11.Push and hold MANUAL OVER-RIDEbutton on control panel again until engine stops.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT proceed until you are certain that generator AC voltage and frequency are correct and within the stated limits. To obtain the proper generator frequency, see Engine Adjustments.

Engine Adjustment

There are regional variances in the composition of natural gas. Each home generator unit leaves the factory set for NG operation. If the generator output voltage or frequency measured during Initial Start-Up (paragraph #9) is outside the listed ranges, the combustibility of the gas supplied at the installation site may be substantially different from the fuel used at the factory.

To adjust the engine for this difference, proceed as follows.

1.Remove the oil drain and control panel access covers.

2.Connect an accurate frequency meter to the line side of the generator’s main circuit breaker.

3.Ensure that the 15 Amp fuse is installed.

4.Set the generator’s main circuit breaker ON.

5.Set the generator’s system switch to AUTO.

6.Push MANUAL OVER-RIDEbutton on control panel. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up for five minutes.

7.Normal no load frequency is 62.0 to 62.5 Hz. If adjustment is needed at no load, slowly rotate the governor adjustment nut (A) clockwise and/or counterclockwise until frequency is 62.0 to 62.5 Hz.

8.Push and hold MANUAL OVER-RIDEbutton on control panel again until engine stops.

9.Turn the service disconnect to the transfer switch off. After a short time delay, the transfer switch will connect to the generator.

10.Load generator to full load.

11.Connect an accurate frequency meter to the load side of the generator’s main circuit breaker. Frequency should be above 57.0 Hz.

12.If frequency is below 57.0 Hz, slowly rotate the governor adjustment nut or screw clockwise and/or counterclockwise until frequency is above 57.0 Hz.

13.Turn the service disconnect to the transfer switch on. The transfer switch will connect to the utility after five minutes.

14.After the engine has stopped running,

•If an adjustment was made in step 12, repeat steps 3 through 8.

•If an adjustment was not made in step 12, proceed to step 15.

IMPORTANT: If the no load frequency falls out of the no load parameter after full load adjustment is made, contact an authorized service center.

15. Install the oil drain and control panel access covers.

Controls

See the Operator’s Manual for complete description of the home generator controls.

Operation

Automatic Operation Sequence

The generator’s control panel houses a logic control circuit board. This control board constantly monitors utility power source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a preset level, control board action will signal the engine to crank and start.

When utility source voltage is restored above a preset voltage level, the engine is signaled to shut down.

The actual system operation is not adjustable and is sequenced by sensors and timers on the control board, as follows:

Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor

•This sensor monitors utility source voltage.

•If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a 10 second timer. The timer is used to ‘sense’ brown- outs.

•Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and start.

Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor

This sensor monitors utility power supply voltage. When that voltage is restored above 80 percent of the nominal source voltage, a time delay starts timing and the engine will go to engine cool-down.

Engine Cool-down Timer

•When the load is transferred back to the utility power source, the engine cool-down timer starts timing.

•The timer will run for about one minute, then the generator will stop.

•Minimum engine run time is 5 minutes.
