This is a dual rate charger with a higher output than
the two amp for more demanding applications. This
charger features both a DC ammeter and a voltmeter
on the front panel.

STANDBY GENERATOR INSTALLATION
DANGER
Connecting this generator to an electrical sys-
tem 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 utili-
ty distribution system when the generator is
operating. Failure to isolate the electric sys-
tem 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.
Only qualified, competent installation contractors or
electricians thoroughly familiar with applicable
codes, standards and regulations should install this
standby electric power system. The installation must
comply strictly with all codes, standards and regula-
tions pertaining to the installation.
This genset must be installed on a level surface. The
base frame must be level within two inches all
around.
After the system has been installed, do nothing
!
that might render the installation in noncompli-
ance with such codes, standards and regula-
tions.
