Manual

INSTALLATION

Refer to the separate “Installation Guide QT Product

Line” supplied with the unit.

PREPARATION BEFORE START-UP

The instructions in this section assume that the

standby generator has been properly installed,

serviced, tested, adjusted and otherwise prepared

for use by a competent, qualified installation con-

tractor. Be sure to read the “Safety Rules”, as well

as all other safety information in this manual,

before attempting to operate this (and related)

equipment.

Before starting the generator for the first time, the

installer must complete the following procedures. For

follow-up maintenance information and/or service

intervals, please refer to the “Maintenance” section

and the “Service Schedule”.

TRANSFER SWITCH 

If this generator is used to supply power to any elec-

trical system normally powered by an electric utility,

the National Electrical Code requires that a transfer

switch be installed. The transfer switch prevents elec-

trical backfeed between two different electrical sys-

tems. (For additional information, see the applicable

transfer switch manual for this unit.) The transfer

switch, as well as the generator and other electrical

components, must be properly located and mounted

in strict compliance with applicable codes, standards

and regulations.

FUEL SYSTEM 

Make sure the fuel supply system to the genera-

tor (a) delivers the correct fuel at the correct pres-

sure and (b) is properly purged and leak tested

according to code. No fuel leakage is permitted. See

“Specifications” for more information.

GENERATOR SET LUBRICATION 

Check the engine crankcase oil level before operating

and add oil to the proper level – the dipstick “FULL”

mark. Never operate the engine with the oil level

below the dipstick “ADD” mark. See “Specifications”

and “Engine Oil Recommendations”.

NOTE:

This engine is shipped from the manufacturer

with “break-in” oil. This oil should be changed

after 30 hours of operation.

Check the oil level in the generator gearbox (if so

equipped) prior to initial use and at the intervals

indicated by the “Service Schedule.” The recom-

mended oil is SAE 90 gear lubricant.

Also, if the engine is equipped with a mechanical gov-

ernor, make sure the governor is properly lubricated

with clean engine oil.

PRIOR TO INITIAL START-UP 



Prior to initially starting the generator, it must

be properly prepared for use. Any attempt to

crank or start the engine before it has been

properly serviced with the recommended types

and quantities of engine fluids (oil, coolant, fuel,

etc.) may result in an engine failure.

ENGINE COOLANT 

Have the engine cooling system properly filled with

the recommended coolant mixture. Check the system

for leaks and other problems. See “Specifications”

and “Coolant” sections.

BELT TENSION 

Check-the engine-fan belt tension and condition prior

to placing the unit into service and at recommended

intervals. Belt tension is correct when a force of

approximately 22 pounds (10 kg), applied midway

between pulleys, deflects the belt about 3/8- to 5/8-

inch (10 to 16 mm).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 

Make sure the generator is properly connected to an

approved earth ground.

Make sure the generator battery is fully charged,

properly installed and interconnected, and ready for

use.

NOTE:

Battery charger must be connected to 120 VAC, 15

amp circuit to operate.

Check to ensure that there are no loose electrical con-

nections. Restrain any loose wires to keep them clear

of any moving generator set components.
