Generac Power Systems 9344-2 - Manual (Page 6)

GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­
tured 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 questions pertaining to its
application, write or call the factory. Do not use the
unit until you have been advised by a competent
authority.
DANGER: For fire safety, the generator must have
been properly installed in compliance with (1)
ANS1119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1994 “Standard for
Recreational Vehicles”, Part III, “Installation of
Electrical Systems.” The generator also must have
been installed in strict compliance with the manu­
facturer’s detailed installation instructions. After
installation, do nothing that might render the unit
in non-compliance with such codes, standards and
instructions.
A
You can use this generator to supply electrical power
for operating 120/240 volts, single phase, 60 Hertz,
AC electrical loads requiring up to 7,500 watts (7.5
kW) of power. Those electrical loads cannot exceed
62.5 AC amperes of current at 120 volts, or 31.2 AC
amperes at 240 volts.
CAUTION: Do not overload the generator. Some
installations may require that electrical loads be
alternated to avoid overloading. Applying 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
capacity 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 assuming
that
competent, qualified technicians installed the
generators into recreational vehicles. We also
assume 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
instructions and recommendations for installing the
unit into a recreational vehicle. Following installation,
installers should forward the Installation Manual to
Owner/Operators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make
sure that nothing is done that might render installation
unsafe or so it will not comply with applicable codes,
standards and instructions.
SAFETY
Before attempting to use the generator set, carefully
read GENERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover of
this Manual. Comply strictly with these RULES to
prevent accidents and damage to equipment and/or
property. Generac suggests that copying and posting
GENERAL SAFETY RULES in potential hazard areas
of the vehicle. Stress safety to ail operators and
potential operators of this equipment.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION SYSTEM
The generator is equipped with a 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. Note,
however, the neutral is grounded.
The generator has been installed so that units power
120/240 volts AC loads (Figure 1); or you can rewire
them to connect only 120 volts AC electrical loads.
Be sure to add jumper wire between circuit breakers
(C.B. in Figure 2) when connecting for 120 volts.
