INTRODUCTION AND
DESCRIPTION
The package standby engine generator set includes all items
necessary for a completely automatic standby power system as
standard equipment. The entire package is then tested to insure
proper operation of all components and the total system performance and reliability.
DESCRIPTION
This package power system is designed to automatically provide
standby power to unattended loads during electrical outages.
Upon an interruption of normal electrical service this package
power system's electrical control circuits will automatically start
the engine. The generator will produce electrical power and the
Automatic Transfer Switch (A.T.S.) will automatically transfer the
electrical loads to the engine-generator set. Upon restoration of
normal electrical service the A.T.S. will sense return of the normal
commercial power and retransfer the load back to normal
commercial power source. The engine control circuits shut off the
run signal to the engine generator set.
These package power systems consist of two major components:
1) AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH (UL LISTED)
The Automatic Transfer Switches (A.T.S.) is a wall mount switch
designed for inside installation. A electronic exerciser circuit is
installed in the A.T.S. as standard equipment. The A.T.S. also
contains the power failure sensing circuitry necessary to send a
start/stop signal to the engine generator set. The following is a list
of recommended A.T.S. sizes for each model. Outside switches
as well as additional sizes are available, consult your sales rep
for additional information.

The engine manufacturer has established an excellent world-wide
engine service organization; engine service is available from a
nearby authorized dealer or distributor; check the Yellow Pages
of the telephone directory under “engines,” or ask the dealer from
whom you purchased the power plant.
The rated power of each engine-generator is limited by the
temperature, altitude and all other ambient conditions specified
by the engine manufacturer. Engine power will decrease 3-1/2%
for each 1000 ft. above sea level, and will decrease an additional
1% for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Units should not be operated in ambient temperature greater
than 400 C.
UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
** NOTICE **
When unpacking the generator set, be sure to inspect it carefully
for freight loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted at the time
of delivery, require that the person making the delivery make note
of the loss or damage on the freight bill, or affix his signature
under the consignees’s memo of the loss or damage. Contact
the carrier for claim procedures.
When loss or damage is noted after delivery, segregate the
damaged material, and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
General Information
These engine generator sets are for outdoor installation. These
units must be bolted solidly to a concrete pad. The transfer
switch is mounted next to your distribution panel inside the
building. Consult a qualified, licensed electrician or contractor to
install and wire the transfer switch. The installation must always
comply with all national, state, and local codes.
***** CAUTION ****
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units must be mounted on a
solid concrete pad to prevent air from exiting under the unit.
Allowing air to exit under the unit may cause the unit to overheat
from lack of proper air flow.
Before beginning the installation process recheck the rating of the
generator set and its transfer switch rating. Be certain they can
handle the intended load and are compatible with the entrance
voltage, phase and current ratings. Plans for installation should
be prepared with proper attention to mechanical and electrical
engineering detail to assure a satisfactory system installation.
The information in this manual is offered only as a guide to
finalizing your installation plans. For full service switching the
A.T.S. must have a fusible disconnect (circuit breaker) installed
before the switch to protect the contacts.
“Concealed Damage” is understood to mean damage to the
contents of a package which is not in evidence at the time of
delivery by the carrier, but which is discovered later. The carrier
or carriers are responsible for merchandise lost or damaged in
transit. The title to goods rests with the consignee when generators are shipped FOB factory, and only the consignee can legally
file a claim.
ENGINE GENERATOR SET MOUNTING
**** CAUTION ****
Do not shock mount the main frame. Engine vibration will be
transmitted to the control panel causing erroneous start/stop
cycles and premature control failure.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - These units are shipped with oil, and a
50/50 mix of coolant. Be sure to check all fluid levels before
operating. See engine manufacturer’s instruction manual for
recommended oil requirements before initial starting.
UNPACKING:
1. Carefully remove the carton.
2. After inspecting the engine-generator for external physical
damage, check for the following items packed inside the carton:
a. Owner’s manual and wiring diagram.
b. Engine manufacturer’s instruction manual.
3. Remove main frame hold down bolts, (6).
4. Unit can now be lifted from shipping rails.
The unit should be mounted to allow for ample working room
around it. A general rule to follow is five (5) feet clearance on all
sides. See NFPA Code 37 for additional clearance requirements.
FUEL INSTALLATION
The fuel supply should be as close as possible to the engine.
This will reduce the installation cost of fuel runs. The information
in this manual is offered to assist you in providing the proper fuel
for your engine. However, this information is only provided to
inform you of the engine’s requirements and assist in making you
aware of the decisions you must make. In no case should the
instructions or information provided be interpreted to conflict with
any local, state or national codes. If in doubt, always consult your
local fire marshal or gas supplier.
INSTALLATION
***************
***** WARNING ****
***************
PERSONAL INJURY - Before proceeding with the installation, be
sure the operation selector switch is in the "stop" position.
60706-187
The unit’s main frame should be bolted solidly to a 4 to 6 inch
thick cement pad. The engine-generator is mounted on a subframe which is attached with special shock mounts to the main
frame. This allows the engine-generator free movement without
affecting the control panel which is mounted on the main frame.
**************
***** WARNING ****
****************
FIRE HAZARD - All fuel runs should be installed by a licensed
fuel supplier.
Page 5
7263-00
Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid (see table
for recommended line size). The pressure at the secondary
demand regulator must be four to six ounces psi (per square
inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C. (Water column) for vapor withdrawal
units. On units equipped with liquid withdrawal fuel systems full
tank pressure is plumbed to the fuellock strainer mounted on the
generator rails. The fuel converter mounted on the unit will
handle both vaporization of the fuel and pressure reduction.
FUEL PRESSURE (vapor system)
Correct fuel pressure cannot be stressed enough. The most
common cause for inoperative systems is an inadequate or
incorrect fuel pressure. Performance of the engine is in direct
relation to the correctness of the fuel system. Shown below is a
block diagram of a typical L.P. or N.G. Installation.

