Section 3: Operation
Site Prep Verification
The generator must be installed so that airflow into and out
of the generator is not impeded. Verify that all shrubs or tall
grasses within 3 ft (0.91 m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure have been removed.
Install the generator on high ground where water levels will
not rise and endanger it. This unit should not operate in or
be subjected to standing water. Verify that all potential
water sources such as water sprinklers, roof run-off, rain
gutter downspouts, and sump pump discharges are
directed away from the generator enclosure.
Generator Enclosure
See Figure 3-1. The lid will be locked. A set of keys is
taped to the cardboard on top of the generator on the
intake side.
1. Remove the tape to remove the keys
.
2. Use th
e keys to open the lid of the generator.
The enclosed keys provided with this unit are intended
for service personnel use only.

side (A). Open the protective rubber cap to access the
keyhole, and press down on the lid above the side lock
and unlock the latch to properly open the lid.
Repeat for the other side. The lid may appear stuck if
pressure is not applied from the top.
Always verify that the side locks are unlocked before
attempting to lift the lid.
Removing the Front Access Panel
Remove the front access panel by lifting it straight up and
out once the lid is open.
Always lift the front access panel straight up before
pulling it away from the enclosure (B and C). Do not pull
the panel away from the enclosure before lifting up (D).
Intake Side Panel Removal

removed to access the battery compartment, fuel
regulator, and sediment trap.
1. Raise the lid and remove the front pa
nel.
2. Use
an Allen wrench to remove two mounting
screws (B) and the L-bracket screw (C).

generator.
NOTE: Always lift the intake side panel straight up
before pulling away from enclosure. Do not pull the panel

Main Line Circuit Breaker (Generator
Disconnect)
This is a 3-pole breaker rated according to relevant
specifications. See (A) in Figure 3-2.
The breaker can be locked in the OFF (OPEN) position
for security. Use an appropriately-sized padlock (not
included) with a shackle long enough to pass through
both lock tabs (B).
NOTE: DO NOT lock out the MLCB during normal
generator operation. Doing so will compromise automatic
standby functionality.
