Operation 4-5
MN2417
Trailer Setup See Figure 4-1 for component identification. Carefully read all instructions before starting.
1. Locate a suitable, level location. Also be sure there are no overhead wires or
obstructions.
The trailer is balanced so the majority of the weight rests on the tow bar (Jack).
If on a minor incline, the safest way to position the tailer is to have the tow bar facing
down the incline (front of the trailer lower than the rear of the trailer).
2. Install tire chocks if used. These prevent the trailer from moving when parked.
3. Disconnect the safety chains and the trailer light connector from the tow vehicle.
4. Pull the pin on the front jack and rotate the jack 90 degrees to the vertical position.
Lock the jack in the vertical position using the pin to secure it.
5. Move the Coupler Handle to the vertical position to release the ball hitch.
OR
Release the Pintle hook.
6. Use the jack to raise the trailer coupler from the ball hitch of the tow vehicle.
7. The tow vehicle can now be moved away from the trailer.
8. Use the jack to level the trailer for operation.
Voltage Selection
WARNING: High voltage is present whenever the engine is running. Electrical shock can cause serious
or fatal injury. Always stop engine before connecting or disconnecting power cords or
external devices.
WARNING: High voltage is present whenever engine is running. Electrical shock can cause serious or
fatal injury. Never operate electrical equipment while standing in water, on wet ground or with
wet hands, feet or shoes or while barefoot.

1. Ensure the generator is off.
2. Place voltage select switch in the correct position 208/120, 240/120 or 480/277VAC.
Refer to Table 4-2 for voltages available in each position. To ensure the switch position
is not accidently changed, it should be padlocked as shown in Figure 4-3.

Insert padlock through the hole in the handle.
This activates an internal mechanism that
prevents handle rotation.
3. Carefully inspect all Individual load cables for broken insulation or other signs of
damage. Never use a damaged cable. Replace it before usage.
4. L1, L2, L3, Neutral and Ground cables must be brought into load block compartment
through access hole in base of enclosure.
5. Ensure that wires are properly connected and connections are secure.
6. Use disconnect at the load to turn off the load. Do not start engine with load switched
“on”. Allow engine to come up to speed and warm up before load is switched on.
Note: When the generator is running, opening load block door will cause load disconnect to trip.
7. Observe the output voltage indicator and set the Voltage Adjust (Figure 4-5) for proper
voltage.
8. If left unattended, lock all doors to prevent tampering or injury.
