Guardian Technologies 04759-2 Manual De Usuario

Transfer switches for use with these generators 
are sold separately and can be purchased from 
Authorized Dealers.

• Install the transfer switch on a firm, sturdy sup-

porting structure.

• To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if 

necessary. This can be done by placing washers 
between the switch enclosure and mounting sur-
face.

•  Never install the switch where water or any corro-

sive substance might drip onto the enclosure.

• Protect the switch at all times against excessive 

moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and cor-
rosive vapors.

•  Failure to utilize the manufacturer's transfer switch 

with this generator will void the warranty.

Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if 
necessary and have the battery fully charged before 
installing it.

Before installing and connecting the battery, complete 
the following steps:

1.  Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to 

OFF.

2.  Turn off utility power supply to the transfer 

switch.

3.  Remove the 5 amp and 15 amp fuses from the 

generator control panel.

Battery cables were factory connected at the genera-
tor (Figure 1.5). Connect cables to battery posts as 
follows:

4.  Connect the red battery cable (from starter con-

tactor) to the battery post indicated by a positive, 
POS or (+).

5.  Connect the black battery cable (from frame 

ground) to the battery post indicated by a nega-
tive, NEG or (—).

6.  Replace the 5 amp and 15 amp fuses in the gen-

erator control panel.

NOTE:

Damage will result if battery connections are made 
in reverse.

NOTE:

The generator is equipped with a battery trickle 
charger that is active when the unit is set up for 
automatic operation. With the battery installed 
and utility power source voltage available to the 
transfer switch, the battery receives a trickle 
charge while the engine is not running, to prevent 
self-discharge. The trickle charger is designed to 
help extend the life of the battery by maintain-
ing the battery when the unit is not running. The 
trickle charge feature cannot be used to recharge 
a discharged battery.

Servicing of the battery is to be performed or super-
vised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and 
the required precautions. Keep unauthorized person-
nel away from batteries.

When replacing the battery, use the following type of 
battery: Group 26/26R 12-volt battery with a rating 
of 350 cold-cranking amps minimum for 7 kW; 525 
cold-cranking amps minimum for 12 and 15 kW at 
18º C (0º F) minimum. When using a maintenance-
free battery, it is not necessary to check the specific 
gravity or electrolyte level. Have these procedures 
performed at the intervals specified in the “Service 
Schedule.” A negative ground system is used. Battery 
connections are shown on the wiring diagrams. Make 
sure the battery is correctly connected and terminals 
are tight. Observe battery polarity when connecting 
the battery to the generator set.
