WARNING - PERSONAL INJURY
All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician, and
must conform to the national electrical code and comply
with all state and local codes and regulations. Check
with your local electrical inspectors before proceeding!
PREPARATION
Before doing any wiring you must decide which circuits
you want to back up. As discussed earlier you will have
a limited number of circuits that can be moved from your
primary distribution panel to the Emergency Load
Distribution Panel.
The primary thing to remember when you are selecting
your circuits is that the generator has a very limited
amperage capability. The PSS6H/E generator is limited
to 22.9 amp of output at 240 volts. What this means is
that your combined load on the generator cannot exceed
22.9 on either power feed from the generator.
Also take into account any electric motors that you are
going to operate. Motor loads have a very high amper-
age inrush when the motors first start up. If you don't
have sufficient generator capability with your other loads
running, the motor will stall and possibly do damage to
the motor or other connected loads.

The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the
factory so that the generator produces the proper
voltage and frequency. For normal usage, the speed
setting should not be changed. If the generator is
being run continuously on a very light load, it is often
advisable to lower the operating speed slightly.
Whenever making any speed adjustments check the
unit with a voltmeter or a tachometer and be sure the
speed is correct.
Lower voltage may damage both the generator and
any load connected to it. Running the engine at
excessively high speeds results in high voltage, which
may significantly shorten the life of appliances being
used.
Output voltage should be checked periodically to
ensure continued proper operation of the generating
plant and appliances. The generator is not equipped
with a voltmeter, but it can be checked with a portable
meter. Frequency can be checked by using an electric
clock with a sweep second hand. Timed against a
wrist watch or a stop watch the clock should be correct
within +/- 2 seconds per minute.
