DANGER
WARNING
Grounding electrical equipment. Hazardous voltage will cause severe injury or death. Electrocution is possible whenever
electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all applicable codes and standards. Electrically ground the generator set, transfer
switch, and related equipment and electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all power sources before servicing the
equipment. Never contact electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet ground because these conditions
increase the risk of electrocution.
Short circuits. Hazardous voltage/current will cause severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury and/or
equipment damage. Do not contact electrical connections with tools or jewelry while making adjustments or repairs. Remove all
jewelry before servicing the equipment.
Before installing the generator set, provide for electrical connections through conduit to the transfer switch and other accessories
for the generator set. Route DC leads in separate conduit from AC conductors. Carefully install the selected generator set
accessories. Route wiring to the generator set through flexible connections. Comply with all applicable codes when installing a
wiring system.
See the dimension drawings in the Diagrams and Drawings section for the recommended stub-up location.
AC circuit protection. All AC circuits must include circuit breaker or fuse protection. The circuit breaker must be rated for a
maximum of 125% of the rated generator set output current. The circuit breaker must open all ungrounded connectors.
The generator set is equipped with a factory-installed circuit breaker.
