TLG-12SPX — PARTS AND OPERATION MANUAL (STD) — REV. #4 (03/08/05) — PAGE 35
Single Phase Load
Always be sure to check the nameplate on the generator
and equipment to insure the wattage, amperage and
frequency requirements are satisfactorily supplied by the
generator for operating the equipment.
Generally, the wattage listed on the nameplate of the
equipment is its rated output. Equipment may require 130—
150% more wattage than the rating on the nameplate, as
the wattage is influenced by the efficiency, power factor
and starting system of the equipment.
NOTE
If wattage is not given on the
equipment's name plate, approximate
wattage may be determined by
multiplying nameplate voltage by the
nameplate amperage.
WATTS = VOLTAGE x AMPERAGE

Battery Cable Installation
ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 16) are properly
connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The
RED
cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery,
and the BLACK cable is connected to the negative terminal
of the battery.
When connecting battery do the following:
1. Place a small amount of grease around both battery
terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will help
prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTION
:
Inadequate battery connections may cause
poor starting of the generator, and create
other malfunctions.
Wiring
Inspect the entire generator for bad or worn electrical wiring or
connections. If any wiring or connections are exposed (insulation
missing) replace wiring immediately.
Piping and Hose Connection
Inspect all piping, oil hose, and fuel hose connections for wear
and tightness. Tighten all hose clamps and check hoses for
leaks.
If any hose (fuel or oil) lines are defective replace them
immediately.
Figure 16. Battery Connections
If the battery cable is connected
incorrectly, electrical damage to the
generator will occur. Pay close attention
to the polarity of the battery when
connecting the battery.

:
Battery
This unit is of negative ground. DO NOT connect in reverse.
Always maintain battery fluid level between the specified
marks. Battery life will be shortened, if the fluid level is not
properly maintained. Add only distilled water when
replenishment is necessary.
The battery is sufficiently charged if the specific gravity of
the battery fluid is 1.28 (at 68° F). If the specific gravity
should fall to 1.245 or lower, it indicates that the battery is
dead and needs to be recharged or replaced.
Check to see whether the battery cables are loose. Poor
contact may result in poor starting or malfunctions. Always
keep the terminals firmly tightened. Coating the terminals
with a thin film of grease will help to inhibit corrosion.
