  • Page 3: Frequently Asked Questions (Faqs)

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: Do I have to supply the generator with the 100% loaded BTU rated fuel supply and pipe size? A: Yes, the generator needs the 100% loaded BTU fuel rating to start, run and handle loads. The fuel pipe must be sized for 100% load, regardless of the load.

  • 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 This generator will operate using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).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 1.3.3 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 &...

    2.2 UNPACKING 1. Remove carboard carton. 2. Remove the wood frame. Figure 2.1 — Crated Generator 3. Remove bolts and clamps. Exercise caution when removing the generator. Dragging it off the pallet WILL damage the base. The generator must be lifted from the wooden pallet to remove. FRONT ACCESS PANEL REMOVE CRATING CLAMPS (4)

  • Page 16: Section 4 - Generator Placement

    Generator Placement Section 4 4.1 GENERATOR PLACEMENT With the Site Selection and Preparation performed, proceed with placement and installation of the generator itself. All of the air-cooled generators come with a composite pad. The composite pad elevates the generator and helps prevent water from pooling around the bottom of the generator (Figure 3.1).

    After completing GENERATOR PLACEMENT, proceed to Step 4 SECTION 5 — FUEL CONVERSION/GAS REQUIREMENTS/ CONNECTIONS Fuel Conversion/Gas Requirements/ Section 5 Connections 5.1 FUEL CONVERSION The generator was confi gured for natural gas operation at the factory. Press and turn knob 180° to switch over to LP Vapor. NOTE: The orange fuel conversion knob is located on the top of the fuel mixer on the V-twin engine and under the fuel mixer on the single cylinder engine.

  • Page 18: Fuel Consumption

    Prior to installation of the generator, the installer should consult local fuel suppliers or the fi re marshal to check codes and regulations for proper installation. Local codes will mandate correct routing of gaseous fuel line piping around gardens, shrubs and other landscaping to prevent any damage.

When connecting the gas line to the generator, use the provided section of UL Listed or AGA-approved flexible fuel line in accordance with local regulations.
  • Page 21 4. Never bend the flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow. Bending the flexible line decreases its ability to absorb vibrations and defeats its purpose, as well as constricts the actual fuel flow. See Figure 5.5. 5. Check for leaks by spraying all connection points with a soap solution made of dishwashing soap and water. You should not see the solution be “blown away”...
