SAFETY!
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION OR
OPERATION OF YOUR GENERATORJOE GENERATOR SET.
Think Safety first at all times and when in doubt call GENERATORJOE and get additional information
before performing installation, operation, service or testing of the generator set. Each section of this manual will
have caution! and warning! information, which should be regarded with the utmost care. Repairs should only
be done by properly trained personnel and under no circumstances should anyone proceed with a repair when
they are not sure of proper procedure. This manual is not intended to be all that is required to properly operate
this unit but is merely an aid to performing basic service to keep the unit in proper operating condition. Included
with the unit should be an engine operator’s guide and a generator operators guide to assist a generator
technician in maintaining the unit.
Installation of the unit should be done in compliance with the installation section of this manual. Proper
installation in accordance with the National Electric Code, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and local safety codes must be strictly complied with. Proper grounding is essential in preventing
possible electrical shock and even death. Remember, safety begins with the owner/operator of the unit. Make
sure to keep fingers, hair, jewelry and clothing away from the revolving parts of the generator set such as belts,
fan blade and generator rotor fan
Operation of the unit should be first done by GENERATORJOE authorized start up personnel so that they
make sure the unit was properly installed and is functioning properly with the load system being applied to the
unit. The start up personnel will instruct the owner on basic procedures and will answer any questions the owner
may have on general operation and maintenance.
Before performing routine maintenance, disconnect the unit from the load and disable the control system as
discussed in the maintenance section, Disabling the System. Proper maintenance is the primary method of
assuring the unit will operate when it is needed.
Review each of the sections before proceeding with installation or operation of the GENERATORJOE
