Section 3: Operation

Site Prep Verification

It is important that the generator is installed in such a way
that the airflow into and out of the generator is not
impeded. Verify that all shrubs or tall grasses have been
removed within 3 ft. (0.91m) of the intake and discharge
louvers on the sides of the enclosure. It is also important
that the generator is not subject to water intrusion. Verify
that all potential sources such as water sprinklers, roof
run-off, rain gutter down spouts and sump pump dis-
charges are directed away from the generator enclosure.
DANGER
Automatic start-up. Disconnect utility power and
render unit inoperable before working on unit.
Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
Turn the generator OFF before performing maintenance.
Remove 7.5 Amp fuse, T1 and T2 battery charge fuses,
and disconnect battery cables to prevent accidental start
up. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) cable first, then
disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable. When connecting
the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, the
NEGATIVE cable last.
