Generac 9600-3 - Manual (Page 7)

GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
The NP-66G generator has been designed and manu­
factured for supplying electrical power for recreational
vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use it
for any application other than for what it was designed.
If there are any questions pertaining to its application,
write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until you
have been advised by competent authority.
A
DANGER: FOR RRE SAFETY, THE GENER
ATOR MUST HAVE BEEN PROPERLY IN
STALLED IN COMPUANCE WITH (1) ANS1119^
1975/NFPA 5010-1974 “STANDARD FOR REC
REATIONAL VEHICLES”, PART III, “INSTALLA
TION OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.” THE GENER
ATOR ALSO MUST HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN
STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE MANUFAC­
TURER’S DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUC­
TIONS.
AFTER installation , DO NOTHING
THAT MIGHT RENDER THE UNIT IN NON-COM­
PLIANCE WITH SUCH CODES, STANDARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS.
You can use your generator set to supply electrical
power for operating 120 and/or 240 volts, single phase,
60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can require up to
6600 watts (6.6 kW) of power, but cannot exceed 55 AC
amperes of current at 120 volts or exceed 27.5 AC
amperes at 240 volts.
CAUTION: Do not overload the generator. Some
installations may require that eiectrical ioads be
aiternated to avoid overloading. Appiying exces­
sively high electrical loads may damage the gener­
ator and may shorten Its life. Add up the rated watts
of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor
loads the generator will power at one time. This
total should not be greater than the wattage capac­
ity of the generator. If an electrical device nameplate
gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times
amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts). Some
electric motors require more watts of power (or
amps of current) for starting than for continuous
operation.
INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the
assumption that a competent, qualified technician in­
stalled the generator into an industrial vehicle. We also
assume the installer complied with all applicable codes,
standards and regulations pertaining to installation.
An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the
generator. That Manual contains manufacturer’s in­
structions and recommendations for installing the unit
into an industrial vehicle. After installation, installers
should forward the Installation Manual to Owners/Op-
erators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make sure
that nothing is done that might render the installation
unsafe or in non-compliance with applicable codes,
standards and instructions.
SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read GEN­
ERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with
these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to
equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copying
and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES to potential
operators of this equipment.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION SYSTEM
These air-cooled NP Series generator sets are
equipped with dual stator AC power windings. These
two stator windings supply electrical power to customer
electrical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection
system.
The generator may have been installed so that units
only power 120 volts AC loads (Figure 1); or you can
wire them to connect both 120 and/or 240 volts AC
electrical loads. Be sure to remove the jumper between
the circuit breakers when connecting for 120/240 volts.
