Resumen del manual
This booklet should only be used in conjunction with the Owner’s Manual, Installation Guide and other technical documents shipped with your equipment. Future product updates and/or modifications will be reflected in the written documentation included with your equipment. Always read all accompanying documentation carefully before attempting to install any generator, transfer switch or related equipment. It is essential to comply with all regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and strict adherence to all local, state and national codes is mandatory. Study the SAFETY RULES in the Owner’s Manual carefully before installing, operating or servicing any equipment. Use this guide ONLY in conjunction with the Owner’s Manual and Installation Guide shipped with the generator. The generator can operate safely, efficiently and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. Despite the safe design of this generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only responsible and capable persons to install, operate or maintain this equipment. Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator. General Hazards For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed, serviced and repaired by your local dealer or other competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator also must comply with all such codes, standards and regulations. Installation, operation, servicing and repair of this (and related) equipment must always comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local, state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed, operated and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Following installation, do nothing that might render the unit unsafe or in non-compliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations. Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide gas, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. For that reason, adequate ventilation must be provided. Exhaust gases must be piped safely away from any building or enclosure that houses the generator to an area where people, animals, etc., will not be harmed. This exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict compliance with applicable codes and standards. Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating. Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical to prevent buildup of explosive gases and to ensure correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator. Keep the area around the generator clean and uncluttered. Remove any materials that could become hazardous. When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued. Generator Installation These generators are air-cooled, engine- driven generator sets designed to supply electric power that operates critical electrical loads during utility power failure. Your generator was factory-installed in a weather resistant, all metal enclosure and are intended for outdoor installation only. Before Installation The generator’s rated wattage/amperage capacity must be adequate to handle all electrical loads that the unit will power. The critical (essential) loads may need to be grouped together and wired into a separate “emergency” distribution panel. Connecting this generator to an electrical system, normally supplied by an electric utility, shall be by means of a transfer switch, to isolate the electrical system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating. Failure to isolate the electrical system by these means will result in damage to the generator and may also result in injury or death to utility workers due to backfeed of electric energy. If an open bottom is used, the engine-generator is to be installed over non-combustible materials and should be located such that combustible materials are not capable of accumulating under the generator set.
