Automatic Voltage Regulator
(AVR) Cooling Fans
The system is equipped with two fans to cool the AVR
electronics. The primary fan is powered by AC during
operation. The secondary fan is powered by 12 VDC
through the controller. The fans are monitored during
operation and if a failure occurs, an alarm is displayed.
The secondary fan continues to operate for up to one
hour after the generator is shut down. Proper cooling
must occur before removing either battery connections or
7.5 amp fuse for maintenance or other service activity.
NOTE:
The AVR cooling air inlet includes a filter. Verify
the filter is installed and properly seated at time the unit is
installed. Check the filter at regular maintenance intervals
to verify proper airflow. See the Maintenance section of
the Owner’s Manual for details.
Battery Requirements
Group 26R, 12V, 525 CCA (Minimum CCA)
Battery Installation
Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if
necessary and have the battery fully charged before
installing it.
Before installing and connecting the battery, complete the
following steps:
1.
Verify that the generator has been turned OFF.
2.
Turn off normal source power supply to the transfer
switch.
3.
Remove the 7.5A fuse from the generator control
panel.
. Battery cables were factory connected at
the generator. Connect cables to battery posts as follows:
4.
Connect the red battery cable (from starter
contactor) to the battery post indicated by a
positive, POS or (+).
5.
Connect the black battery cable (from frame
ground) to the battery post indicated by a negative,
NEG or (–).
6.
Install the red battery post cover (included).
NOTE:
Dielectric grease should be used on battery
posts to aid in the prevention of corrosion.
NOTE:
Damage will result if battery connections are
made in reverse.

NOTE:
In areas where temperatures fall below 32 °F (0
°C), it is recommended that a pad type battery heater be
installed to aid in cold climate starting. This is available
as a cold weather kit through an authorized service
dealer.

official recycling center in accordance with all local
laws and regulations. Failure to do so could result in
environmental damage, death or serious injury.
