WARNING

Automatic startup of the generator set during installation can cause severe

personal injury or death. Make sure the generator set is shut down and

disabled:

1. Press the generator set's "O" (Off) button to stop the generator set.

Allow the generator set to thoroughly cool to the touch.

2. Turn off and disconnect the battery charger from the AC source before

disconnecting the battery cables.

3. Disconnect the negative (–) cable from the battery and secure it from

contacting the battery terminals to prevent accidental starting.

NOTICE

Refer to regional codes and the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) for all

electrical installation requirements.

NOTICE

Class 1 wiring methods must be used for connecting the generator set.

AC Connections

NOTICE

If a 100% rated breaker is used, 90 °C wire must be used for L1, L2, and L3

with the wire size determined by the 75 °C ampacity tables. Aluminum wire is

not allowed with 100% rated breakers.

NOTICE

When using a circuit breaker with an adjustable, electronic trip unit, the

amperage and trip curve settings may need adjustment to match the

generator set load wiring, or downstream loads and circuit breakers. An

accessory seal kit (part number A026M166) is available to tamper-proof the

adjustable settings.

For grounding and neutral connections, look for the following symbols on the

generator set circuit breaker cabinets.
