Generac Power Systems Air-cooled Industrial Mobile Generator 09843-2 - Manual (Page 8)

Generac IM-72LP Industrial Mobile Generator
NOTE: Refer to THE GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM on page 4. Individual installations will differ. If an
overload occurs, the dual breaker will open the hot stator
leads (11 and 44). When the generator has been connected
for 120 volts only, either of the dual circuit breakers will open
stator AC output leads No. 11 and No. 33.

OPTIONAL REMOTE
START/STOP PANEL
A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel is available, which allows
you to start and stop the generator engine conveniently from
inside the vehicle.
BEFORE STARTINC THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION IN THIS
MANUAL ASSUME THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN PROP­
ERLY INSTALLED, CONNECTED, SERVICED, TESTED AND
ADJUSTED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN
OF INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR.
■ INSTALLATION___________ ____
Generator installation must have been properly completed so
it complies with all applicable codes, standards and regula­
tions and with the manufacturer's recommendations.
■ ENGINE LUBRiCATIQN__________________
Have engine crankcase properly serviced with recommended
oil before starting. Refer to "Maintenance" and "Specifica­
tions" sections for oil servicing procedures and
recommendations.
CAUTION: Any attempt to crank or start the
engine before you have properly serviced it with
the recommended oil may result in engine failure.
FUEL SUPPLY
The engine must have adequate supply of proper fuel to oper­
ate. Before starting, check that sufficient fuel is available.
■ COOLING AND VENTILATING AIR
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator compartment
must be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation.
Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine-
generator quickly overheats, which causes it to quickly shutdown.
Overheating could also damage the unit or your vehicle.
m ENGINE EXHAUST GAS
Before starting the generator engine, you should be sure there
is no way for exhaust gases to enter the vehicle interior and
endangering people or animals. Close windows, doors and
other openings in the vehicle that, if open, might permit exhaust
gases to enter the vehicle.
DANGER: THE GENERATOR ENGINE GIVES OFF
DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE GAS THROUGH ITS
EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS DANGEROUS GAS, IF
BREATHED IN SUFFICIENT CONCENTRATIONS,
CAN CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS OR EVEN
DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR IF
ITS EXHAUST SYSTEM IS LEAKING OR HAS BEEN
DAMAGED. SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING ARE (A) INABILITY TO THINK COHER­
ENTLY, (B) VOMITING, (C) TWITCHING MUSCLES,
(D) THROBBING TEMPLES, (E) DIZZINESS, (F)
HEADACHE, (G) WEAKNESS AND SLEEPINESS. IF
YOU FEEL ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, MOVE
INTO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY. IF SYMPTOMS
PERSIST, GET MEDICAL HELP.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
To start the generator from either the generator control panel
or from the optional Remote Panel, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF electrical loads, using whatever means provided
in your vehicle (such as a main line circuit breaker or trans­
fer switch.
NOTE: If starting from the generator panel, turn OFF loads
by setting the generators main circuit breaker to “OFP or
“OPEN”. If starting from a Remote Panel, turn OFF loads using
whatever means is provided in the vehicle (such as a main cir­
cuit breaker).
