A. C. MODULAR GENERATOR SYSTEM

WARNING:
 
Do not mount the hydraulic pump or tray assembly in any location that is not well 
ventilated. External heat sources elevating the hydraulic fluid and/or the generator 
temperature will result in premature wear and degraded system performance and 
void the system’s warranty.

The tray assembly must be mounted in a position that is higher than the pump. If 
the pump inlet hose is 10’ in length or less, the tray and reservoir assemblies must 
be a minimum of 12” higher than the pump. If the pump inlet hose is longer than 
10’, elevate the tray and reservoir assemblies an additional 12” for every additional 
10’ of pump inlet hose length. See below for examples of minimum tray assembly 
elevations above the pump:

Locate a position to mount the SPS Command & Control Center. The ideal location 
for the Command & Control Center will be in an area that is easily seen and 
accessed by the generator operator. When the generator system is in use, the 
Command & Control Center will continuously show the status of the generator, 
including faults (warnings) if they occur. The Command & Control Center can also 
be used to engage and disengage the generator. The Command & Control Center 
is water sealed, and operates on low voltages so pump house mounting is 
permissible. A 15 ft. water sealed harness is provided to connect the Command & 
Control Center to the system controller mounted within the generator tray assembly. 
See Figure 5 for the dimensions of the Command & Control Center.
