Manual

,_ NOTE: Prior to powering tools and equipment make sure the generator's rated voltage, wattage and
amperage capacity is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the
generator's capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for
connection to a separate generator.
Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency power systems. Investigate
your local building and electrical codes before installing this unit. Installation must be completed by licensed
contractors.
,_IL WARNING! The generator weighs approximately 195 pounds. Use care and the proper lifting or
hoisting equipment when moving it to the installation location. Always connect hoist lines to the frame of the
generator.
General Location
Make sure to locate and install the generator outdoors where cooling air is readily available, install the
generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked by obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow
drifts. Locating it in the path of heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for
protection. In normal weather conditions, the air vent should face the prevailing wind direction.
Install the generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or flood waters can not reach it.
Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for maintenance.
Place the generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment being powered to reduce the
length of extension cords.
Supporting and Mounting
Mount the generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the generator. The slab must
extend on all sides beyond the frame by at least one foot. Contact a cement contract or for slab specifications
if necessary. Attach the frame to the concrete slab using 3/8" diameter expansion anchor bolts (not supplied).
Grounding
,_ NOTE: it is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform this procedure.
Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the ground connector on the generator power panel
(picture below) to a grounding rod (picture below). It must be driven at least 24" deep into the soil). The
grounding rod must be an earth-driven copper or brass (electrode) which can adequately ground the generator.
