tumbling bar
would allow greater misalignment.
D. The generator mounting area of the trailer bed
should be flat. All four generator mounting pads
must rest firmly on the trailer bed. Install shims if
necessary to even out the bed under the mounting
pads, then bolt the generator firmly in place.
INSTALLATION
FOUNDATION MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a foundation if it is to be used as
a permanent or standby power source. When planning a
foundation, consider the following points:
A. The foundation location should enable aligning the
drive shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly-
straight line between 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
may 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. For dimensions needed for install for your specific
generator, please refer to it’s outline drawing. The
hardware needed is dependent on your distinct
application.
F. All four generator mounting pads must rest firmly on
the foundation. Install shims if necessary to even out
the foundation 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. When selecting or building a
trailer to mount the generator, consider the following
points:

WARNING: Equipment Damage
Never use acid core solder. When soldering insure no excess
solder runs down on the contact surface - Solder on the contact
surface will not allow the contacts to mate properly causing
them to burn up.
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 compres-
sion 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 ENER-
GIZED (LIVE).
8. 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).
