Delivery Inspection
Carefully inspect the generator for any damage that may have occurred during shipment.
If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the freight bill and affix his signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the carrier and your installer for claim procedures. Missing or damaged parts are not warranted.
Fuel Factors

An important consideration affecting the entire installation is the type of fuel used by your generator. The system was factory tested and adjusted using either natural gas or liquid propane (LP vapor). For proper engine function, factors that are inherent to each of these fuels, your location and the duration of possible utility interruptions are important considerations in the following fuel guidelines:

• Use clean, dry fuel, free of moisture or any particulate material. Using fuels outside the following recommended values may cause performance problems.

•In engines set up to run on propane (LP), commercial grade HD5 propane with a minimum fuel energy of 2500
