Power Systems, Inc. • For that this equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by a Generac Authorized Service Dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator also must comply with all such codes, standards and regula- tions.
Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris. • Generac generator sets may operate using one of sev- eral types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAM- MABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care.
If, however, load voltage requires 120/208 volts, 3-phase output, generator will require reconnecting of the sta- tor’s output leads. This task should only be performed by a qualified Generac service technician. Refer to the installation manual (Part No. 079699) for details.
3600 Rotor Excitation System Type of Stator Rotor/Stator Insulation ® Generac Power Systems, Inc. OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN: The CMA circuit board on liquid cooled units receives AC frequency (rpm) signals directly from the stator AC power windings, via sensing leads S15 and S16. Should AC frequency exceed about 72 Hz, circuit board action will automatically shutdown the engine (Figure 8).
The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and rat- ing. Generac normally uses an AGC fuse rated at 30 amps. UNPACKING UNPACKING PRECAUTIONS: Handle shipping cartons and crates with care.
“emer- gency” distribution panel. This generator can be installed in conjunction with a standard Generac “GTS” type transfer switch, if desired. The standard transfer switch has no sensing or con- trolling circuit boards. Instead, the generator control console houses a “Control Module Assembly”, which...
Connecting this generator to an electrical system normally supplied by an electric utility shall be by means of a transfer switch (such as the Generac “GTS” type transfer switch), so as to isolate the electric system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electric system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
TRANSFER SWITCH START SIGNAL CONNECTIONS If your generator is to be installed with an automatic transfer switch, such as a Generac GTS-type switch, it will be necessary to connect the two-wire start control system. Connect the two-wire start signal from the automatic transfer switch to the automatic start connection, which is located in the right hand corner inside the control panel.
(For additional information, see the applicable transfer switch manual for this unit.) The transfer switch, as well as the generator and other standby components, must be properly located and mounted in strict compli- ance with applicable codes, standards and regulations. ® Generac Power Systems, Inc. 11...
USING A STANDARD “GTS” TRANSFER SWITCH When required, the pre-packaged standby generator can be installed with a standard Generac “GTS” type automatic transfer switch. When you use a standard GTS type transfer switch, it controls automatic operation and automatic transfer as follows: •...
MANUAL TRANSFER AND START UP To transfer electrical loads to the “Standby” (generator) power source side and start the engine manually, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your particular transfer switch. ® Generac Power Systems, Inc. 13 • Overcrank • Overspeed...
Figure 9 - “Set Exercise” Switch ENGINE HEATER Your Generac standby generator comes equipped with a block heater (Figure 10), similar to the block heaters used in automotive applications. Figure 10 - Engine Block Heater Refer to applicable wiring diagram(s) and electrical schematic(s) at back of manual for wiring connections.
Coolant should be at bottom of radiator filler neck. If coolant level is low, inspect gasket in radiator pressure cap. Replace cap, if necessary. To have pressure cap tested, contact an authorized Generac Service Facility. Inspect cooling system and coolant recovery system for leaks. ® Generac Power Systems, Inc.
3/4 inch. Adjust belt tension as required. INSPECT ENGINE GOVERNOR Visually inspect electronic governor. ® 16 Generac Power Systems, Inc. DANGER: Do not attempt to adjust the gover- nor. Only qualified service facilities should adjust the governor. Excessively high operating speeds are dangerous and increase the risk of personal injury.
