ASSEMBLY

Connecting Generator to an Electrical System


• If connecting generator to a building’s electrical system for standby power, you must use a qualified electrician to install
a transfer switch. The power from the generator must be isolated from the circuit breaker or alternative power source.
The connection must comply with all electrical codes and applicable laws.

Grounding the Generator (See Fig 6)


The ground terminal located on the back of the generator frame must always be used
to connect generator to a driven ground rod. Connect the ground terminal to the driven
ground rod with a No 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. The wire connects
to the terminal between the lock washer and nut. Tighten the nut securely to ensure
proper connection. Grounding the generator protects you from electric shock that
results from a build up of static electricity or undetected ground faults.

Fig 6

W Generator must be properly grounded to prevent electrocution.


WARNING!
• Only operate generator on a level surface.
• Always connect the nut and ground terminal on the frame to an appropriate ground source.

Extension Cord Selection


Refer to the below table to ensure the extension cord used has the capacity to carry the required load. If the size of the
cable is inadequate it can cause a voltage drop, which can damage the electrical device and cord.

Moving the Generator
Disconnect any electronic devices from generator then turn generator off.
Turn fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
Tilt generator until it balances on wheels. Roll machine to desired location.
If the generator must be carried, fold handle to the down position. Never lift or carry generator by its handle.

W This product is heavy and requires several people to lift. Lift and lower with your legs by bending
WAUTION!
C at the knees, not your back, to avoid injury.

Don't Overload Generator


Make sure you can supply enough rated watts and surge watts for all electronic devices connected to the generator. Rated
watts refer to the power a generator must supply to keep a device running. Surge watts refer to the power a generator
must supply to start an electronic device. This power surge for starting a device usually lasts between 2-3 seconds but this
additional output must be taken into account when selecting the electronic devices you plan to attach to the generator. To
prevent overloading the generator take the following steps:

1. Add up the total rated wattage of all electronic devices that will be connected to the generator simultaneously.
2. Estimate surge watts by adding the item(s) with the highest output (it is unnecessary to calculate the surge output for all
devices as they should be connected one at a time).
3. Add the Surge Watts to the total Rated Watts in step 1. Keep total load within generator’s power capacity.

Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 Hz
frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To reduce the risk of damage, always have an additional load
plugged into the generator if solid state equipment (such as television set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended
for some solid state applications.

Power Management
Start engine without anything connected to generator.
When engine has stabilized, plug in and turn on first load. It is strongly recommended to plug in devices with the largest
output first and the smallest output last to help prevent overloading the generator.
Allow generator output to stabilize (engine and attached devices run evenly) before plugging in the next load.

Cold Weather Operation


Under humid conditions where temperatures drop to 40ºF (4ºC),Diesel and crankcase ventilation pipe lines may appear to freeze .
In order to prevent Diesel and crankcase ventilation pipe lines may appear to freeze ,To prevent icing take the following steps:
1. Use clean - 35 # diesel fuel.
2. Use the SAE 5W - 30 CD diesel engine oil.
3. Preheat open generating set switch.
4. Turn fuel valve to the open position.
5. Ensure generator is serviced according to the maintenance schedule under “Maintenance” section of manual.
6. Shelter unit from elements.

To Balance the Load


To obtain the best output and performance of your Ford Generator it is best to make every effort to balance the
load on the outlets. Attempt to spread the load as evenly as possible by utilizing all outlets and try to run higher
wattage device onseparate outlets when possible. For example; if you have a device that draws 2,500W and a
device that draws 2,000W, put one plug in the left duplex receptacle and then plug the other device in the right
duplex receptacle which would be a more balance than placing both plugs in a single duplex receptacle putting
4,500W on one receptacle.

Creating a Temporary Cold Weather Shelter


In an emergency , the original shipping carton can be used as a temporary shelter. The shelter should hold enough heat
created by the generator to prevent icing.
1.Cut off all flaps.
2.Cut off one of the long sides of the carton to expose the units muffler and exhaust. Do not enclose the muffler / exhaust
side of the generator.
3.Slide carton over generator. If necessary, remove the wheel assembly for fit.
4.Maintain 5 feet of clearance between the open side of box and other objects. The exposed side of the box should face
away from the wind and elements.
5.Remove shelter when temperatures reach -4ºF (-20ºC).

Regular maintenance will extend the life of this generator and improve its performance. The warranty does not cover items
that result from operator negligence, misuse, or abuse. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain the
generator as instructed in this manual, including proper storage.

18
Pre-Operation Steps
Before starting the engine, perform the following pre-operation steps:
• Check the level of the engine oil and the fuel tank level.
• Make sure the air filter is clean.
• Remove any debris that has collected on the generator and around the muffler and controls. Use a vacuum cleaner to

Draining Fuel Tank


To help prevent gum deposits in the fuel system, drain the fuel from the tank and carburetor before storing the unit for long
periods of time. This will help prevent starting problems in the future. If the unit is stored with fuel and the fuel becomes
stale or turns gummy or to varnish the warranty does not cover this repair or service.

Draining the fuel tank


• Turn the engine OFF.
• Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
• Remove the fuel line that leads to the carburetor from the petcock by squeezing the ends of the hose clamps and
sliding the fuel line off.
• If needed, install a fuel hose that will extend to a suitable fuel container large enough to catch the fuel being drained
from the tank.
• Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
• When the fuel has drained from the tank, close the fuel valve and reinstall fuel line securely on petcock.

22
Storage and Transportation of the Generator(See Fig 18)
• Remove any debris that has collected on the generator and around the muffler and control panel. Use a brush or vacuum
to remove loose dirt .
• Inspect air cooling slots. Remove any debris if obstructed.
• For short-term storage, Less than 1 month,No storage procedure required.
