Generator AC Connection System

A single-phase, three-wire AC connection system is used in
the Home Standby Generator.The stator assembly consists
of a pair of stationary windings with two leads brought out
of each winding.The junction of leads 22 and 33 forms the
neutral lead. A complete schematic and wiring diagram can
be found on pages 24-25.
NOTE: Neutral is not bonded to ground at generator.

Grounding the Generator

Installer-supplied stranded copper wire is connected to the
generator GND lug and routed through conduit to the
Transfer Switch GND. Continue the wire through conduit
to the main distribution panel ground bus.
Generator Control Circuit
Connection
Control circuit interconnections consist of "240V AC Utility"
leads.These two leads must be routed in minimum 3/4"
conduit. Control lead functions are briefly described as follows:
• Leads deliver utility power to generator's circuit board,
oil heater, optional battery warmer and charge the
battery.

Using installer-supplied minimum 300V, 16 AWG stranded
copper wire, connect control circuit terminals in the
control panel to the Transfer Switch.

Remote Start Switch with LED

The light on the remote start switch plate is referred to as
the LED.The LED will light indicating the generator has
started when pushing the start switch. A mounting plate is
supplied so that it can be installed at a convenient indoor
location.The owner will use it to observe the status of the
Home Standby Generator. Consult with the owner for a
convenient location.
To install the remote start switch plate:
• Mount installer-supplied electrical box to wall.
• Using installer-supplied wire, connect the remote start
switch and the "Remote Status Light" leads to the
control panel terminal strip.
NOTE: LED leads are polarity sensitive.
• Attach mounting plate to electrical box.
BEFORE INITIAL START -UP

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the
recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level
and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the
engine owner's manual.
CAUTION
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has
been properly serviced with the recommended oil will
result in equipment failure.
• Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void warranty.

Oil Considerations

Your Home Standby Generator is equipped with an engine
that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require
the traditional "break-in" procedure.
The generator is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-
30W).This allows for generator operation in the widest
range of temperature and climate conditions.
NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the
required oil change intervals described in the engine
owner's manual.
