DANGER Only qualified electricians or contractors shouldattempt such installations, which must complystrictly with applicable codes, standards andregulations.1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTIONAfter unpacking, carefully inspect the contentsfor damage.• This standby generator set has been factory sup-plied with a weather protective enclosure that isintended for outdoor installation only. If this generator is used to power electrical loadcircuits normally powered by a utility powersource, it is required by code to install a trans-fer switch. The transfer switch must effectivelyisolate the electrical system from the utilitydistribution system when the generator is oper-ating (NEC 700, 701 and 702). Failure to isolatean electrical system by such means will result indamage to the generator and also may result ininjury or death to utility power workers due tobackfeed of electrical energy.If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, havethe person(s) making the delivery note all damage onthe freight bill or affix his or her signature under theconsignor's memo of loss or damage.If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separatethe damaged materials and contact the carrier forclaim procedures.“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damageto the contents of a package that is not in evidence atthe time of delivery, but is discovered later.1.2 LOCATIONTo lift the generator, insert pipe having sufficientstrength and diameter through the lifting holes whichare located near the unit’s base (see Figure 1.1). Theunit may also be lifted by using a hook and hoistmethod provided a spreader bar is used to ensurethe lifting lines clear the roof panel.DANGER When lifting or hoisting equipment is used, becareful not to contact overhead power lines. The generator’s weight of more than 300pounds requires proper tools, equipment andqualified personnel to be used in all phases ofhandling and unpacking.1.3 PROTECTION SYSTEMSUnlike an automobile engine, the generator may haveto run for long periods of time with no operator pres-ent to monitor engine conditions. For that reason, theengine is equipped with the following systems thatprotect it against potentially damaging conditions:1. Low Oil Pressure Sensor 3. Overcrank2. High Temperature Sensor 4. OverspeedThere are LED readouts on the control panel to indi-cate that one of these faults has occurred. There isalso a “System Set” LED that is described below.1.4 SYSTEM SET LEDThe “System Set” LED is lit when all of the followingconditions are true:1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to theAUTO position.2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit isbeing sensed by the Control PCB. If the utilitysense voltage is not connected to the unit or if itis below 168 volts AC, then the system set lightwill flash rapidly. This indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is placed in the Auto posi-tion , the generator will start.3. The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFFposition on the control board.4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pres-sure, high temperature, etc.Section 1 — General Information15 kW Generator4
