Electrical Connections
Do not connect the battery cables to the battery until
Installation Review and Startup
(Page 20) to pre-
vent accidental starting of the genset during installa-
tion.
WARNING
Accidental starting of the genset
can cause severe personal injury or death. Do
not connect the starting battery until Installa-
tion Review and Startup (Page 20).
GENERATOR CONNECTIONS
The genset is equipped with 126 inch (3.2 m) long
AC power output leads which exit through a 1/2 inch
trade size conduit connector (Figure 12). See Fig-
ure 13 for typical connections.
If these leads must
be replaced by longer leads, make sure their am-
pacity, as determined by the appropriate chart in the
National Electrical Code (NEC), is at least 115 per-
cent of the amps marked on the genset circuit
breaker. (Unless 125
°
C rated wiring is available,
heavier gauge wiring may be required to obtain the
required ampacity.)
Wiring Methods
Follow the National Electrical Code, especially not-
ing the following:
1. Have a qualified electrician supervise and in-
spect the installation of all AC wiring.
2. Install vibration-proof switches and controls
that won’t open and close circuits when the ve-
hicle is in motion.
3. Provide ground fault circuit interrupters
(GFCIs)for all convenience power receptacles.
4. Route AC wiring, remote control wiring and fuel
lines separately.
5. Seal all conduit openings into the vehicle interi-
or to keep out exhaust gas. Apply silicone rub-
ber or an equivalent type of sealant inside and
outside each conduit connector. (Flexible con-
duit is not vapor-tight and will allow exhaust gas
to enter along the wires if not sealed.)
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY!
Seal all wiring openings into the vehicle in-
terior to keep out exhaust gas.
