Briggs & Stratton Power Products Home Generator System

Owners Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Briggs & Stratton Home Generator System (HGS).Your HGS was designed to provide automatic auxiliary electrical power for the duration of normal power interruption. It is not intended for use as primary power in place of utility nor for use in life-support applications.The generator unit has been engineered and tested to exacting standards of performance and reliability and is equipped with a UL® listed Automatic Power Transfer Switch.

Briggs and Stratton has made every effort to provide for a safe, streamlined and cost-effective installation. Because each installation is unique, it is impossible to know of and advise the trade of all conceivable procedures and methods by which installation might be achieved. Neither could we know of possible hazards and/or the results of each method or procedure. For these reasons,

Only current qualified electrical and plumbing contractors should attempt HGS installations.

Installations must strictly comply with all applicable codes, industry standards and regulations.

Your Briggs & Stratton Home Generator System is supplied with this “Owners Manual”, a separate “Installation Manual” (part number 190838) and a Warranty Sheet (part number 190881).These are important documents and should be retained by the owner after the installation has been completed.

To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which you purchased your Briggs & Stratton Home Generator System, your dealer, or your utility power provider.

The HGS Warranty is VOID unless the system

is installed by certified electrical and

plumbing professionals.

For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:

For most applications, the Installation manual contains all the information required to properly install and start the Home Generator System.This Owner’s Manual describes essential circuit selection, routine operation and owner maintenance procedures.

If you need more information, call 1-800-743-4115, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT.

The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted for standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

OWNER ORIENTATION

This section provides Home Generator System owners with the information necessary to achieve the most satisfactory and cost effective installation possible.

The illustrations are for typical circumstances and are meant to familiarize you with the installation options available with your Home Generator System. A thorough understanding of these options will provide fundamental control over the cost of your installation, as well as ensure your final satisfaction and security.

Installation Assistance

For the Home or Business Owner:

To help you make informed choices and communicate effectively with your installation contractor(s),

Read and understand the

Owner Orientation Section of this manual

BEFORE contracting or starting

your HGS installation.

Local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types, and distances are the factors that must be considered when negotiating with an installation professional. Remember that as the distance from the existing electrical service and gaseous fuel supply increases, equal compensations in piping and wiring materials must be allowed for.This is necessary to comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.

The factors mentioned above will have a direct

affect on the overall price of your Home Generator

System installation.
