GENERATOR FAMILIARIZATION
GENERATOR APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac­
tured for supplying electrical power for Industrial mobile
vehicles. You should not modify the generator or use it
for any application other than for what it was designed.
If there are questions pertaining to its application, write
or call the factory. Do not use the unit until you have
been advised by a competent authority.
DANGER; FOR FIRE SAFETY, THE GENERATOR
MUST HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED IN COM­
PLIANCE WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS. THE GEN­
ERATOR ALSO MUST HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN
STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE MANUFACTUR­
ER’S DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
AFTER INSTALLATION, DO NOTHING THAT MIGHT
RENDER THE UNIT IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH
SUCH CODES, STANDARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
A
You can use this generator to supply electrical power
for operating 120/240 volts, single phase, 60 Hertz, a-c
electrical loads requiring the following:
Industrial Power Amps at Amps at
Generator (wattage) 120 Volts 240 Volts
IM-52 5200 43.3 21.6
IM-66 6600 55 27.5
IM-72 7200 60 30
CAUTION: Do not overload the generator. Some
installations may require that electrical loads be
alternated to avoid overloading. Applying exces­
sively high electrical loads may damage the genera­
tor and may shorten its life. Add up the rated watts
of all electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor
loads the generator will power at one time. This
total should not be greater than the wattage capaci­
ty of the generator. If an electrical device nameplate
gives only volts and amps, multiply volts times
amps to obtain watts (volts x amps = watts). Some
electric motors require more watts of power (or
amps of current) for starting than for continuous
operation.
INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the
assumption
that a competent, qualified technician
installed the generator into an industrial vehicle. We
also assume the installer complied with all applicable
codes, standards and regulations pertaining to installa­
tion.
Owners/Operators should make sure nothing is done
during installation that might render the unit unsafe or
in
noncompliance with,applicable codes, standards
and instructions. They should be sure the unit has
been installed to allow adequate ventilation for cooling
and exhaust air.
SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read GENER­
AL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply with
these RULES to prevent accidents and damage to
equipment and/or property. Generac suggests copying
and posting the GENERAL SAFETY RULES in poten­
tial hazard areas of the generator. Safety should be
stressed to all operators of this equipment.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
This generator set is equipped with dual Stator a-c
power windings. These two stator windings supply
electrical power to customer electrical loads by means
of a dual 2-wire connection system. Note, however,
that neutral is grounded.
The generator may have been installed so that units
power 120/240 volts AC loads (Figure 1); or you can
wire them to connect only 120 volts AC electrical loads
(Figure 2). Be sure to install jumper wire between the
circuit breakers (C.B. in Figure 2) when reconnecting
for 120 volts.
