INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency or 1.
portable power systems. Investigate the local building and electrical codes before
installing this unit.
Prior to providing Generator power to tools and equipment, make sure the Gen-2.
erator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity is adequate to supply all
electrical loads the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity,
it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools/equipment for connection to
a separate Generator.
General Location:
It is recommended to locate the Generator (outdoors only) where cooling air is 1.
readily available. Locate the Generator so that the air inlets and outlets are not
blocked by obstructions such as bushes, trees, or snow drifts. Locating it in the path
of heavy winds or snowdrifts may require the placement of a barrier for protection.
The air inlet (on Air Filter Cover 18a), in normal weather conditions, should face
the prevailing wind direction.
Locate the Generator on a concrete slab or other area where rain drainage or ood 2.
waters can not reach it.
Generator placement should allow four feet of access to all sides for maintenance 3.
and for proper air cooling.
Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment be-4.
ing powered to reduce the length of extension cords.
