A. C. MODULAR GENERATOR SYSTEM

WARNING:
Do not install or operate the A.C. modular generator system without reading this entire
manual.
The A.C. modular generator system will generate enough voltage to produce a fatal
electrical shock. Do not perform any wiring installations or modifications while the system
is operating. Never touch any live connections while the system is operating. Never
operate the system with the generator wiring enclosure open. Install and secure cover
before operating.
The installation of the Smart Power
®
A.C. modular generator system is to be done in
accordance with applicable sections in the National Fire Protection Association’s
document NFPA 1901, National Electrical Code
®
, and/or other applicable, recognized
electrical codes and by a certified electrician.
Never directly expose the generator to any liquids, especially water, oil, or solvents.
Electrical shock, fire and/or damage to the generator can occur and will void the system’s
warranty.
Smart Power hydraulic generators, as well as all generators, must be sufficiently protected
from the environment to prevent damage to the stator. Smart Power stators go through a
very important double-dip coating process prior to generator assembly, however, exposure
to direct water sprays can cause the stator to electrically short. Generator damage and
electrical shock can occur.
Caution should be taken during truck pressure washing, since water damage to the
generator can occur if directly sprayed with high water pressure. Though Smart Power
generators are enclosed as much as possible, direct spray through the cooler, fan or open
lid can still cause such damage.
Excessive road spray/salt can also cause an electrical short of the stator in the generator
and can also shorten the generator’s operating life. To prevent this type of damage, do not
mount the system where it will be exposed to road spray.
Evidence of water damage, road spray/salt infiltration, and improper mounting will void the
generator warranty.
Avoid physical contact with any of the components of the A.C. modular generator system
during its operation or immediately after its use. The components of this system will get
hot enough to cause burns and could ignite combustible materials.
Do not mount or locate anything inside of the framework. System overheating could result
and void the system’s warranty.
