General Information
THE BATTERY
~
A
Do not dispose of the battery In a fire. The
tAbattery Is capable of exploding.
/r\
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock
illand high short circuit current. The following
precautions are to be observed when work-
ing on batteries:
• Remove the 10A and 15A fuses from the gen-
erator control panel.
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;
• Use tools with Insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the
battery; and
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting
or disconnecting battery terminals.

WARNING!1
Jt..
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
.... electrolyte has been known to be harmful to
the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
A
The electrolyte Is a dilute sulfuric acid that Is
.... harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically
conductive and corrosive.
The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash It off
Immediately with water;
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush
thoroughly and Immediately with water and
seek medical attention; and
• Spilled electrolyte Is to be washed down with
an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice
Is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams)
bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of
water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to
be added until the evidence of reaction (foam-
ing) has ceased. The resulting liquid Is to be
flushed with water and the area dried.
&.
lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire
Lmbecause they generate hydrogen gas. The
following procedures are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery;
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area;
and
• Discharge static electricity from body before
touching the battery by first touching a ground-
ed metal surface.
A
Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set
.... to the OFF position before connecting the
battery cables. If the switch is set to AUTO
or MANUAL, the generator can crank and
start as soon as the battery cables are con-
nected.

A
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off
tAand the 10A and 15A fuses are removed from
the generator control panel, or sparking may
occur at the battery posts as the cables are
attached and cause an explosion.
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or supervised by per-
sonnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
A negative ground system is used. Battery connections are shown
on the wiring diagrams. Make sure the battery is correctly con-
nected and terminals are tight. Observe battery polarity when con-
necting the battery to the generator set.
GENERATOR AC LEAD
CONNECTIONS
See "Voltage Codes". This generator may be rated at anyone of
several voltages, either single-phase or three-phase. The electrical
wires in the unit's AG connection (lower) panel should be installed
according to the number of leads and the voltage/phase required
for the application. If there is any question regarding lead connec-
tion, refer to Figures 1.4 through 1.9.
Voltage codes apply to the type of stator assembly installed on a
particular generator.
fOUR-LEAD, SINGLE-PHASE STATOR
Four-lead generators are dual voltage coils or windings (Figure
1.5). Units may be assigned any of the following voltage codes:
• "{:>:.'
units are rated 120/240 VAG, single-phase, 60 Hertz.
• "M" units are rated 110/220 VAG, single-phase, 50 Hertz.
Each stator winding in this case delivers a 110 VAG or 120 VAG
output; connecting the two windings series results in a 220 VAG
or 240 VAC output.
The neutral line is formed by a junction of stator leads 22 and
33. Therefore, connection of 120 VAG (60 Hertz) or 110 VAC (50
Hertz) loads across leads 11 and neutral, or across leads 44 and
neutral can be made.
