24mm socket and an 18mm socket to fit torque wrench
Hardware included: (1) 16mm nut, (2) Washers, (2) Safety Chains
1. Remove hardware box from generator.
2. Open box and remove the bag containing hardware, safety chains and assembly
instructions.
3. Using the jack, raise the front of the unit so that the end of the drawbar is
approximately 1 inch above the ground.
4. While holding the drawbar, carefully remove the temporary retaining bolt that holds
the drawbar to the top of the enclosure (See Fig. 1).
5. Carefully lower drawbar to the Level Position.
6. Install the bolt (that was removed in Step 4) with the washers and nut from the
included hardware to secure the end of the drawbar underneath the unit and torque to
166 ft-lbs (226 Nm). Also torque the drawbar pivot bolt to 166 ft-lbs. (226 Nm). See
Figure 2).
7. Install safety chains by first removing the longest bolt used to attach the hitch then
insert the last link of one chain onto the bolt. Slide one spa cer back on the bo lt and pu t
the assembly back into the hitch. Slide the other spacer onto th e bolt, th en the last link
of the other safety chain washer. Tighten the nut to 67 ft-lbs (91 Nm).

DANGER
This machine is not designed for operating life-sustaining equipment. It
is equipped with a safety shutdown system that will cause the machine to
stop operating whenever a shutdown condition is present.
!
DANGER
Never operate the engine of this machine inside a building without
adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing exhaust fumes when working on
on near the machine.
!
WARNING
A battery contains sulfuric acid and can give off gases which are
corrosive and potentially explosive. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothing. In case of contact, flush area immediately with water.
!

CAUTION
Exercise extreme caution when using booster battery. To jump battery,
connect ends of one booster cable to the positive (+) terminal of each
battery. Connect one end of other cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
bosster battery and other end to a ground connection away from dead
battery (to avoid a spark occurring near any explosive gases that may be
present). After starting unit, always disconnect cables in reverse order.
!
WARNING
Never inspect or service unit without first disconnecting battery cable(s)
to prevent accidental starting.
Wear eye protection while cleaning unit with compressed air, to prevent
debris from injuring eyes.
!
WARNING
HOT PRESSURIZED FLUID - Remove cap slowly to relieve PRESSURE
from HOT radiator. Protect skin and eyes. HOT water or steam and
chemical additives can cause serious personal injury.

WARNING
Flammable Fuels - Do not fill tank when engine is running.
Do not smoke or use an open flame in the vicinity of the generator set or
fuel tank.
Do not permit smoking, open flame, or sparks to occur near the battery,
fuel, cleaning solvents or other flammable substances and explosive
gases.
Do not operate Genset if fuel has been spilled inside or near the unit.
!
WARNING
Electrical Shock -
Do not operate electrical equipment while standing in water, on wet
ground or with wet hands or shoes.
Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. Battery
voltage (12V/24V DC) is present unless the battery cables have been
disconnected. Higher voltage (potentially 480V) is possibly present at all
times.
Always treat electrical circuits as if they were energized.
Disable Start Control before attempting any repair service, disconnect all
leads to electrical power requirements and disconnect battery to prevent
start up.
GROUNDING
!
WARNING
Depending upon your application, it may be MANDATORY to ground this unit to earth or to
NOT ground this unit to earth. Comply with local electrical codes and Operation Manual.
1622637300
SafetyOperation & Maintenance Manual
!
WARNING
The Generator Set can produce high voltages, which can cause severe
injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment. The Generator Set
should have proper internal and external ground when required by the
National Electric Code.
The Generator Set is internally grounded neutral to the frame of the
Generator Set. This internal ground connection is essential for proper
Generator Set performance and personal protection.
External grounding consists of connecting the generator neutral to a
solid earth ground, and is the responsibility of the operator, when
grounding is required by National Electrical Code, Article 250, and other
local codes as applicable. Several methods are employed to externally
ground portable generator sets, depending on the intended use and code
requirements. In all cases, a continuous length of splice-free copper
cable, no smaller than AWG#8, shall be used for the external ground
conductor, when grounding is required.
A qualified, licensed electrical contractor, knowledgeable in local codes,
should be consulted.
The Generator Set has two main applications:
(1) If the Generator Set is supplying electrical power to portable equipment, the vehicle frame
shall NOT be grounded to earth per National Electrical Code, Article 250-34(b). All other
provisions of the Article shall be complied with.
(2) If the Generator Set is connected to a temporary or fixed distribution system (such as a
building), grounding of the vehicle frame is required at the service entrance to the building, per
National Electrical Code, Article 250-20 (b).
If the Generator Set is supplying power to more than one temporary or fixed wiring system, a
separate ground cable must be connected from the generator neutral to each distribution
systems ground as detailed above.
!
WARNING
Failure to properly ground the Generator Set can result in severe injury
or death.
IF USED AS ALTERNATE POWER SUPPLY
Connect only after the main service entrance switch has been DISCONNECTED and
LOCKED OPEN. In addition, circuit overload protection must be provided in accord ance with
National Electrical Codes and local regulations.
