7. If already connected, disconnect the battery in the generator.
Remove the negative (-) cable first, followed by the positive
(+) cable. Take care not to short the cables together.
8. Ensure power is applied to the battery charger input. Connect
a volt meter across the battery leads. The voltage reading
should be between 12.8VDC and 13.8VDC.
9. If the voltage is within range installation of the battery charger
is complete. If the voltage is not within range verify all wiring
and sizing and retest.
10. Re-connect the battery cables. Positive cable first followed by
the negative cable.

EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

1. Drill a 1 ¾ inch hole and feed the conduit through the hole.
2. Remove the knockout in the back of the connection box (if
used), feed the wires through the back of the box and secure
the conduit with the lock nut.
Seal the hole with silicone caulk. Don't forget to caulk the hole
inside the house as well.
3. Mount the connection box (if used) so that it completely covers the
hole in the wall. Caulk around the sides and top of the box to ensure
a good seal.

NOTE:
Connect all wires to the lugs in the connection box (black to black,
red to red and white to white). Attach the green ground wire to
the ground screw and connect the two small plugs to their mating
receptacle ends.
4. Replace the protective cover plate and retaining screw, and
lock the connection box.
5. For 10-20 kW models, locate the metal hasp that is packaged
in the owner's manual bag. Insert the hasp in the slot located
on the left side of the external circuit breaker box. Be sure that
the clip of the hasp is facing toward the front of the generator.
If desired, lock the external box.
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS – TRANSFER
SWITCH
1. If the Load Center transfer switch was purchased separately
from the generator it will need to be connected to the
generator. To complete the wiring, run power leads and
control wires from the transfer switch to the generator.
2. Remove the two screws securing the connection area cover,
and remove the cover.
