SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electric Shock Hazard.
Contact with electric power lines will cause serious injury or death.
Contact with AC output terminals or other live electrical circuits on
this generator during operation will result in severe injury or death.
Only qualified service personnel should attempt to service the
generator electrical systems.
Explosion Hazard.
Keep Engine, fuel and other combustibles away from sparks, open
flame and burning objects.
Do not smoke near the generator.
Stop the engine before filling or draining the fuel tank.
Use only diesel fuel – do not fuel with gasoline.
Replace the fuel tank cap after refueling.
Do not use gasoline or other highly flammable solvents for cleaning.

Main Circuit Breaker
Located in the Control Panel at the operator end of the generator
The Main Circuit Breaker is present to protect the AC alternator windings
from overload damage. When the circuit breaker is in the ON position,
current can flow from the alternator to the AC output connections. When in
the OFF position, no current or voltage will be present at any AC output
connection.
This circuit breaker may switch OFF during operation if it detects an overload
condition.
Voltage Selector Switch
Located behind the hinged cover in the Upper AC Connection Panel on the generator right side.
The Voltage Selector Switch reconfigures the alternator output wiring to allow the
generator to power a wide variety of loads. See Section 3 - Operating the
Generator for more information on switching voltages. NEVER change the Voltage
Selector Switch while the engine is running.
Battery Disconnect Switch
Located inside the engine compartment on the generator right side.
“ON” Position – 12VDC from the cranking battery is available to the engine and
controller. This switch must be ON for the Controller to operate and for starting
the engine.
“OFF” Position – the cranking battery is disconnected, allowing maintenance to be
conducted safely on the engine and control panels. This position also reduces
unintended battery drain when not in use.

OPERATING THE GENERATOR Selecting and Adjusting the Output Voltage
Never turn the Voltage Selector Switch while the engine is running.
With the engine OFF, use the Voltage Selector Switch to select the desired output voltage depending on the
loads to be powered:
480/277V 3PH position provides 480V L-L / 277 L-N three-phase
208/120V 3PH position provides 208V L-L / 120V L-N three-phase
240/120V 1PH position provides 240V L-L / 120V L-N single-phase
Once the engine is running, use the Voltage Adjust Rheostat to fine tune the output voltage. Nominal
480/277V loads should not be powered if the output voltage is below 460V. Likewise, 208/120V loads should
not be powered if the output voltage is above 220V.
The 120V single phase GFCI convenience receptacles may be used in any of the three Voltage Selector
Switch positions. The 120/240V CS6369 convenience receptacles can only be used when the Voltage
Selector Switch is in one of the three-phase positions – do not use these receptacles when the Voltage
Selector Switch is in the 240/120V single-phase position.
Before starting the engine:
Check engine oil level
Check engine coolant level
Confirm that sufficient fuel is in the fuel tank
Confirm that the Emergency Stop Button is not depressed
Confirm that the Battery Disconnect is closed
Confirm that the Main Circuit Breaker is in the OFF position.
Confirm that the Voltage Selector Switch ) is in the desired position
Page | 11
Starting the engine in Manual Mode: All engine starting controls are located at the operator end of the generator.
Switch the Controller Power toggle to the ON position.
Review and resolve any notices or alarms from the Controller.
Press and release the Manual Mode button on the Controller.
Press and release the Start Engine button on the Controller. It may take a couple of seconds
before the starter engages.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
Stopping the engine in Manual Mode: Emergency shutdown - Press the Emergency Stop Button (located beside the electrical connection
panel) to immediately stop the engine in the event of an emergency.
DO NOT use the Emergency Stop Button for normal shutdown.
Normal shutdown - Press and release the Stop/Reset button on the Controller.
Connect (Close) the Generator to the Load in Manual Mode: Confirm that the Voltage Selector Switch is in the correct position for the intended load. DO NOT
turn the Voltage Selector Switch while the engine is running.
Adjust the output voltage using the Voltage Rheostat if necessary - this may be done while the
engine is running.
Confirm that the “Generator Available” LED is lit on the Controller.
Close the Main Circuit Breaker.
Monitor the output voltage and frequency for any abnormalities.
Disconnect (Open) the Generator from the Load in Manual Mode:
Turn off loads as appropriate depending on how the generator is being used.
Switch the Main Circuit Breaker open.

Section 8 - TOWING
Check tires, wheels, and axle lock:
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in property damage, serious
injury or death
Check tires for wear. Replace worn tires.
Ensure tires are inflated to the proper pressure.
Verify all wheel lugs are in place and tightened. Do not tow the trailer if a wheel lug is missing.
Check the drawbar, tow hitch, and safety chains:
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in property damage, serious
injury or death
Ensure the tow hitch on the tow vehicle is rated for weight equal to or greater than the genset gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR). The GVWR is listed on the vehicle identification tag.
Ensure the tow hitch on the tow vehicle and the drawbar hitch on the trailer are compatible.
Inspect the tow hitch and drawbar hitch for wear and damage. Replace or repair if necessary.
If the trailer has a removable drawbar, ensure the drawbar is attached securely to the trailer frame
with two sets of bolts, washers, and nuts. The bolts should engage the drawbar and the nuts should
be tight.
Lower the drawbar jack into the down position by pulling the jack locking pin and rotating the jack
downward. Release the pin and continue rotating the jack until it is vertical. When the jack is properly
set, the locking pin snaps into position with an audible “click.” Use the hand-crank on the jack to
lower the wheel to the ground.
Verify the trailer’s four corner leveling jacks (if equipped) are in the up position and secured with their
locking pins. To raise the leveling jacks, use the hand-crank on each jack to raise the jack foot off the
ground, then pull the jack locking pin and rotate the jack upward. Release the pin and continue
rotating the jack until it is horizontal and the pin reengages with an audible “click.”
Use the drawbar jack to raise the front of the trailer and set the drawbar hitch on the tow vehicle
hitch. Ensure the coupling is properly engaged and locked.
Page | 19
Raise, rotate, and lock the drawbar jack in the up or horizontal position.
Verify approved safety chains are attached properly to both the trailer and tow vehicle. The chains
should cross underneath the tow hitch.
Ensure the trailer brake lights, taillights, and directional (turn) indicators are
connected and functioning properly.
Tow-chain hook-up:
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in property damage, serious
injury or death
During towing
Failure to properly follow these precautions can result in property damage, serious
injury or death
Do not tow the trailer with any people, parts, supplies, or additional equipment attached to the trailer
or loaded onto it.
Do not tow additional trailers or other equipment in tandem with the message sign trailer.
The recommended maximum speed for highway towing is 65 mph (105 km/h). For off-road towing,
the recommended maximum speed is 15 mph (25 km/h) or less, depending on terrain. Always tow
at a safe speed.
Adhere to applicable transportation department regulations when towing the trailer.
Page | 20
After towing
After towing, unhook the tow chains from the tow vehicle, then use the drawbar-mounted jack to raise the
drawbar and release the drawbar hitch from the tow vehicle. Pull the vehicle away from the message sign
trailer when ready.
