Owner’s Manual for Generator
Operation
Generator Output Connections
installation should be in compliance with the national
electrical code (NEC), state and local regulations.
The unit is equipped with connection lugs, located on the
lower portion of the control box behind the lug box door.
The lugs provide connection points for attachment of
external loads to the generator. A large decal on the
inside of the connection lug door details the proper
connections for selected voltages.
Connections to the lugs should be made by running the
power cables up through the opening in the bottom of the
box.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not make any connections
directly to the lugs without routing the cables
through the opening. Use a hex-wrench to tighten the
cable connections.
The connection lug door is equipped with safety interlock
switches that will trip the main circuit breaker and disable
the voltage regulator if the door is opened while the unit
is operating.
Figure 3-4. Generator Connection Lugs
A ground connection is located next to the connection
lugs. The unit must be connected to ground for proper
operating safety. The generator neutral is bonded to
ground when it is shipped from the factory. The bonding
plate will need to be removed when the generator is used
as a standby power source.
Fine Voltage Adjustment
Adjustment of the output voltage from the generator is
necessary to provide the correct voltage to the end of the
power line. Voltage adjustment can be carried out at any
time on the Voltage Adjust screen.
