TRAILER MOUNTING
Mount the generator on a trailer if you plan to use it as a
portable power source. See Figure 1. When selecting or
building a trailer to mount the generator, consider the
following points:
A. The trailer construction must be strong enough to
support the generator.
B. The design of the trailer must enable the trailer to
remain stable during operation, and to resist tipping
caused by generator
starting and reflected load
torque.
WARNING: Personal
Injury & Equipment
Damage
TRAILER MAY TIP OVER
AND CAUSE INJURIES
IF WHEELS ARE NOT
SPACED FAR ENOUGH
APART.
C. The trailer height and
mounting position of the
generator on the trailer
should enable aligning the
drive shaft (tumbling bar) in a straight or nearly straight
line between the power take-off and generator input
shafts. Misalignment must be less than 10 degrees
during generator operation, even though the mechanical
design of the tumbling bar would allow greater misalign-
ment.
D. The generator mounting area of the trailer bed should
be flat.
All four generator mounting pads must rest firmly on the
trailer bed. Install shims if necessary to even out the bed
under the mounting pads, then bolt the generator firmly in
place.
Assembly
The only assembly work required after unpacking the
generator is to assemble and wire the load disconnect
plug, which is packed in the generator carton.
WARNING: Personal Injury
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE WIRING
IMPORTANT: Use copper wire only. Do not use tinned
conductors. Sizing cable - see NEC 400-5.
CORD SIZE: #4/4 conductor cord SO, 1.25 inch dia. max.
To assemble and wire the load disconnect plug, proceed
as follows:
1.
Strip outer jacket 2-3/4”.
2. Cut and strip leads to lengths specified for the
particular plug.
3.
Disassemble cable clamp and top cover.
4. Remove one blade at a time, insert the stripped end
of the appropriate colored wire designated above,
and tighten the set screw.
5.
Fit blades through slots in bottom cover and push
down until home. Please note: Make sure blades
are in correct slots and oriented in accordance with
the diagram above or you will not be able to close
the top cover fully.
6.
Place top plastic cover over assembly and partially
tighten the bakalite assembly screw. Realign
blades straight (so they fit into the top bakelite
housing properly) and tighten the assembly screw.
7.
Assemble cable clamp over the outer jacket of the
wire and tighten the two clamp screws.
Special Note: For small size round (less than 3/4”) and
flat cables, the wire clamp may be inverted.
WARNING: Failure to wire as instructed may cause
personal injury or damage to device or equipment.
To be installed or checked by an electrician or
qualified person only.
OPERATING THE ALTERNATOR
WARNING: Personal Injury
When working on or around these generators, do not
wear loose fitting clothing or any articles that may
get caught in moving parts.
A properly rated and installed double throw manual
power isolation transfer switch must be used with a
standby generator. The transfer switch isolates the load
from the power line and allows you to safely operate your
loads without endangering the power line repair crew.
