OPM-133/E
1. These engine-generator sets are designed for portable
heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles are provided
on the control panel to permit 120 and 240 Volt portable
appliances and tools to be plugged directly into them.
Please note that the 3-wire 240 Volt receptacle(s) on
these units are designed to power only 240 Volt tools.
There are two hot leads and a ground wire, but no
neutral connection, in the 3-wire 240Volt receptacle.
A 4-wire receptacle (two hot, one ground, and one
neutral) has been provided on the control panel for
use in temporary power applications requiring 120/240
Volt power. Consult a licensed electrician for wiring the
TemPower plug and connecting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered,
isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your
electrician connect to the control panel using a 120/240
Volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P).
2. If the generator set is connected to an existing
distribution system, a fully isolated manual transfer switch
must be installed. The transfer switch prevents damage to
the generator and the other circuit components if main
line power is restored while the generator is connected.
This generator is GFCI protected, so the transfer switch
needs to be GFCI compatible. If the transfer switch is not
GFCI compatible, the breaker on the generator will
always trip.
3. Many homes and construction sites are wired for at least
60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater than the
capacity of this portable generator. When installing the
generator at these sites, a secondary emergency
distribution panel may have to be installed. The
emergency distribution panel must be installed by a
licensed electrician according to all applicable codes.
The electrician will move the critical circuits to be
powered during the outage to the emergency panel.
Keep in mind only a limited amount of amperage is
available from the generator set. Some circuit breakers
may still have to be turned off to prevent an overload on
the generator during the initial start up. See the
nameplate on your generator for the amperage
capabilities of your unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load a[[lied to
the generator will cause the generator to produce low
voltage and may damage the engine generator set. It
may also cause severe damage to the loads connected
to the generator at that time. Improper loading of
the generator set constitutes abuse and will not be
covered by warranty.
