CAUTION
ALL 115 VOLT LOADS MUST BE DIVIDED UP AND CONNECTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT
CURRENT FLOWING IN ANY OF THE THREE LEGS (G1, G4, G2/G3) DOES NOT EXCEED
THE LOWEST AMPERAGE RATING ON THE GENERATOR'S DATA PLATE.
The generator data plate gives the voltage, amperage and hertz
rating of the generator. The generator set wir ing decal located on
the cover of the generator mounted control panel shows the electrical
connections for 115 or 230 volt AC
output~
This is a single phase,
4 lead wi th vol tage com-
binations of 115 volt, two
wire, or 115/230 volt, three
wire.
All 115 volt devices must
be connected to one of the two
115 volt sources and all 230
volt devices must be connected
to the 230 volt source.
For all 115 volt loads,
half of the generator's rated
capacity may be taken from
leads Gl and G2/G3 and half
from G4 and G2/G3.
230 Volt loads are con-
nected to Gl and G4 at full
generator rated capacity.
