*Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine power and condition, etc. Maximum power decreases about 3.5 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6° C (10° F) above 16° C (60° F) ambient temperature.

**Load current values shown for 120 volts are maximum TOTAL values for two separate circuits. The maximum current in each circuit must not exceed the value stated for 240 volts.

1.6SYSTEM SET LED

The “System Set” LED is lit when all of the following conditions are true:

1.The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the AUTO position.

2.The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is being sensed by the PCB. If the utility sense voltage is not connected to the unit or if it is below 168 volts AC, then the system set light will flash rapidly. This indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch is placed in the Auto position, the generator will start.

3.The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFF position on the control board.

4.No alarms are present, for example, low oil pressure, high temperature, etc.

1.7FUEL REQUIREMENTS

AND RECOMMENDATIONS

With LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawal system. This type of system uses the vapors formed above the liquid fuel in the storage tank. The engine has been fitted with a fuel carburetion system that meets the specifications of the 1997 California Air Resources Board for tamper-proof dual fuel systems. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas, but it has been factory set to run on natural gas.
