TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Your first step in testing the Emergency panel will
be to close the circuit breaker in the main panel
feeding the Emergency panel. Check your voltage in
the emergency panel to insure you have the correct
voltage in all locations. Then close the utility circuit
breaker in the emergency panel.
2. Close your load breakers and make sure every-
thing that you have wired to the Emergency panel is
working properly on utility power.
3. Start the engine generator set and plug the power
cord into the generator. Check your voltages at the
bottom lugs on the generator circuit breaker (left 60
amp breaker).
4. If the voltages are correct shut the utility breaker
off and move the generator breaker to the on posi-
tion. The generator should now be powering your
connected loads. Monitor the voltage coming from
the generator and make sure that it stays at the
proper level.
5. If the voltage from the generator should drop too
far, turn the generator side breaker off. This will
remove the load from the generator. At this point you
are going to have to determine why the voltage
dropped. Either you have it overloaded (over 22.9
amps per leg on LP or 20 amps on NG) or the engine
is not getting enough fuel to carry the load.
6. After correcting the problem, retest the system
starting at step 3.
7. If everything tests ok, you can turn the generator
breaker off and turn the utility breaker back on. This
is how the system is left until you need the generator.
CONNECTING THE LOADS
Applying The Load
Allow the engine to warm up for two or three minutes
before applying any load. This will allow the engine to
reach normal operating temperature and oil to circulate
throughout the engine. A short warm-up time will permit
the engine to work more efficiently when the load is applied
and will reduce the wear in the engine, extending its life.
Receptacles have been provided to allow loads to be
connected to the generator. The loads should be added
one at a time. If a large motor is being started or multiple
motors are being started, they should be started
individually and the largest should be started first.
Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump pump
and other items to be powered directly into the generator
receptacles. Before plugging in all the tools and cord sets,
recheck the rating of the generator set. Be sure it can
handle the intended load and is compatible with the
voltage, phase, and current ratings.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD
Keep the generator load within the generator and receptacle
nameplate rating. Overloading may cause damage to the
generator and/or the loads .
Most electric tools and appliances will have the voltage
and amperage requirements on their individual nameplates.
When in doubt consult the manufacturer or a local
electrician. The nameplate amperage rating for electric
motors can be misleading, because of higher starting
current.
These engine generator sets are inherently self regulating
based on engine speed. The engine governor will
automatically adjust itself to the load. No harm to the
generator will result if it is operated with no load connected.
Proper utilization of the receptacles located on the control
panel is necessary to prevent damage to either the
receptacles or the generator. The generator is a limited
source of electrical power, therefore pay special attention
to the receptacle and generator ratings.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Caution must be used when loading the generator, over-
loading either of the 120 volt sides will cause the breaker to
trip disconnecting all the loads
