Installation

Note: Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the

generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity

(two120V-25AMPs outlets/one 240V-12.5AMPs outlet) 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.

WARNING! THE GENERATOR WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 107

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.

If the generator in located indoors the engine exhaust must be ventilated

to the outdoors using leak-proof, heat resistant flexible metal, flex

tubing.
