  • Page 4: Section 1 - Safety Rules & General Information

    Safety Rules & General Information Section 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator. It is designed to automatically supply electrical power to operate critical loads during a utility power failure. This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that is intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This generator will operate using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).

  • Page 5: Safety Rules

    1.2 SAFETY RULES Save These Instructions – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe operation be copied and posted near the unit’s installation site. Safety should be stressed to all operators and potential operators of this equipment. Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar with this Installation Manual and with the unit.

  • Page 6: General Rules

    1.2.2 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS • All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch, as does the standby generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., while the unit is running.
  • Page 7 1.3.2 NEC REQUIREMENTS Local code enforcement may require that Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) be incorporated into the transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch provided with this generator has a distribution panel that will accept AFCIs (pre-wired transfer switches only). Siemens Part No.

  • Page 8: Section 2 - Unpacking/Inspection/Familiarization

     If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate the electrical system from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 700, 701 &...
