•National electric code requires

generator to be properly grounded to

an approved earth ground. Call an

electrician for local grounding

requirements.

,_ DANGER

•When usinggenerator for backup

power, notify utility company. Use

approved transfer equipment to isolate

generator from electric utility.

•Use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) in any damp or highly

conductive area, such as metal decking

or steel work.

•Do not touch bare wires or

receptacles.

• Do not use generator with electrical

cords which are worn, frayed, bare or

otherwise damaged.

•Do not handle generator or electrical

cords while standing in water, while

barefoot, or while hands or feet are

wet.

•Do not allow unqualified persons or

children to operate or service

_WARNING

•This generator does not meet U.S.

Coast Guard Regulation 33CFR-183 and

should not be used on marine

applications.

• Failureto use the appropriate U.S.

Coast Guard approved generator could

result in bodily injuryand/or property

damage.

•Do not attempt to modify the _/f

I_ unit or use it for any application

it was not designed for. If you

have any questions about your

generator's application, ask your

dealer or consult the factory.

Read these procedures carefully

and become familiar with your

generator set. Know its

applications, its limitations and

any hazards involved.

Never handle any kind of

electrical cord or device while

standing in water, while

barefoot, or while hands or feet

are wet.

•Do not use worn, bare, frayed

or otherwise damaged electrical

cord sets with any generator

set. Using a defective cord may

result in an electrical shock or

damage to the test equipment

and/or the unit.

These units require an adequate

flow of cooling air for their

continued proper operation.

Never operate or service any

unit while inside any enclosure

where the free flow of cooling

air into and out of the unit

might be obstructed. Without

sufficient cooling airflow, the

units quickly overheat, damaging

the generator and/or nearby

property.

Home Standby generators

produce a high voltage that can

cause an extremely dangerous

electrical shock. Avoid contact

with bare wires, terminals, etc.

Never permit an untrained

person to service or assist with

the procedures discussed in this

guide.

Never start or stop a unit with

electrical loads connected to

receptacles and with the

connected loads turned ON.

Start the engine and let it

stabilize before connecting any

electrical loads. Turn OFF and

disconnect all electrical loads

before shutting down any

generator.

• The manufacturer could not

IILLJII possibly anticipate every

circumstance that might involve

a hazard. For that reason,

warnings in manuals and

warnings on tags or decals

affixed to the units are not all-

inclusive. Do not handle,

operate or service a unit with a

procedure or method not

specifically recommended by the

manufacturer.

ACCESSTO THEGENERATOR

The Home Generator System is equipped with an enclosure

that has four access doors (Figure I). The doors are named

for the significant component located behind them. Starting

with the side that has the fuel connection and proceeding

clockwise, the doors are named:

OIL SERVICE DOOR

AIR INTAKE DOOR

CONTROL PANEL DOOR

BATTERY DOOR

Each Home Generator System is equipped with three

identical keys. These keys fit the locks that secure the oil

service and control panel doors.

To remove an access door:

•Insert a key into the lock of the access door you wish

to remove and turn one quarter turn clockwise.

NOTE: The key is retained in the lock when the

locks are open.

• Grasp the door's lift handle and pull the door upwards

until the security pins are free of the lower base.

• With the security pins free, pull the lift handle outward

(away) from the unit while pulling the door down and

out of the upper door channel. The door will come

free of the generator enclosure.

The AIR INTAKE DOOR does not have locks or lift

handles. You must remove a locking screw found directly

above the center of the door. They are removed in the

same way the locking doors are removed. To secure these

access doors, replace the locking screws.

WARNING

To install an access door:

• Support the door by grasping the lift handle or louver.

Guide the top of the door into the generator

enclosure.

•Lift the door up into its upper channel until the security

pins clear the sill of the enclosure.

• Push the lower half of the door into the door recess

until it is flush with the sides.

• Seat the door by pushing it down until the rubber

coated security pins engage and the door rests on the

mounting sill.

• When installing a Iockable door, turn the key one

quarter turn counterclockwise and remove the key.
