DANGER
Only qualified electricians or contractors should
attempt such installations, which must comply
strictly with applicable codes, standards and
regulations.
1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents
for damage.
• This standby generator set has been factory sup-
plied with a weather protective enclosure that is
intended for outdoor installation only.
If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
source, it is required by code to install a transfer
switch. The transfer switch must effectively iso-
late the electrical system from the utility distri-
bution system when the generator is operating
(NEC 700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electri-
cal system by such means will result in damage
to the generator and also may result in injury or
death to utility power workers due to backfeed
of electrical energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have
the person(s) making the delivery note all damage
on the freight bill or affix their signature under the
consignor's memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate
the damaged materials and contact the carrier for
claim procedures.
“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage
to the contents of a package that is not in evidence at
the time of delivery, but is discovered later.
1.2 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Unlike an automobile engine, the generator may have
to run for long periods of time with no operator pres-
ent to monitor engine conditions. For that reason, the
engine is equipped with the following systems that
protect it against potentially damaging conditions:
1. Low Oil Pressure Sensor 4. Overspeed
2. High Temperature Sensor 5. Low Battery
3. Overcrank
There are LED readouts on the control panel to notify
the user that one of these faults has occurred. There
is also a “System Set” LED that is lit when all of the
conditions describe in Section 1.3 are true.
1.3 SYSTEM SET LED
The “System Set” LED is lit when all of the following
conditions are true:
1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the
AUTO position.
2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is
being sensed by the PCB. If the utility sense volt-
age is not connected to the unit or if it is below
168 volts AC, then the system set light will flash
rapidly. This indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/
MANUAL switch is placed in the Auto position ,
the generator will start.
3. The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFF
position on the control board.
4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pres-
sure, high temperature, etc.
1.4 ACCESSORY FEATURES
1.4.1 12 VOLT DC OUTLET
The generator is equipped with a 12 volt DC accesso-
ry outlet located in the system control panel (Figure
1.1). With the generator running or in standby mode,
this outlet may be used to temporarily power low
power accessories such as an inspection light, cell
phone, radio or other automotive style accessory with
a 7.5 amp maximum current draw.

The 12 volt DC accessory socket is not intended
for continuous use. Power for this socket is
drawn from the engine battery. Extended use
will drain the battery and the engine may not
start. Power available at this socket is limited to
7.5 amps maximum.
