A. C. MODULAR GENERATOR SYSTEM

Use caution when tightening the hose ends to prevent the hose from becoming
twisted.
Never install a 90° fitting at the pump outlet or inlet.
Never use an inlet line fitting less than 1”.
Never install a hose tightly between connections. Leave length for the hoses to
expand.
Do not form loops in the hose that may collect air or cause kinking. Run hose as
straight as possible (but not taut) between connections.
To keep debris out of hoses while being positioned, cover the ends.
Do not bundle installed hoses tightly together with banding. Hoses must have
freedom to expand.
Do not operate the system with external stresses applied to the hydraulic hoses.
The A.C. modular hydraulic system generates hydraulic pressure approaching 3500
psi. A ruptured hose may result, causing personal injury or damage to the system.
Do not put any substance into the reservoir other than clean, fresh Dexron III
hydraulic fluid. Doing so will void the system’s warranty.

Connect the vehicle’s breaker panel to the generator output. The generator is pre-
wired to supply 120/240 VAC, with the generator frame bonded to ground. Route
the generator output conduit/wiring to the breaker panel, and carefully cut the
conduit to length without cutting the wire insulation. A conduit connector has been
provided to connect the conduit to the breaker panel. Connect the (4) four
generator output wires to the breaker panel as follows (see Figure 2 for electrical
schematic and wiring diagram):
Phase A: Black wire (120 VAC)
Phase B: Red wire (120 VAC)
Neutral: White wire
Ground: Green wire
To completely utilize the generator’s output capabilities, the 120 VAC loads must be
equally divided between the generator’s two main windings. Before wiring the
vehicle, calculate the wattage of each 120 VAC load that will be connected to the
generator. Next, create two groups of loads based on total wattage (add the
individual wattage of each load together). Exchange loads between the two groups
until the total wattage of the two groups is as close as possible to being equal. Wire
the system with one group connected to Phase A (BLACK) and neutral, with the
other group connected to Phase B (RED) and neutral.
