• Conductors must be rated 221° F (105° C) or must

be of a larger conductor size.

2.6.3 generator ac connectIons

Generator AC output leads (BLACK) “hot” and

(WHITE) grounded neutral come out of the generator

as shown in Figure 2.13. There is also a green lead

that connects to ground in the junction box of the

recreational vehicle.

CONNECTIONS IN
BACK OF GENERATOR

Leads BLACK to WHITE are protected against over-

load by a 30-amp circuit breaker (CB1). Use this

line-to-neutral connection separately to operate 120-

volt, single-phase, 60 Hertz, AC loads requiring up to

3,400 watts (3.4 kW) of power.



Do NOT connect electrical loads in excess of any

circuit breaker rating or probems will develop

with circuit breaker tripping, which causes a loss

of AC output. Also, do NOT exceed the gener-

ator's rated wattage capacity. Add the watts

or amperes of all lighting, appliance, tool and

motor loads the generator will operate at one

time. This total should be less than the unit's

rated wattage/amperage capacity.

2.6.4 conduIt

Route the connections between the generator and the

junction box through approved, flexible conduit. The

following general rules apply:
• Cut wiring to the required length and allow extra

wire for junction box connections.

• Carefully prepare conduit ends to prevent sharp

edges from cutting through wiring insulation.

• Route conduit so it does not interfere with genera-

tor movement.



• If using metallic conduit, vapor seal the end of the

conduit where it enters the junction box. Do this

because flexible metallic conduit is not vaporproof

along its entire length.

2.6.5 IsolatIng dIFFerent power

sources

Connections from the junction box must terminate in

a double-pole, double-throw transfer switch (Figure

2.14). An alternate method for isolating different

power sources is by using an isolating receptacle

(Figure 2.15). Whichever method is used, be certain

that both power sources are NOT connected at the

same time.

2.6.6 power supply cord

The power supply cord must comply with all appli-

cable codes, standards and regulations. It must be

large enough to handle the full amperage to which it

will be subjected.

2.6.7 ground Fault cIrcuIt

Interrupters

The National Electrical Code (NFPA 70, 551-7)

requires that ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)

be installed on all external and some internal electri-

cal receptacles. Contact the dealer for recommenda-

tions.

2.7 battery InstallatIon

2.7.1 recoMMended battery

Install a battery that meets the following

requirements:
• The battery must be a 12-volt, automotive type

storage battery.

• For prevailing ambient temperatures above 32°

F (0° C), use a battery rated 70 amp-hours and

capable of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.

• For prevailing ambient temperatures below 32°

F (0° C), use a battery rated 95 amp-hours and

capable of delivering 400 cold-cranking amperes.

NOTE:

If the battery is to be used to power other vehicle

accessories, as well as start the generator, a bat-

tery with a larger capacity may be needed.

2.7.2 battery cables

Using battery cables that are too long or too small in

diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes

starting problems. For the best cold weather starting,

the voltage drop between battery terminals and the

generator connection point should not exceed 0.12

volts per 100 amperes of cranking current.
