GENERATOR APPLICABILITY

These generators have been designed and manufac-
tured for supplying electrical power for recreational
vehicles. DO NOT modify the generator or use it for
any application other than for what it was designed.
If there are any questions pertaining to its applica-
tion, write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until
advised by competent authority.
DANGER

For fire safety, the generator must have been
properly installed in compliance with ANSI
119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, "Standard for
Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of
Electrical Systems." The generator also must
have been installed in strict compliance with the
manufacturer's detailed installation instructions.
After installation, do nothing that might render
the unit in noncompliance with such codes, stan-
dards and instructions.
Use the generator set to supply electrical power for
operating one of the following electrical loads:
• QUIETPACT 55G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads
can require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of total
power, but cannot exceed 45.8 AC amperes of cur-
rent at 120 volts or exceed 22.9 AC amperes at 240
volts.
• QUIETPACT 65G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin-
gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can
require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of total power,
but cannot exceed 54.1 AC amperes of current at
120 volts or exceed 27 AC amperes at 240 volts.
• QUIETPACT 75G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads
can require up to 7500 watts (7.5 kW) of total
power, but cannot exceed 62.5 AC amperes of cur-
rent at 120 volts or exceed 31.2 AC amperes at 240
volts.

Do not overload the generator. Some installa-
tions may require that electrical loads be alter-
nated to avoid overloading. Applying exces-
sively high electrical loads may damage the
generator and may shorten its life. Add up the
rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance,
tool and motor loads the generator will power
at one time. This total should not be greater
than the wattage capacity of the generator. If an
electrical device nameplate gives only volts and
amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts
(volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors
require more watts of power (or amps of cur-
rent) for starting than for continuous operation.

INSTALLATION

This Owner's Manual has been prepared under the
assumption that a competent, qualified technician
installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We
also assume the installer complied with all applicable
codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal-
lation.
An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the
generator. That Manual contains manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations for installing
the unit into an industrial vehicle. After installation,
installers should forward the Installation Manual to
Owners/Operators for their information.
Owners/Operators have the responsibility to make
sure that nothing is done that might render the instal-
lation unsafe or in non-compliance with applicable
codes, standards and instructions.
1.4

SAFETY

Before using the generator set, carefully read
GENERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply
with these RULES to prevent accidents and damage
to equipment and/or property. The manufacturer
suggests copying and posting the GENERAL SAFETY
RULES to potential operators of this equipment.
1.5 GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with
dual stator AC power windings. These two stator
windings supply electrical power to customer elec-
trical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection
system.
Generators may be installed to provide the following
outputs:
1. 120 VAC loads only — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator's
rated power output (in watts), and 120V across
the generator output terminals. Figure 1.1 shows
the generator lead wire connections for 120VAC
ONLY.
2. 120/240 VAC loads — one load with a maximum
total wattage requirement equal to the generator's
rated power output, and 240V across the genera-
tor output terminals; or two seperate loads, each
with a maximum total wattage requirement equal
to half of the generator's rated power output (in
watts), and 120V across the generator output ter-
minals. Figure 1.2, shows the generator lead wire
connections for 120/240 VAC loads. Also refer to
section 2.1.4 Line Breakers for circuit breaker
ratings.
This procedure should be done by an Authorized
Service Dealer or other qualified installer.
