1.11 Accessories

Have accessories installed by an authorized distributor/
dealer or a licensed electrician. Follow the installation
instructions provided with each kit. Use separate conduit
for AC and DC leads to reduce the possibility of electrical
interference. Verify that the leads and conduit do not
interfere with the operation of the generator set or
obstruct the service areas. Verify that the electrical
installation complies with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and all applicable local codes. See Section 2,
Wiring Diagrams, for more information regarding
generator set electrical connections.

The regulator heater requires a source of 120 VAC
power. The generator set is equipped with two 120 VAC
receptacles, one of which is used for the battery charger.
If another accessory such as the carburetor heater or
battery heater is also used, the installer will need to
provide another receptacle for the regulator heater. The
circuit should be ground fault protected.
To install the regulator heater kit, follow the instructions
in TT-1569, provided with the kit. Figure 1-25 shows the
