Air-cooled 8.5 kW Generator

9.Apply thread sealant to the threads of the hose fit- ting and replace it into the regulator body.

10.Re-attach the small hose and hose clamp and tighten as necessary.

11.Replace the engine air in baffle using the four M6 screws.

12.Identify both brass adjustment screws on the reg- ulator.

NOTE:

One adjustment screw can be accessed from the front of the unit and the second can be accessed from the back of the unit enclosure by removing the plastic hole plug. The screw can be turned with a long flat blade screwdriver.

13.To adjust the system to run on LP fuel, turn BOTH adjuster screws 1/2 TURN CLOCKWISE. The system should now be set for maximum power and best perfomance. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE SET PINS FROM THE REGULATOR HOUSING. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

14.It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the preset adjustment screw settings to achieve maximum power, particularly at higher altitudes. If experiencing problems with the unit producing maximum power, follow the procedure in Section 2.6 (Adjusting the Fuel Regulator).

1.10 LOCATION

◆1.10.1 GENERATOR

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available. Consider these factors:

•Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drift- ing, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.

•Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not rise and endanger it.

•Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for maintenance and servicing. A good rule is to allow three feet of space on all sides.

•Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the generator air inlet openings to the prevailing winds.

•Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel supply, to reduce the length of piping.

•Install the generator as close as possible to the transfer switch. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DIS- TANCE.

◆1.10.2 TRANSFER SWITCH

The transfer switch shipped with this generator is rated 100 amps maximum at 120/240 volts AC single phase. The enclosure of the transfer switch is NEMA

1.This type of enclosure is intended for indoor use only. Follow these rules:

•Install the transfer switch indoors on a firm, stur- dy supporting structure.

•To prevent switch distortion, level the switch if nec- essary. This can be done by placing washers between the switch enclosure and mounting surface.

•Never install the switch where water or any corro- sive substance might drip onto the enclosure.

•Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and cor- rosive vapors.

1.11 BATTERY INSTALLATION

Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if nec- essary and have the battery fully charged before installing it.

Before installing and connecting the battery, complete the following steps:

1.Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.

2.Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch.

DANGER

If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is not set to its OFF position, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connect- ed. If the utility power supply is not turned off, sparking can occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion.

Battery cables were factory connected at the genera- tor (Figure 1.5). Connect cables to battery posts as follows:

3.Connect the red battery cable (from starter con- tactor) to the battery post indicated by a positive, POS or (+).

4.Connect the black battery cable (from frame ground) to the battery post indicated by a nega- tive, NEG or (—).

NOTE:

Damage will result if battery connections are made in reverse.
