Grounding the Generator
Ground the generator per applicable codes, standards and
regulations. There are two generator GND lug locations.
The one inside the generator junction box next to the
circuit breaker (A) primary lug and should suffice for most
applications. The second generator GND lug is located on the
frame below the generator circuit breaker cover and should
ONLY be used for a ground rod located at the generator, if
required by local codes.
Shutdown Alarm Detection System
The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator
in the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as
low oil pressure, high temperature, over speed, and other
conditions.
• Refer to Shutdown Alarm Detection System in the
operator's manual and the Control Panel Application
Guide supplied with this generator for more detailed
information.

System Control Panel
The system control panel is a printed circuit board that is
integrated with the control panel of the generator. It contains
all the logic circuits, operator controls, and system displays
necessary to operate, program, and protect the generator.
The system control panel interprets and monitors electrical
inputs from related circuits throughout the unit.
Please refer to the supplied Control Panel Application Guide
for detailed information about the control panel.
Final Installation Considerations
Engine Oil
A
This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30W). This allows for
system operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
GND
conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and
ensure that engine is serviced as described in the operator's
manual.
Coolant System
This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a
50-50 mix of automotive (Ethylene glycol) anti-freeze and
water. This will provide optimum year round protection
against freezing, boiling and corrosion. The coolant system
incorporates an optional water heater that operates with
a fixed thermostat set at 100°F - 120°F (39°C - 49°C)
AND utility power is present at the transfer switch. Before
starting the engine, check coolant level as described in the
Maintenance section
Fuel Supply System
Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and
without leaks.
Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that
adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic
operation is desired.
