3 200-2653 Do not attempt to install the generator yourself. Extremely high and dangerous electrical voltages are present in utility power source lines and in generator load leads when the unit is running. Therefore, be sure to turn OFF all power voltage supplies at their source before attempting to complete electrical connections.
200-2653 4 The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an approved earth ground.
5 200-2653 The stationary standby electric generator is manufactured for our customers to supply reliable backup power. The generator is a compact unit, designed to supply the power for your critical needs when utility power fails.

200-2653 8 For proper ventilation and maintenance, locate the generator outdoors in an area that will allow a minimum of three feet or more of clearance between the generator and any other structure. Note: Check your local building codes for clearance requirements for your area.
9 200-2653 When connecting the generator to a building electrical distribution system, use of a transfer switch is recommended to isolate the normal utility source from the generator supply.
200-2653 10 Once the generator is anchored in its final position, it is ready for electrical connections. The generator is supplied with two terminal blocks for connection of three distinct electrical circuits; main line output power, utility power input and generator start signal.
11 200-2653 A receptacle is provided with the generator to power the battery charger for reliable starting. It is also intended to power an optional block heater if that option is desired. Connection of this circuit to a power supply that is only present when normal utility power is supplied is recommended.

13 200-2653 The engine driving the generator is engineered to provide reliable power on either Liquefied Propane Vapor (LPG) or Natural Gas. For proper operation on these fuels, it is important to deliver gas with adequate energy content, at sufficient pressure and flow rate.
200-2653 14 After electrical connections are complete, the next installation step is to connect a fuel supply to the unit. The fuel inlet fitting supplied with the generator is male 3/4" NPT.
15 200-2653 To insure reliable starting in most weather conditions, it is important to properly match a battery to the requirements of the generator. The generator uses a 12 Volt, direct current, negative ground control system powered by an automotive style lead acid battery.
200-2653 16 To install the battery, begin by placing the battery ( A ) into the battery rack as shown in Fig G. After the battery is in the rack, begin attaching the battery cables to the battery posts, starting with the positive (+), or red, cable ( B ).
17 200-2653 After completing all installation procedures, read and understand the operating instructions for the generator controller. Know how the control panel operates, what to expect when activating control panel switches and how to shut the generator off in the event of an emergency.
200-2653 18 A standby generator is an engine driven air cooled system to convert the energy contained in either liquid propane vapor or natural gas to electrical power.
19 200-2653 RUN MODES There are three run mode options: Run , Off and Auto . When the Run pushbutton is pressed the unit will immediately start and the “not in auto” light will illuminate. In Run mode, the generator will continue to run until the Off pushbutton is pressed to stop the unit.
200-2653 20 Status indicator lights relay conditions of generator function for user or service technician convenience. Illumination of these indicator lights communicate conditions that require generator service but are not severe enough to cause damage if the generator is allowed to operate.

200-2653 22 Prior to checking the oil level, start the generator by moving the Mode switch on the control panel to the RUN position. Allow the generator to run for one or two minutes, then shut it down by returning the switch to the OFF position.
23 200-2653 Selection of the correct grade and type of engine oil greatly affects the performance of the generator, especially when starting. Before selecting replacement oil for an oil change, consider the anticipated operating conditions the generator may be exposed to.
200-2653 24 The generator engine is equipped with a dry element air filter to block particles in the combustion air from getting into the engine and causing excessive engine wear. Over time this dirt builds-up on the filter, restricting the amount of combustion air available to the engine, in turn leading to a loss of generator power output.
25 200-2653 Engine spark plugs are an important part of the engine ignition system. Worn or incorrectly adjusted spark plugs can negatively affect engine starting and operation. Therefore, it is important to inspect and regap, or replace the engine spark plugs as indicated in the service interval table.
200-2653 26 Proper cooling of the generator is vital to maintain performance and prevent equipment failure. Blocked cabinet openings or other airflow obstructions are potential fire hazards and can cause failures. Periodically inspect generator cabinet openings and the engine oil cooler for blockages.
