voltmeter, it can be checked with a portable meter.

Frequency can be checked by using an electric clock with

a sweep second hand. Timed against a wrist watch or a

stop watch the clock should be correct within +/- 2

seconds.

CONNECTING THE LOADS

Applying The Load

Allow the engine to warm up for two or three minutes

before applying any load. This will allow the engine to

reach normal operating temperature and oil to circulate

throughout the engine. A short warm-up time will permit

the engine to work more efficiently when the load is

applied and will reduce the wear in the engine, extending

its life.

Receptacles have been provided to allow loads to be

connected to the generator. The loads should be added

one at a time. If a large motor is being started or multiple

motors are being started, they should be started

individually and the largest should be started first.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD

Keep the generator load within the generator and

receptacle nameplate rating. Overloading may cause

damage to the generator and/or the loads .

Most electric tools and appliances will have the voltage

and amperage requirements on their individual

nameplates. When in doubt consult the manufacturer or a

local electrician. The nameplate amperage rating for

electric motors can be misleading. See “Starting Electric

Motors” in Unit Capabilities (page 3).

These engine generator sets are inherently self regulating

based on engine speed. The engine governor will

automatically adjust itself to the load. No harm to the

generator will result if it is operated with no load

connected.

Proper utilization of the receptacles located on the control

panel is necessary to prevent damage to either the

receptacles or the generator. The generator is a limited

source of electrical power, therefore pay special attention

to the receptacle and generator ratings. The nameplate

rating can be obtained through a single receptacle as long

as the receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded.

Grounding

All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4 or 1" copper pipe

or rod into the ground close to the engine-generator set.

The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Connect an

approved ground clamp, to the pipe. Run a no. 10 Awg

wire from clamp to the generator ground lug on the

“receptacle panel”. Do not connect to a water pipe or to a

ground used by a radio system.

The engine-generators covered in this manual were

designed for portable use. DO NOT OPERATE INDOORS.

The unit should be stored in a warm dry location. Move

the unit outdoors to a flat dry location for use.

WIRING

Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump pump

and other items to be powered directly into the generator

receptacles. Before plugging in all the tools and cord sets,

recheck the rating of the generator set. Be sure it can

handle the intended load and is compatible with the

voltage, phase, and current ratings.

‘Hard Wiring’ this unit directly into a temporary

construction site electrical system is NOT A SIMPLE DO-

IT-YOURSELF JOB. For your safety all wiring must be

done by a qualified electrician and conform to the National

Electric Code and comply with all state and local codes

and regulations. Check with local authorities before

proceeding.

WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER

A fully isolated, double pole double throw manual

transfer switch must be installed any time a generator is

being connected to an existing distribution system.

1. These engine generator sets are designed for

portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles are

provided on the control panel to permit 120 and 240

volt portable appliances and tools to be plugged

directly into them. Please note that the 3 wire 240 volt

receptacle(s) on these units are designed to power

only 240 volt tools. There is 2 hots and a ground wire,

but no neutral connection, in the 3 wire 240 volt

receptacle. A 4 wire receptacle (2 hot, 1 ground, and

1 neutral) has been provided on the control panel for

use in temporay power applications requiring 120/

240 volt power. Consult a licensed electrician for

wiring the TemPower plug and connecting it as

temporary service.

To connect these units directly to an un-powered,

isolated construction site TemPower panel, have your

electrician connect to the control panel using a 120/

240 volt, four wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P). The use

of locking receptacles and locking plugs provides the

convenience of quick disconnect, for moving, while

allowing non electrical workers to safely reconnect the

power. In addition they prevent the plug from being

accidentally removed by bumping or vibration.

2. If the generator set is be connected to existing

distribution system a fully isolated manual transfer

switch must be installed. The transfer switch

prevents damage to the generator and other circuit

components if main line power is restored while the

generator is connected. Installing a transfer switch

also permits the use of normal fusing.

3. Many homes and construction sites are wired for at

least 60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much greater

than the capacity of these portable generators. When

installing the generator at these sites, a secondary

emergency distribution panel may have to be

installed, such as the Emergency Transfer/Service
