A separate owner’s manual for the engine is supplied with this unit for your use.
2-2 General Information MN2417
Section 3 Receiving & Installation Receiving & Inspection When you receive your generator, there are several things you should do immediately. 1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to the commercial carrier that delivered your system. 2. Verify that the part number of the system you received is the same as the part number listed on your purchase order. 3.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation: 1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the system should be mounted on a flat, smooth, noncombustible level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation. 2. Installation should prevent water levels from reaching the generator. Drainage must be adequate to keep concrete pad free from standing water. 3. Installation should prevent obstructions by buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc.
Secure the Generator (Skid Mount only) Six mounting bolts (eight for TS130/175/225/350/500, twelve for TS400) in the base frame secure the generator to the shipping pallet. Remove these bolts, lift the generator and remove the shipping pallet. Secure the generator to the concrete pad using anchor hardware (not provided) in the base frame mounting holes (holes are 0.66” diameter). See Figure 3-2 and Table 3-2. Anchor bolts must be long enough to extend through the generator mounting frame.
Warning: Incorrect installation of this generator set could result in property damage, injury or death. Connection of the generator to its fuel source must be done by a qualified professional technician or contractor. WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury.
Single Phase Connections Single phase connections are made at load receptacles located by the operator panel, see Figure 3-3. Simply open the rear panel access door and make the connections. When the panel door is closed, the connections are weather tight. Figure 3-3 Receptacle Panel (Single Phase) Circuit Breakers (Single or Double pole) Circuit Breakers provides protection on some units. To reset a breaker, place it in the OFF then the ON position.
Three Phase Connections Three phase connections are made at L1, L2, L3 and N connections shown in Figure 3-5. An interlock trips the breaker if the door is opened during operation. Figure 3-5 Three Phase Connections TS25−TS175 Connections TS225−TS500 Connections Shipped Loose For power to be applied to these terminals, the Output Voltage Selector Switch must be in the 120/208V, 120/240V or 277/480V positions.
Frame Ground Connection WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of generator systems.
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Never jump start a battery, smoke in the area around the battery or cause any spark to occur in the area around the battery. The following precautions are to be followed when working on batteries: 1. Do not smoke when near batteries. 2. Do not cause flame or spark in battery area. 3. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.
Recommended Engine Oil and Battery Type When replacing batteries, use only the recommended battery for your generator, see Table 3-5.

Post Installation Checks Continued 16. Place the voltage output selector switch in the appropriate position. 17. Verify all loads are disconnected. 18. Verify the Master Control is in the “Stop” position. Connect the engine starting battery to the starter. Verify it is installed correctly. 19. Verify the fuel source is available. 20. Remove all tools, rags, etc. from inside the generator enclosure. Close all enclosure doors and be sure no hands are inside the generator enclosure when it starts. 21.
Section 4 Operation Towing the Generator WARNING: Never allow a person to ride in or on a trailer that is being towed. All states prohibit passengers in towed vehicles. A person can fall off and be struck be another vehicle or run over by the towed trailer. Failure to observe this warning can result in death. WARNING: Before using a tow vehicle, verify that the vehicle is designed for the load. Using a vehicle that is too small is very dangerous. Be certain that it can handle the M.G.V.W.
Selecting the Proper Towing Equipment Continued Electrical Trailer Wiring All trailers must have taillights, brake lights and turn signals connected to the towing vehicle’s electrical system. It is also recommended that a heavy duty turn signal flasher and emergency flasher (if separate) be installed since the trailer lights place an extra load on car flasher units. Towing Heavy Trailer Loads 1. Trailer brakes.

If doors remain open, engine will overheat due to insufficient air flow around engine.
See Figure 4-1 for component identification. 1. Be sure the generator is off. 2. Shut all enclosure doors and latch the locks. 3. Back the tow vehicle to within a few inches of the trailer coupler (Pintle or Ball). 4. Be sure the Coupler Handle is in the “UP” (open) position or the Pintle Hook is Open. 5. Adjust the trailer jack for the height of the hitch on the tow vehicle. 6. Back the tow vehicle so the trailer coupler is directly over the tow vehicle ball hitch or the Pintle hook. 7.
Trailer Setup See Figure 4-1 for component identification. Carefully read all instructions before starting. 1. Locate a suitable, level location. Also be sure there are no overhead wires or obstructions. The trailer is balanced so the majority of the weight rests on the tow bar (Jack). If on a minor incline, the safest way to position the trailer is to have the tow bar facing down the incline (front of the trailer lower than the rear of the trailer). 2. Install tire chocks if used.
