Section 3: Operation

Site Prep Verification

It is important that the generator is installed in such a way
that the airflow into and out of the generator is not
impeded. Verify that all shrubs or tall grasses have been
removed within 3 ft (0.91 m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure. It is also important
that the generator is not subject to water intrusion. Verify
that all potential sources such as water sprinklers, roof
run-off, rain gutter down spouts and sump pump
discharges are directed away from the generator
enclosure.
WARNING
Risk of fire. Keep air inlet and exhaust areas
free from leaves, grass, snow and other debris.
Failure to do so could result in death, serious injury,
property, and equipment damage.
DANGER
Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and
render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
Turn the generator OFF before performing maintenance.
Remove 7.5 Amp fuse, T1 battery charge fuse from the
transfer switch, and disconnect battery cables to prevent
accidental start up. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (–) cable
first, then disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable. When
connecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first,
the NEGATIVE cable last.
WARNING
Equipment damage. Only qualified service personnel may
install, operate, and maintain this equipment. Failure to follow
proper installation requirements could result in death, serious
injury, and equipment or property damage.
