Installation, Start-Up and Owner’s Manual

BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine owner’s manual.

CAUTION

Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

•Refer to engine manual for oil fill information.

•Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty.

Oil Considerations

Your Standby Generator is equipped with an engine that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require the traditional “break-in” procedure.

The generator is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W- 30W).This allows for generator operation in the widest range of temperature and climate conditions.

NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the required oil change intervals described in the engine owner’s manual.

7.Ensure hardware on both positive and negative battery terminals is secure.

8.Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.

CAUTION

Installing the 15A fuse could cause the engine to start.

•DO NOT install the 15 Amp fuse until all plumbing and wiring has been completed and inspected.

9.Reinstall service disconnect in disconnect box.

10.Set generator's “AUTO/OFF/MANUAL” switch to AUTO.

11.Reset exercise timer following instructions “Setting Exercise Timer” on page 19.

NOTE: With the battery installed and utility power available to the Transfer Switch, the battery receives a trickle charge whenever the engine is not running.The trickle charge only prevents self-discharge and cannot be used to recharge a battery that is completely discharged.

Fuel Supply System

Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and without leaks.

Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic operation is desired.

Battery Connection

The Standby Generator is supplied with a 12 Volt DC

33 Amp-Hour battery. It is a sealed, lead-acid rechargeable battery. It is installed in the unit and the battery cables are connected at the factory.The generator’s 15 Amp fuse has been removed to prevent the battery from discharging and the unit from starting during shipping.

If it is necessary to service the battery, proceed as follows:

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

2.Pull service disconnect from disconnect box.

3.Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.

4.Service or replace battery as required.

5.Connect red battery cable to positive battery terminal (indicated by POSITIVE, POS, or (+).

6.Connect black battery cable to negative battery terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-).

FUEL SYSTEM SELECTION

The engine of your Standby Generator is factory calibrated to run on natural gas (NG). It may also be operated on liquid propane (LP).

To configure the fuel system for LP use:

1.LP fuel inlet pressure must be between 11 and 14 inches water column.

2.Set AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.

3.Pull service disconnect from disconnect box.

4.Remove 15 Amp fuse.

5.Change main jet in fuel mixer following instruction sheet provided in LP conversion kit.

NOTE: You will need a specialty tool, as described on page 9, to change the main jet.

6.Reinstall 15 Amp fuse.

7.Reinstall service disconnect in disconnect box.
