vided by the tractor manufacturer.

Permanent wiring or wiring into an7.

existing electrical service MUST be

done by a licensed electrician, and

MUST comply with all applicable

codes.

Don’t connect the generator directly•

to a building’s wiring. A portable

electric generator that is connected

directly to utility line can ‘back feed’

into the power lines. This lower volt-

age created by the generator can

be increased to thousands of volts

by line transformers. That unex-

pected voltage can injure or even

kill a utility lineman making outage

repairs many miles away. Hard

wiring can also cause expensive

damage to utility equipment and the

generator.

A hard wired generator must be•

installed by a licensed electrician

with a UL approved cut-off switch

that will automatically disconnect

the home from the power grid when

the generator is being used. Check

with the local utility company before

having a generator hard-wired to a

building.

Make sure the generator is properly8.

grounded to avoid electrical shocks.

Connect a 6 ga. or larger insulated

copper wire to the Ground Con-

nection on the Control Panel. Con-

nect this wire to a suitable external

ground, such as a metal stake in the

ground.

Don’t overload the generator. The9.

total wattage used by the devices

should be less than the output rating

of the generator. If you put too many

devices on the generator, it could

seriously damage them. Overload-

ing the generator can also cause

re. This generator is rated at 15,000

Watts. NOTE: At start-up, devices

draw more power in a surge than

they do during continuous operation.

When guring total wattage of all

devices connected to this generator,

use the higher start-up rating of each

device.

Do not exceed the current limit speci-10.

ed for any one receptacle. Refer to

the Specications chart for amperage

limits on each receptacle.

for the PTO shaft to turn at 540 RPM.

Do not operate the Generator at ex-

cessively high speeds.

Extension Cords

As the distance from the supply outlet1.

increases, you must use a heavier

gauge extension cord. Using exten-

sion cords with inadequately sized

wire causes a serious drop in voltage,

resulting in loss of power and pos-

sible tool damage. (See Table A.)

The smaller the gauge number of the2.

wire, the greater the capacity of the

cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord

can carry a higher current than a 16

gauge cord. (See Table A.)

When using more than one exten-3.

sion cord to make up the total length,

make sure each cord contains at

least the minimum wire size required.

(See Table A.)

If you are using one extension cord4.

for more than one tool, add the

nameplate amperes and use the sum

to determine the required minimum

cord size. (See Table A.)

If you are using an extension cord5.

outdoors, make sure it is marked with

the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to

indicate it is acceptable for outdoor

use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-6.

erly wired and in good electrical con-

dition. Always replace a damaged

extension cord or have it repaired by

a qualied electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from7.

subheadings therein before set

up or use of this product.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

STARTING:

Turn the Power Switch of the

equipment to its “OFF”

position, wait for the engine to

cool, and disable the engine

before assembling or making

any adjustments to the

equipment

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK:

A licensed electrician must do

all installation work, including

earth-ground connection.

Keep this generator and all

electrical wires, cords and

components dry.

Note: For additional information regarding

the parts listed in the following pages,

refer to the Assembly Diagram near

the end of this manual.

1. Attach the PTO (power Take-Off)

Shield to the Generator using the

supplied bolts and washers. Ad-

just and tighten securely, as shown

above.

SKU 65309 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 9

The PTO shaft must be attached to2.

the tractor (not included) and the

Generator. The ends of the PTO shaft

slide into the Generator Gearbox, and

the tractor PTO drive.

3. WARNING! The PTO shaft must

t properly into the PTO drive. Do not

attempt to use this generator if the

PTO shaft does not t properly. Se-

vere injury or property damage may

result if the Drive shaft comes loose

during operation.

4. When installing the PTO shaft, en-

sure that it is aligned as (seen from

above) with both the Generator and

the tractor. Also keep the vertical

difference of the Generator and

tractor as small as possible to mini-

mize the angle of the Drive shaft

U-joints.

Note: Aligning the shafts minimizes tor-

sional forces which tend to topple the

Generator. Minimizing vertical angles

reduces friction, heat and wear on the

U-joints of the PTO shaft.

Attach the generator to the tractor us-5.

ing all 3 connection points and appro-

priate hardware (not included). The

connection method must prevent the

generator from twisting during opera-

tion.

The Generator must be on a solid,6.

level surface that is capable of sup-

porting its weight and the forces ap-

plied during use.

Check the Gearbox oil level (see7.

maintenance section of this manual).

Before operating the Generator, it8.

must be grounded. Grounding Ter-

minals are provided on the Control

Panel and on the Rear Vent panel of

the Generator. Use #6 AWG copper

wire or larger to connect to an earth-

driven copper or brass grounding rod.
