1-1 Safety Features 450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1 Safety Features 1-1.1 Seat Belts and Restraint Pic of Pilot Safety Belt Systems 1-1.1.1 Pilot and Co-Pilot Seats The seatbelts in the pilot and co-pilot area use a 3-point system built into the seat itself.
Page 13 450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1 Safety Features 1-1.2.2 Warnings and Cautions • Smoke Alarms can only work if they are properly located, installed, and maintained, and if smoke reaches them. They are not foolproof. • This alarm meets the 10/1/1999 UL standard for a new horn “alarm” pattern for smoke alarms. This sound is different than other Smoke Alarms you may have installed or may have heard in other locations.
Page 14 1-1 Safety Features 450 LXi Owner Manual CAUTION!! This smoke alarm may not give adequate warning to those with physical limitations of any kind. Additional measures should be taken to insure their safe evacuation if a ﬁ re does occur.
Page 15 450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1 Safety Features 1-1.2.6 Operation, Testing and Maintenance Operation: The smoke alarm is operating once the battery is correctly connected. The LED will ﬂ ash every minute to show the battery is supplying power to the alarm. When production of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud alarm which continues until the air is cleared.
Page 16: Battery Information
1-1 Safety Features 450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1.2.7 Battery Information Battery Removal Indicator - This Unit will not operate without a battery. When the battery is removed from the alarm, the battery ﬂ ag in the compartment will pop up; therefore the alarm cannot be installed to the mounting bracket without a battery.
Page 17: Procedures To Take During An Alarm
450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1 Safety Features 1-1.3.2 Alarm The red LED will ﬂ ash and the alarm will sound whenever a dangerous level of propane or methane gas is detected. The detector will continue to alarm until the gas clears or the TEST/MUTE switch is pressed.
Page 18 1-1 Safety Features 450 LXi Owner Manual WARNING!! Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU. When the alarm sounds on this device and the RED Alarm Indicator light ﬂ ashes, they indicate the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can be FATAL.
Page 19: 1-1.4.6 Troubleshooting
450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1 Safety Features Fault Condition. In the event the CO alarm senses a fault in its electronics, the ORANGE Fault indicator light will illuminate continuously (not ﬂ ashing) and then sound a beep once every ﬁ ve seconds. The GREEN power indicator will then turn off, indicating that the alarm is no longer monitoring for CO gas.
Page 20 1-1 Safety Features 450 LXi Owner Manual 1-1.4.7 What You Should Know About Interaction with Other Products Never ignore a CO alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This CO alarm is designed to provide an early warning signal to alert you to the presence of CO gas at the gas sensor. The alarm is designed to sound before most people will experience dangerous symptoms of CO poisoning.

Page 71 450 LXi Owner Manual 4-2 Generator 4-2.4 Principles of Operation The exciter pole pieces contain residual magnetism, setting up lines of force across the air gap to the exciter armature. When the exciter armature begins to rotate a voltage is induced and current ﬂ ow is initiated in the exciter armature AC windings.
Page 72 4-2 Generator 450 LXi Owner Manual ELECTRONIC VOLTAGE REGULATION - Electronic Voltage Regulation (sometimes called automatic voltage regulation by many users) regulates the voltage by using a solid state electronic circuit of transistors, integrated circuits, SCR’s, resistors, capacitors, etc., to sense the generator voltage and feed a DC current into the exciter ﬁ eld of the proper average value to hold the generator voltage constant from no-load to full rated load and above.

Page 75 450 LXi Owner Manual 4-2 Generator Each generator was subjected to a standard NEMA insulation test, which means 1000 volts plus twice the highest voltage for which the generator is rated was impressed between the windings and the frame. All machines are insulated with a high safety factor for the class of insulation used.
Page 76 4-2 Generator 450 LXi Owner Manual 4-2.6.5 Troubleshooting Procedure for AC Brushless Generator As with any machine, trouble may develop in electrical generators. It may be due to long service or neglect of regular maintenance, servicing, and checking. Should trouble develop, the following instructions will be helpful in tracing the cause and making repairs.
Page 77 450 LXi Owner Manual 4-2 Generator If 12 volt excitation causes the engine to growl and load the engine with no or very low generator output voltage, the stator could be grounded or shorted. Or, a short or ground in the wiring of the generator power circuit could be the main fault.
