Typical clearance around the unit

The unit should have adequate clearance on all sides in order to allow proper air flow. Allow approximately 2 m (6.6 ft) of clearance on all sides.

  • Place the unit in a stable position.

  • Ensure that you use wheel chocks that are suitable for the trailer.

  • Unfasten the tow vehicle before you operate the unit.

------ WARNING! ------

Failure to close doors when the unit is operating can result in doors opening and closing at a high rate of speed. Contact with the doors may cause personal injury or death.

------ DANGER! ------

DANGER: Shock/Electrocution Hazard-Do not operate this equipment or work on this equipment unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings will result in serious injury or death.


  1. Ensure that the generator set is not operating. Place the handle of the main circuit breaker in the "OFF" position. The "OFF" position is the open position.

  2. Loosen thumb screws (1) and open the door for the load buses (2).


    Illustration 7g01221175

  3. Loosen thumb screws (3) and open the door (4) for the voltage changeover board.


    Illustration 8g01221190

  4. Remove 10 hex nuts and washers (5) that fasten the voltage changeover board (6).


    Illustration 9g01221199

  5. Position the voltage changeover board (6) to the left for low voltage (240V). The position of the voltage changeover board is indicated through the cutout (7). Fasten the voltage changeover board (6) with nuts and washers (5).

  8. Remove the clear plastic shield on the main circuit breaker (8) which covers the switches for the rotary trip adjustment.


    Illustration 13g01221233

  9. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the switches (9) of the rotary trip adjustment to the correct amperage.

    • "HIGH (480V) - 400 Amp"

    • "LOW (240V) - 800 Amp"

  10. Install the clear plastic shield on the main circuit breaker (8) in order to cover the switches (9) of the rotary trip adjustment.

  11. Proceed with the load connections. Close the door (2) for the load buses and fasten the door (2) with thumb screws (1) after the connections to the load buses have been made.

Load Connections

------ DANGER! ------

DANGER: Shock/Electrocution Hazard-Do not operate this equipment or work on this equipment unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings will result in serious injury or death.



NOTICE

Verify the correct load phase rotation with the generator prior to connecting the output power cables.


Note: The procedure for the load connection is illustrated by using a XQ400 dual voltage distribution panel. All of the instructions are typical for both the dual voltage distribution panel and for the single voltage distribution panel.

(1) Main circuit breakers
(2) Thumb screws
(3) Bus bars
(4) Ground connection
(5) Receptacles
(6) Connection for remote start/stop
(7) Circuit breakers for receptacles

  1. Ensure that the generator set is not operating. Place main circuit breakers (1) in the "OFF" position. The "OFF" position is the open position.

    Dual voltage distribution panels can have two different voltages. Determine the voltage to use. Use either HIGH (480 V) or LOW (240 V) voltage. Select the applicable receptacles (5) or bus bars (3).

  2. Connect the output power cables to the receptacles (5) or to the bus bars (3).

    If it is necessary to connect the output power cables to the bus bars:

    1. Loosen thumb screws (2) and open the door to the load connections. The shunt trips for the main circuit breaker are activated when the door is opened.

    2. Connect the output power cables to the appropriate bus bars (3).

    3. Close the door to the load connections and secure the door with thumb screws (2). The shunt trips for the main circuit breakers will activate if the door is not properly secured.

    ------ WARNING! ------

    Failure to connect the unit to a suitable grounding electrode can result in electrical shock and may cause injury or death.


  3. Connect the ground connection (4) to a suitable grounding electrode of no more than 25 ohms.

  4. Connect the control wiring (if equipped) for the automatic start/stop to the connection points for the remote start/stop (6).

  5. Close circuit breakers (1) after the connection is made and the engine is running.