Line Size (vapor system)
Unit location will determine the size of fuel line that is required to
supply the engine with a constant fuel pressure. Refer to the
tables below for fuel line size, fuel consumption and recommended tank size. For distances of 25 feet and over, a two
regulator fuel system is recommended. This is accomplished by
installing a primary regulator at the tank which will reduce the
tank pressure down to 10 to 15 lbs. A secondary regulator is
installed to further reduce the fuel pressure to the required six (6)
oz operating pressure. This secondary regulator must be at least
10 feet from the engine generator set. Any closer installation will
require a larger line be installed to provide a fuel reservoir. If this
is not done, the demand regulator on the unit and the pressure
regulator in the fuel line will interfere with each other. When this
two (2) stage regulator system is used, a fuel line size of 3/4 to 1
inch is generally adequate for distances up to 300 feet from the
primary to the secondary regulator. (Consult your local fuel
supplier for your exact requirements). The appropriate line size
from the table below is then installed from the secondary regulator to the generator set.
Reference number 4 is the engine generator set.

Notice the preceding tables give two (2) different units of measuring fuel pressure. The first is with a pressure gauge calibrated in
ounces per square inch. The second and most accurate is the
use of a simple water manometer. A manometer is calibrated in
inches of water column.
When installing or replacing batteries, use the proper group/size
starting battery. The battery should be a Maintenance Free lead
acid design. Deep cycle batteries will not work for this application.
CAUTION – PERSONAL DANGER
LP LIQUID WITHDRAWAL SYSTEMS
When installing a unit equipped the LP liquid withdrawal a
primary regulator is not required on the supply tank. The supply
line is connected to a liquid withdrawal valve on the supply tank
and runs directly to the fuellock strainer mounted on the engine
generator set. Normally a 3/8 inch copper line is acceptable for
this type of fuel installation. You must be sure that the valve you
have connected to on the supply tank is in fact a liquid supply
valve and has a drop tube inside the tank that is pulling fuel from
the bottom of the supply tank. Before starting the unit you must
confirm that you have a good liquid supply at the unit. Engine
generator sets equipped for liquid withdrawal will not run
properly when supplied with high pressure vapor fuel.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check the oil level in the crankcase. If
it is low, refill to the full mark with the proper weight/grade of oil as
recommended by the engine manufacturer’s maintenance
instructions. The necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping
the crankcase full cannot be over emphasized. Failure to use the
proper oil and keep the crankcase properly filled will cause
excessive engine wear and shorten its useful life.
COOLANT
Before starting the engine, check the coolant level in radiator. If it
is low, refill as specified in the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. The radiator should be filled to about 1 inch
below the filler neck. For additional information on engine coolant
requirements see engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
**** CAUTION ****
In the following battery installation procedure, check to be sure
the selector switch remains in the “stop” position. This should be
your last step before initial start-up.
A customer supplied twelve-volt battery is required to complete
the installation. Installation of the highest CCA rated battery,
within the correct BCI group, will increase cold weather starting
performance. Gel batteries should not be used with the battery
tender installed in the generator enclosure.

CAUTION - DO NOT open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte is known to be harmful to the skin and eyes and to be
very toxic.
These engine generator sets are all NEGATIVE ground. Be very
careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this may
short circuit the battery charging system on the engine.
CAUTION – A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and high
short circuit current. The following precautions must be observed
when working with batteries.
1. Remove watches, rings and other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Check both the battery cable ends and the battery posts to be
sure they are free of corrosion.
3. Always connect the battery positive cable first and then
connect the battery negative cable. When removing the battery
cables from the battery reverse the procedure, disconnect the
negative cable first and then the positive cable.
4. Be sure all connections are tight and coat the terminals and
cable end with dialectic grease.
WARNING – The electrolyte is a diluted sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and
corrosive. The following precautions must always be taken.
* Always wear full eye protection and protective clothing
* Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash off immediately
with water.
* If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek immediate medical attention.
* Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of one pound
of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to one gallon of water. The
bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of
reaction, foaming, has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be
flushed with water and the area dried.
DANGER – Explosive Fire Risk
* Never smoke when near batteries
* Do not cause a flame or spark in the battery area
* Always discharge static electricity from your body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded metal surface.

