LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
If all readings are correct, an electrical hookup can
be made to the generator set. To make the
electrical hookup to the generator set, observe the
following set of procedures:
SHUT DOWN THE GENERATOR SET BY
PRESSING THE "OFF" BUTTON ON THE CAS-
CADE CONTROL PANEL. SWITCH THE
TOGGLE TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE
MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
THE MAIN GENERATOR BREAKER SHOULD
BE IN THE “OFF” POSITION.
• Shut down the generator set.
• Connect the desired electrical apparatus to the
generator set, while making sure no other
power source is connected to the same
apparatus.
• Restart the engine and monitor the gauges as
outlined in the "Operating Instructions" section
under "Starting the Engine/Generator Set".
• Turn the required generator circuit breakers to
the “ON” position.
• Monitor the AC Ammeter - If the needle deflects
severely to the right and stays there,
immediately turn the required generator circuit
breakers to the “OFF” position.
SEVERE DEFLECTION OF THE AMMETER
INDICATES A WIRING PROBLEM OR AN
OVERLOAD PROBLEM. CONTINUED OPERA-
TION UNDER THIS CONDITION WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR AND/OR
CONNECTED APPARATUS.
The needle on the ammeter will deflect to the right
temporarily and then return to a normal
reading if the unit is operating properly.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
OPERATION
The TEREX Super Quiet generator sets rated
from T25I and T45I are equipped with a VOLT-
AGE SELECTOR SWITCH. This switch can have
three positions marked “480/277” and “208/120”,
or “240/120”. Each position delivers a different
output voltage to the DISTRIBUTION LUGS. The
SELECTOR SWITCH and DISTRIBUTION LUGS
are located on the DISTRIBUTION PANEL. The
following instructions should be considered when
operating the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH.
• Always make sure the voltage selector switch
has been set to the desired range before
starting the generator set.
NEVER OPERATE THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR
SWITCH WHILE THE GENERATOR IS RUN-
NING! THIS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE
DAMAGE TO THE SWITCH, THE GENERATOR,
OR THE CONNECTED EQUIPMENT WHICH
WILL ALSO VOID THE WARRANTY. IT MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPER-
ATING PERSONNEL.
THIS GENERATOR SET PRODUCES VOLT-
AGES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE SHOCK OR
DEATH! ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS
SHOULD PERFORM ELECTRICAL WORK.
