3 òÿå Do not attempt to install the generator yourself. Extremely high and dangerous electrical voltages are present in utility power source lines and in generator load leads when the unit is running. Therefore, be sure to turn OFF all power voltage supplies at their source before attempting to complete electrical connections.
200-2667 4 The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an approved earth ground.
5 200-2667 The stationary standby electric generator is manufactured for our customers to supply reliable backup power. The generator is a compact unit, designed to supply the power for your critical needs when utility power fails.

200-2667 8 Once installation planning is complete and all necessary local permits are granted, installation of the generator may begin. Within the following section general recommendations are given for installing the generator.
9 200-2667 The generator is supplied with an integral molded plastic base for use as an installation pad. Use of this base is intended to minimize installation cost by eliminating the need for a poured concrete pad. A pad of crushed gravel a minimum of three inches thick is recommended as a base to set the generator on.
200-2667 10 When connecting the generator to a building electrical distribution system, use of a transfer switch is recommended to isolate the normal utility source from the generator supply.
11 200-2667 Once the generator is anchored in its final position, it is ready for electrical connections. The generator is supplied with two terminal blocks for connection of three distinct electrical circuits; main line output power, utility power input and generator start signal.
200-2667 12 A receptacle is provided with the generator to power the battery charger for reliable starting. It is also intended to power an optional block heater if that option is desired. Connection of this circuit to a power supply that is only present when normal utility power is supplied is recommended.

200-2667 14 The engine driving the generator is engineered to provide reliable power on either Liquefied Propane Vapor (LPG) or Natural Gas. For proper operation on these fuels, it is important to deliver gas with adequate energy content, at sufficient pressure and flow rate.
15 200-2667 Units are tested with natural gas before they leave the factory. If natural gas is to be used, no adjustments are required. When supplying natural gas as the operating fuel, provide fuel with a minimum of 1000 BTU/ft 3 at inlet pressures between 6" and 11" of water column (4 - 6 oz) .
200-2667 16 To insure reliable starting in most weather conditions, it is important to properly match a battery to the requirements of the generator. The generator uses a 12 Volt, direct current, negative ground control system powered by an automotive style lead acid battery.
17 200-2667 To access the battery and charger, remove the front and back panels by inserting the key into the locks located on top of the panel. and turn 1/4 turn counterclockwise to unlock. Lift the panels up and out of the base and set it aside. Place the battery ( A ) on the base as shown in Fig G.
200-2667 18 After completing all installation procedures, read and understand the operating instructions for the generator controller. Know how the control panel operates, what to expect when activating control panel switches and how to shut the generator off in the event of an emergency.

200-2667 20 RUN MODES There are three run mode options: Off, Manual and Auto . When the Manual pushbutton is pressed the unit will immediately start and the run indicator light will illuminate. In Manual mode, the generator will continue to run until the Off pushbutton is pressed to stop the unit.
21 200-2667 Status indicator LED’s relay conditions of generator function for user or service technician convenience. Illumination of these indicator LED’s communicate conditions that require generator service but are not severe enough to cause damage if the generator is allowed to operate.

23 200-2667 Prior to checking the oil level, start the generator by pressing the MANUAL Mode button on the control panel. Allow the generator to run for one or two minutes, then shut it down by pressing the OFF button on the control panel. After the engine comes to a stop let the engine set for a couple of minutes before checking the oil level.
200-2667 24 Selection of the correct grade and type of engine oil greatly affects the performance of the generator, especially when starting. Before selecting replacement oil for an oil change, consider the anticipated operating conditions the generator may be exposed to.
25 200-2667 The generator engine is equipped with a dry element air filter to block particles in the combustion air from getting into the engine and causing excessive engine wear. Over time this dirt builds-up on the filter, restricting the amount of combustion air available to the engine, in turn leading to a loss of generator power output.
200-2667 26 Engine spark plugs are an important part of the engine ignition system. Worn or incorrectly adjusted spark plugs can negatively affect engine starting and operation. Therefore, it is important to inspect and regap, or replace the engine spark plugs as indicated in the service interval table.
27 200-2667 Proper cooling of the generator is vital to maintain performance and prevent equipment failure. Blocked cabinet openings or other airflow obstructions are potential fire hazards and can cause failures. Periodically inspect generator cabinet openings and the engine oil cooler for blockages.
