Recreational Vehicle Generators
1.2 GENERATOR
APPLICABILITY
These generators have been designed and manufac-
tured for supplying electrical power for recreational
vehicles. DO NOT modify the generator or use it for
any application other than for what it was designed.
If there are any questions pertaining to its applica-
tion, write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until
advised by competent authority.

If there are any questions pertaining to its applica-
tion, write or call the factory. Do not use the unit until
advised by competent authority.
DANGER
For fire safety, the generator must have been
properly installed in compliance with ANSI
119.2-1975/NFPA 501C-1974, “Standard for
Recreational Vehicles, Part III – Installation of
Electrical Systems.” The generator also must
have been installed in strict compliance with the
manufacturer’s detailed installation instructions.
After installation, do nothing that might render
the unit in noncompliance with such codes, stan-
dards and instructions.

Use the generator set to supply electrical power for
operating one of the following electrical loads:
operating one of the following electrical loads:
• QUIETPACT 55G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads
can require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of total
power, but cannot exceed 45.8 AC amperes of cur-
rent at 120 volts or exceed 22.9 AC amperes at 240
volts.

• QUIETPACT 65G & LP: 120 and/or 240 volts, sin-
gle phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. These loads can
require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of total power,
but cannot exceed 54.1 AC amperes of current at
120 volts or exceed 27 AC amperes at 240 volts.

rent at 120 volts or exceed 31.2 AC amperes at 240
volts.
Do not overload the generator. Some installa-
tions may require that electrical loads be alter-
nated to avoid overloading. Applying exces-
sively high electrical loads may damage the
generator and may shorten its life. Add up the
rated watts of all electrical lighting, appliance,
tool and motor loads the generator will power
at one time. This total should not be greater
than the wattage capacity of the generator. If an
electrical device nameplate gives only volts and
amps, multiply volts times amps to obtain watts
(volts x amps = watts). Some electric motors
require more watts of power (or amps of cur-
rent) for starting than for continuous operation.

1.3 INSTALLATION
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared under the
assumption that a competent, qualified technician
installed the generator into a recreational vehicle. We
also assume the installer complied with all applicable
codes, standards and regulations pertaining to instal-
lation.

An INSTALLATION MANUAL was shipped with the
generator. That Manual contains manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations for installing
the unit into an industrial vehicle. After installation,
installers should forward the Installation Manual to
Owners/Operators for their information.

1.4 SAFETY
Before using the generator set, carefully read
GENERAL SAFETY RULES inside the cover. Comply
with these RULES to prevent accidents and damage
to equipment and/or property. The manufacturer
suggests copying and posting the GENERAL SAFETY
RULES to potential operators of this equipment.

SYSTEM
These air-cooled generator sets are equipped with
dual stator AC power windings. These two stator
windings supply electrical power to customer elec-
trical loads by means of a dual 2-wire connection
system.