SERVICING BATTERIES
Installation and servicing of batteries must be performed or
supervised only by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from
batteries.
60706-187
CAOUTION - NEVER dispose of a battery in a fire. The battery is
capable of exploding.
Batteries used on these units may over time lose water. This is
especially true if you are using a trickle charger to maintain your
battery. When refilling the battery with water use only distilled
water. Tap water will shorten the service life of the battery.
Page 7
7263-00
Never fill the battery above the fill line. Over filling above the
upper level line may cause the electrolyte to overflow, resulting in
corrosion to the engine or nearby parts. Immediately wash off
any spilled electrolyte following the procedure above.
NOTE: Always make sure that a new battery is fully charged
before installing it on a generator set. Failure to do so can cause
damage to the engine control module in the generator set.
All connections must be clean and tight. Check the electrolyte
(fluid) in the battery periodically to be sure it is above the plates.
Never allow the battery to remain in a discharged condition.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER &
BLOCKHEATER
A two-stage battery tender is provided on all standby generators.
This battery tender charges at a rate of 750 mA until the battery is
fully charged and then automatically switches to a 13.2 VDC float
charger. The charger has an indicator light on it, red indicates it
is charging, and green indicates it is in the storage mode (float
charge). This charger is mounted on the engine generator set
just below the engine control panel.
** NOTICE **
The trickle charger is not intended to recharge a battery which
has become completely discharged. It is designed to produce
just enough current to maintain a fully charged battery.
The battery tender receptacle is to be powered by a GFCI circuit
and installed in accordance with the United States National
Electric Code. These AC wires can be run in the same conduit as
the other AC leads from the generator. It is suggested that this
circuit be fused for 15 amps, then both the battery charger and
the block heater can be connected to the same circuit. A 120 volt
duplex receptacle is mounted on the generator along side circuit
breaker panel, the battery tender is shipped already plugged into
the receptacle.
properly installed, the normal A.T.S. Control and safety systems
will eliminate all paths for feedback.
To wire the automatic transfer switch into the existing wiring, first
determine which circuits will be on the emergency load circuit. If
the entire load is to be transferred, the transfer switch can be
wired in directly after the watt-hour meter and the service entrance, providing the service entrance ampere rating is within the
transfer switch’s rated capability.
If only specific circuits are to be powered under emergency power
failure conditions, an additional distribution panel designated
“emergency distribution panel” must be installed.
All selected emergency circuits are removed from main distribution panels and installed in the emergency distribution panel. The
A.T.S. is then installed between the main panel and the emergency distribution panel. Suggested circuits: freezer, refrigerator,
furnace, emergency lights, sump pump, emergency outlet circuits,
etc. Total running load must not exceed generator rating.

With the engine running smoothly check the no load voltage and
frequency on the digital display. The voltage should be 208/240/
480 AC depending on which model you have and a frequency of
59.5 To 60.5 hertz (Hz).
If you have the proper voltage at the generator the next step is to
check the voltage at the generator terminals in the Automatic
Transfer Switch. The voltage between the G1 and the G3
terminals should be the same as it was on the generator front
panel. The voltage should also be checked between the hot
terminals (G1 and G3) and the G-N to be certain of a balanced
voltage output and a solid neutral connection. The voltage
between G1 and G-N should be about 120 volts AC (277 on 480
units). The same approximate voltage should be found between
terminals G3 and G-N (120 volts AC).
On three phase panels the G2 voltage level should also be
checked. ON 240 VOLT (DELTA) SYSTEMS BE SURE YOU
KNOW WHERE THE HIGH VOLTAGE "WILD" LEG IS. IT
MUST BE IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE LINE SIDE AS IT
IS ON THE GENERATOR SIDE. (i.e. if it's on L-3 on the line side
it must be on G-3 on the generator side.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I connect the fuel supply?
Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid. The pressure at the secondary demand regulator must be four to six ounces psi (per square inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C. (Water column) for vapor withdrawal units. On units equipped with liquid withdrawal fuel systems, full tank pressure is plumbed to the fuellock strainer mounted on the generator rails. The fuel converter mounted on the unit will handle both vaporization of the fuel and pressure reduction.
What type of battery do I need?
You need a 12-volt, 650 CCA (BCI group 24) maintenance-free lead-acid battery. Deep cycle batteries are not suitable for this application. Gel batteries should not be used with the battery tender installed in the generator enclosure.
How do I connect the battery charger and block heater?
A two-stage battery tender is provided on all standby generators. This battery tender charges at a rate of 750 mA until the battery is fully charged and then automatically switches to a 13.2 VDC float charger. The charger has an indicator light on it, red indicates it is charging, and green indicates it is in the storage mode (float charge). The battery tender receptacle is to be powered by a GFCI circuit and installed in accordance with the United States National Electric Code. These AC wires can be run in the same conduit as the other AC leads from the generator. It is suggested that this circuit be fused for 15 amps, then both the battery charger and the block heater can be connected to the same circuit. A 120 volt duplex receptacle is mounted on the generator along side circuit breaker panel, the battery tender is shipped already plugged into the receptacle.
