The PTO shaft must be attached to 2.
the tractor (not included) and the
Generator. The ends of the PTO shaft
slide into the Generator Gearbox, and
the tractor PTO drive.
3. WaRninG! The PTO shaft must
fit properly into the PTO drive. Do not
attempt to use this generator if the
PTO shaft does not fit properly. Se-
vere injury or property damage may
result if the Drive shaft comes loose
during operation.
4. When installing the PTO shaft, en-
sure that it is aligned as (seen from
above) with both the Generator and
the tractor. Also keep the vertical
difference of the Generator and
tractor as small as possible to mini-
mize the angle of the Drive shaft
U-joints.
note: Aligning the shafts minimizes tor-
sional forces which tend to topple the
Generator. Minimizing vertical angles
reduces friction, heat and wear on the
U-joints of the PTO shaft.
Attach the generator to the tractor us- 5.
ing all 3 connection points and appro-
priate hardware (not included). The
connection method must prevent the
generator from twisting during opera-
tion.
The Generator must be on a solid,
6.
level surface that is capable of sup-
porting its weight and the forces ap-
plied during use.
Check the Gearbox oil level (see
7.
maintenance section of this manual).
Before operating the Generator, it
8.
must be grounded. Grounding Ter-
minals are provided on the Control
Panel and on the Rear Vent panel of
the Generator. Use #6 AWG copper
wire or larger to connect to an earth-
driven copper or brass grounding rod.
Do not operate the Generator without
grounding.
