INSTALLATION
General Information
*************
***** WARNING ****
*************
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be
sure the operation selector switch is in the "stop" position.
These engine generator sets are available as an unhoused, skid
mounted unit for indoor installation or a skid mounted unit with a
standard or accoustical housing for outdoor installation. All
versions of these units must be bolted solidly to a concrete pad.
The transfer switch is mounted next to your distribution panel
inside the building. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or
contractor to install and wire the transfer switch. The installation
must comply with all national, state, and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units must be mounted on a
solid concrete pad to prevent air from exiting under the unit.
Allowing air to exit under the unit may cause the unit to overheat
from lack of proper air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the rating of
the generator set and it’s transfer switch rating. Be certain they
can handle the intended load and are compatible with the
entrance voltage, phase and current ratings. Plans for installation
should be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and
electrical engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system
installation. The information in this manual is offered only as a
guide to finalizing your installation plans. For full service
switching the A.T.S. should have a fusible disconnect (circuit
breaker) installed before the switch to protect the contacts.

ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS:
Refer to engine operating and maintenance instructions
** NOTICE **
Regarding Engines - This manual covers the generator portion
of these units. See the separate engine instruction manual for
engine-related problems, detailed engine information and
engine warranty.
** CAUTION **
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Be sure to check the engine oil level
frequently as specified in the engine manual.
The engine manufacturer has established an excellent world-wide
engine service organization; engine service is available from a
nearby authorized dealer or distributor; check the Yellow Pages
of the telephone directory under “engines,” or ask the dealer from
whom you purchased the power plant.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by the
temperature, altitude and all other ambient conditions specified
by the engine manufacturer. Engine power will decrease 3-1/2%
for each 1000 ft. above sea level, and will decrease an additional
1% for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60 degrees Fahren-
heit.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
** NOTICE **
When unpacking the generator set, be sure to inspect it carefully
for freight loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted at the time
of delivery, require that the person making the delivery make
note of the loss or damage on the freight bill, or affix his signature
under the consigner’s memo of the loss or damage. Contact the
