UNPACKING THE SYSTEM
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
THIS UNIT HAS BEEN SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL.
Failure to maintain the engine oil at the proper level will
result in serious engine damage.
When you unpack your new ENGINE GENERATOR
be sure to remove all the information sheets and
manuals from the carton.
1. This power plant was in good order when shipped.
Inspect the power plant promptly after receiving it. If
damage is noted, notify the transportation company
immediately; request proper procedures for filing a
“concealed damage” claim. Title to the equipment and
responsibility for filing a claim rests with you when a
generator is sent F.O.B. shipping point. Only you can
legally file a claim.
2. Before proceeding with the preparation of your new
engine generator set for operation, take a couple of
minutes to insure that the unit you have received is the
correct model and review the specification pages in this
manual to insure that this unit fits your job
requirements.
3. After removing the engine generator from the
carton locate and remove the shipping strap attached
to the generator shock mount. See attached tag for
removal instructions.
UNIT PREPARATION
Before your engine generator was shipped from our
factory it was fully checked for performance. The
generator was load tested to its full capacity, and the
voltage and frequency were carefully checked and
adjusted.
Lubrication
Before starting the engine, fill the crankcase to the
proper level with a good quality oil. The recommended
grade of oil and quantity of oil required is listed in the
engine operator's manual. The necessity of using the
correct oil, and keeping the crankcase full cannot be
overemphasized. Engine failures resulting from
inadequate or improper lubricant are considered abuse
and are not covered by the generator or the engine
manufacturer's warranty.
The engine electric start function is handled by the key
start on the engine control panel. For LP or NG opera-
tion, a 12 volt fuel solenoid has been installed on the set,
with a 120 volt control relay. The control relay is wired
across the generator output and is used as a safety to
shut the vapor fuel off in case the engine should stop for
any reason. To start on vapor fuel, the bypass button on
the outside of the control relay box must be depressed.
Depressing the bypass engages the 12 volt fuel solenoid
until the generator can build output voltage. This powers
the 120 volt relay, closing the relay contacts to provide
12 volts to the fuel solenoid. A customer supplied 235
CCA (BCI Group U1) battery is required to operate the
unit electric start system.
EMERGENCY TRANSFER SERVICE
The Emergency Transfer Service kit includes a UL
Approved Square 'D' manual power isolation switch.
When properly installed it will safely disconnect the
normal power service from your home emergency
electrical circuits and reconnect them to a portable
generator. It is not designed to transfer your whole
electrical system, only selected circuits you need
powered during a power failure (i.e. furnace, refrigerator,
freezer and minimal lighting). This system is comprised
of three major parts. The manual transfer center, exterior
'J' (junction) box for connections and cord storage and
the 12' four wire cord set with the plug installed.
The manual transfer center is built around two 60 amp
backfeed Square "D" circuit breakers with a mechanical
interlock bar installed. Manual transfer center also has
additional space for the customer to install two 240 volt
breakers, or one 240 volt and two 120 volt breakers or
four 120 volt breakers. The load center uses standard
Square D circuit breakers type QO and Q1. The 120 volt
breakers may be replace with type QO-T circuit breakers,
providing up to eight 120 volt circuits.
Before beginning the installation process it is very
important to plan which circuits you want to move from
your main circuit breaker panel into the manual emer-
gency transfer panel. That way you can purchase only
the breakers you need and will have room for everything
when you are completed.
BATTERY TENDER
A two-stage battery tender is provided with this system.
This battery tender charges at a rate of 750 mA until the
battery is fully charged and then automatically switches
to a 13.2 VDC float charger. The charger has an
indicator light on it, red indicates it is charging, and green
indicates it is in the storage mode (float charge).
WHEEL KIT & COVER
The Wheel Kit is shipped loose and comes with it's
own set of instructions. This wheel kit will allow greater
mobility with the generator as well as making it easier to
move inside for storage. Do not leave the generator
stored outside without protection. The cover will protect
the generator, but must must be romved from the unit
during operation
