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.

10000 Watt specifications

Briggs & Stratton has long been synonymous with quality engines and power products, and their 10,000-watt generator continues to uphold that reputation. This robust generator is designed for both home and professional use, making it suitable for emergency backups and job site applications alike. Its impressive power output is one of its standout features, providing ample electricity to run essential appliances, tools, and electronics during outages or in remote locations.

One of the primary features of the Briggs & Stratton 10,000-watt generator is its durable engine. The generator is equipped with a powerful 420cc OHV engine, which is designed for reliable performance under heavy loads. This engine is built to last, thanks to its rugged construction and reliable cooling system, ensuring optimal performance even during extended operating periods.

An essential characteristic of this generator is its impressive runtime. With a 7-gallon fuel tank, it can run for up to 9 hours at a 50% load, providing an extended period of power without the need for constant refueling. The inclusion of a fuel gauge allows users to check the fuel level easily, ensuring that they remain informed about fuel availability during usage.

The generator comes with an array of outlets, including multiple 120V household outlets, a 120/240V twist-lock outlet, and a USB port, enabling users to connect various devices simultaneously. This range of output options provides versatility for users who may need to power multiple appliances at once, whether it be during a blackout or at a job site.

In terms of technology, the Briggs & Stratton 10,000-watt generator features a self-diagnostic tool that monitors its performance and alerts the user to any potential issues before they become significant problems. This proactive approach to maintenance helps ensure that the generator remains in peak operating condition.

Another notable technology is the integrated idle control feature, which automatically adjusts the engine speed based on the load requirement. This not only improves fuel efficiency but also reduces noise levels, making it less obtrusive during use.

Additionally, the generator features a compact design with sturdy wheels for easy transport. Its durable frame is built to withstand rugged environments, while the folding handles make setup and storage convenient. Overall, the Briggs & Stratton 10,000-watt generator is an excellent choice for those seeking reliable power in various settings, combining strength, efficiency, and user-friendly features.
