1.10 Generator Set Accessories
Have accessories installed by an authorized distributor/dealer or a licensed electrician. Follow the installation instructions
provided with each kit. Use separate conduit for AC and DC leads to reduce the possibility of electrical interference. Verify that
the leads and conduit do not interfere with the operation of the generator set or obstruct the service areas. Verify that the
electrical installation complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. See the wiring diagrams
in the Installation Drawings Section, for more information regarding generator set electrical connections.
1.10.1 Carburetor Heater
An optional carburetor heater is recommended for improved cold starting in locations where the ambient temperature drops
below 0°C (32°F). The carburetor heater prevents condensation and carburetor icing. The heater turns on when the temperature
at the thermostat falls below approximately 4°C (40°F) and turns off when the temperature rises above approximately
16°C (60°F). The carburetor heaters are shown in Figure 20.
To install the carburetor heater, follow the instructions provided with the kit. Figure 21 shows the installed carburetor heater kit
installed for a 6 kW generator set.
The heater requires a continuous source of power. Plug the carburetor heater into the 120 VAC receptacle provided.
