c. Repeat steps a and b for the other Battery Hold Down Rod. Figure 3-6 Battery Installation Washers & Nut The + and . terminals of your battery may be different than shown. Be sure that the Positive lead is connected to the positive (+) terminal of your battery. Washers & Nut Battery (Install away from terminals) Battery Hold Down Bar Battery Hold Down Rod Battery Tray 6. Connect the positive lead to the positive (+) battery terminal. 7. Connect the negative lead to the negative (.) battery terminal. 8. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. 9. Connect charging source to the battery terminals. 10. Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance. 3-8 Receiving & Installation MN2417 Recommended Engine Oil and Battery Type When replacing batteries, use only the recommended battery for your generator, see Table 3-5.

These checks are not required before each start, only after the initial installation. 1. Generators that have been in transit or storage for long periods may be subjected to extreme temperature and moisture changes. This can cause excessive condensation, and the generator windings should be thoroughly dried before bringing the generator up to full nameplate voltage. If this precaution is not taken, serious damage to the generator can result. Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings (do not start the generator) in a moisture.saturated condition. Moisture can cause insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the generator to the factory for repair, and consequent expense and loss of time. Note: These precautions are especially necessary in locations such as seaboard installations and other high humidity areas. Some installations will be in atmospheres that are much more corrosive than others. Prevention of a failure is better than being forced to make a repair. 2. Verify that the transfer switch is in Utility Power mode. No power must be present at the generator or transfer switch connections. Verify with a voltmeter. 3. Verify that the engine starting battery is disconnected so accidental starting is not possible. 4. Verify generator is securely mounted and anchored to cement pad (skid mount only). 5. Verify that proper clearance exists on all sides and top of enclosure. 6. Verify no debris (buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc.) is present. 7. Assure generator is a safe distance from any flammable or combustible material. 8. Verify that the three phase generator power (L1, L2, L3 and N) are properly connected to the transfer switch. 9. Verify that the generator and transfer switch load are voltage compatible. 10. Verify that no load is connected to the circuit breaker and/or transfer switch. 11. Inspect the engine and generator and verify that there are no loose wires or components. Tighten if necessary. 12. Verify that the ground conductor is of correct wire size and properly connected. 13. Verify engine oil level is full. Refer to engine manual if necessary. 14. Verify engine coolant level is full. Refer to engine manual if necessary. 15. Verify exhaust system to assure it is in properly connected and pointing away from occupied living space, air entry routes (doors, windows, vents etc.) and combustible materials. MN2417 Receiving & Installation 3-9 Post Installation Checks Continued 16. Place the voltage output selector switch in the appropriate position. 17. Verify all loads are disconnected. 18. Verify the Master Control is in the “Stop” position. Connect the engine starting battery to the starter. Verify it is installed correctly. 19. Verify the fuel source is available. 20. Remove all tools, rags, etc. from inside the generator enclosure. Close all enclosure doors and be sure no hands are inside the generator enclosure when it starts. 21. Start the generator. 22. The engine should begin to crank and start when the fuel moves to the engine. If the engine fails to start, refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting. 23. With the engine running, several checks must be made: a. Ve...
