GENERATOR OUTPUT CONNECTION LUGS
The generator is equipped with connection lugs, located behind the lug box door next to the customer convenience
outlets. The lugs provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the
inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages.
WARNING
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that only a trained and licensed electrician perform any
wiring and related connections to the generator. Installation should be in compliance
with the National Electric Code (NEC) as well as any local or state guidelines as required
by law. Failure to follow proper installation requirements may result in equipment or
property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
Before any connections are made to the generator, make sure that the main circuit
breaker and the engine start switch are in the “OFF/O” position and that the negative
(-) battery cable is disconnected. Potentially lethal voltages may be present at the
generator connection lugs.
IMPROPER OR INCORRECT CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAN CAUSE POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES TO BACKFEED INTO UTILITY LINES.
THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR ELECTROCUTION TO UTILITY WORKERS NEARBY.
MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR IS SUPPLING POWER TO AN ISOLATED OBJECT OR
BUILDING THAT IS NOT CONNECTED TO ANY UTILITY LINES.
Connections to the lugs should be made by running the power cables up through the
slots in the plastic cable guide at the base of the lug box. DO NOT make any
connections directly to the lugs. The lug box door is equipped with a safety interlock
switch that will automatically trip the main circuit breaker and disable the voltage
regulator when the lug door is opened. Use a hex-wrench to tighten the cable
connections.
WARNING
Never attempt to disable or modify the lug door safety
switches. Equipment damage, personal injury or death
may result.
A ground connection is located next to the connection lugs. The unit MUST be
connected to a good earthen ground for proper operating safety. The generator neutral
is bonded to ground when it is shipped from the factory. The bonding plate will need
to be removed when the generator is used as a standby power source. INSTALLA-
TION SHOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (NEC),
AS WELL AS ANY STATE AND LOCAL CODES OR REGULATIONS.
