GENERATOR OUTPUT CONNECTION LUGS The generator is equipped with connection lugs, located behind the lug box door located on the lower portion of the control box. The lugs provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages.
GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTION(S) OPTION The generator may be equipped with cam lock connections, behind the door on the right side of the customer convenience outlets. These receptacles provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details the proper connections for selected voltages. WARNING It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that only a trained and licensed electrician perform any wiring and related connections to the generator.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH The voltage selector switch is located on a panel attached to the generator behind the door located next to the fuel tank filler. The selector switch is a three position switch that mechanically changes the connections between the generator output leads and the connection lugs on the main control panel.
4-POSITION VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH OPTION The optional four position voltage selector switch is located on a panel attached to the generator behind the door located next to the fuel tank filler. The voltage selector is a four position switch that mechanically changes the connections between the generator output leads and the connection lugs on the main control panel.
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH The generator is equipped with one “EMERGENCY STOP” switch, located on the right rear corner of the unit next to the control door. The switch is clearly labeled “EMERGENCY STOP” and is red. The switch can be accessed and activated with all doors closed and locked.
CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE OUTLETS The generator is equipped with five convenience outlets. The large outlets are 240/120VAC twist-lock receptacles rated at 50A each. The smaller outlets are 120VAC duplex receptacles rated at 20A each with ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) protection. These receptacles are not routed through the main circuit breaker. Each receptacle has its own circuit breaker, located directly above or next to the outlet.
TRANSFER SWITCH The generator neutral is bonded to ground when shipped from the factory. The bonding plate will need to be removed when the generator is used as a standby power source. Installation should be in compliance with National Electric Code (NEC), as well as any state and local codes or regulations.
AUTO EXERCISE TIMER Generators installed in a standby application should be exercised regularly to maintain operating condition and to ensure responsiveness in an emergency situation. The following procedure demonstrates how to run (exercise) the generator on a time schedule: 1. Press the “PAGE SELECT” button until “Password” appears at the top of the screen. 2.
• Verify that all circuit breakers are open (“OFF/O”). • Activate (push in) the “EMERGENCY STOP” switch. • Disconnect the negative (-) terminal on the battery. • Attach a “DO NOT START” sign to the control panel. This will notify everyone that the unit is being serviced and will reduce the chance of someone inadvertently trying to start the unit.
Replace primary air cleaner when dust valve restriction indicator gauge shows a vacuum of 25 in. H Change the oil and oil filter after the first 100 hours, then every 500 hours. If not using John Deere Plus 50 II engine oil, the interval must be decreased to every 250 hours.
TOWING THE TRAILER 1. Use the jack to raise or lower the trailer onto the hitch of the towing vehicle. Lock the hitch coupling and attach the safety chains or cables to the vehicle. Raise the jack foot completely. 2. Connect any trailer wiring to the tow vehicle. Check for proper operation of the stop and signal lights. 3.
