Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage. For this

reason, we have made every effort to provide for

a safe, streamlined and cost-effective installation.

Because each installation is unique, it is impossible

to know of and advise the trade of all conceivable

procedures and methods by which installation might be

achieved. Neither could we know of possible hazards

and/or the results of each method or procedure.

For these reasons, only current licensed electrical

and plumbing professionals should attempt

generating set system installations. Installations

must strictly comply with all applicable codes,

industry standards and regulations.

Your generating set is supplied with this “Operator’s

Manual” and a separate “Installation Manual.” These

are important documents and should be retained by

the owner after the installation has been completed.

For the Owner:

To help you make informed choices and communicate

effectively with your installation contractor(s), read

and understand Owner Orientation in this manual

before contracting or starting your generating

set installation.

To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at

which you purchased your generating set, your dealer,

a licensed electrician or your utility power provider.

The generating set warranty is VOID unless the

system is installed by licensed electrical and

plumbing professionals.

Every effort has been made to ensure that information

in this manual is accurate and current. However, we

reserve the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve

the product and this document at any time without prior

notice.

For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:

For most applications, the installation manual contains

all the information required to properly install and start

the generating set. This operator’s manual describes

routine operation and owner maintenance procedures.

Owner Orientation

This section provides generating set owners with the

information necessary to achieve the most satisfactory

and cost effective installation possible.

The illustrations are for typical circumstances and

are meant to familiarize you with the installation

options available with your generating set. A

thorough understanding of these options will provide

fundamental control over the cost of your installation,

as well as ensure your final satisfaction and security.

Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels,

fuel types, and distances are the factors that must

be considered when negotiating with an installation

professional. Remember that as the distance from the

existing electrical service and gaseous fuel supply

increases, and the number of 90 degree bends in the

fuel supply increases, compensations in piping and

wiring materials must be made. This is necessary

to comply with local codes and overcome electrical

voltage drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.

The factors mentioned above will have a direct

affect on the overall price of your generating set

installation.

In some areas you may need to acquire electrical

permits for installing the generating set, building

permits for installing gas lines, and permits for noise

allowances. Your installer should check your local

codes AND obtain the permits before installing the

system.

8

Fuel Factors

An important consideration affecting the entire

installation is the type of fuel used by your generating

set. 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 93 MJ/m

3

at standard temperature

and pressure, with maximum propylene content of

5% and butane and heavier gas content of 2.5%

and minimum propane content of 90%.

Natural gas rating will depend on specific fuel but

typical derates are between 10 to 20% off the LP gas

rating.

Natural gas or LP engines are certified to operate on

natural or liquid propane gas. The emissions control

system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

Power Decrease at High Altitude or High

Temperature

Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less

available engine power. Specifically, engine power

will decrease 3.5% for each 300 meters above sea

level and 1% for each 5.6°C above 25°C. Make sure

you and your installer consider these factors when

determining total generating set load.

WARNING Propane and Natural Gas are

extremely flammable and explosive,

which could cause burns, fire or

explosion resulting in death or serious

injury.

• DO NOT operate the equipment if the emergency

“fuel shut-off” valve is missing or inoperative.

• After the generating set is installed, you should

inspect the fuel system periodically.

• NO leakage is permitted.

• DO NOT operate engine if smell of fuel is present or

other explosive conditions exist.

• DO NOT smoke around the generating set. Wipe

up any oil spills immediately. Ensure that no

combustible materials are left in the generating set

compartment. Keep the area near the generating

set clean and free of debris.

9

Generating Set Location

The actual physical location of your generating set has

a direct affect on:

1. The amount of plumbing required to fuel

your generating set.

2. The amount of wiring required to control and

connect your generating set.

Specific location guidelines are discussed in the

installation manual. Acquaint yourself with that

information and confer with your installer. Be sure to

ask how your site might affect installation costs and

compliance with local codes and standards.

• Install generating set outdoors in an area that will

not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.

• DO NOT install generating set where exhaust gas

could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn

into a potentially occupied building or structure.

• It may be required to have a Carbon Monoxide

(CO) detector in operating condition in your

home. Carbon monoxide detector(s) (A) MUST

be installed and maintained indoors according to

the manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations.

A CO monitor is an electronic device that detects

hazardous levels of CO. When there is a buildup

of CO, the monitor will alert the occupants by

flashing visual indicator light and alarm. Smoke

alarms cannot detect CO gas.

• Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any

windows, doors, ventilation intakes, soffit vents,

crawl spaces, open garage doors or other

openings that can allow exhaust gas to enter

inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied

building or structure. Your neighbor’s may

be exposed to the engine exhaust from your

generating set and must be considered when

installing the unit.

• Wind and air currents should be taken into

consideration when positioning the unit.

See the installation manual for full details on safe

generating set location.

Engine Oil

The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and

filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows

for system operation in a wide range of temperature

and climate conditions. Before starting the engine,

check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as

described in Maintenance.

Battery

The installer must supply a rechargeable 12 volt

DC starting battery. See Battery in Final Installation

Considerations in the installation manual.

With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch

and generating set completed, utility power supplied

to the automatic transfer switch, and the unit in

AUTO mode, the battery receives a trickle charge

while the engine is not running. The trickle charge

cannot be used to recharge a battery that is

completely

discharged.

15 Amp Fuse

The generating set’s 15 Amp fuse is critical to correct

system operation. The 15 Amp fuse was removed

at the factory to prevent the unit from starting during

shipping. Your installer will ensure the fuse is properly

installed upon completion of the installation.

Overload Protection Fuse

The generating set is protected by a fuse in series with

it’s excitation coil.

Automatic Operation Sequence

The generating set’s control board constantly monitors

utility voltage. Should utility voltage drop below a

preset level, the control board will signal the engine to

crank and start.

When utility 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 3 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 voltage. When utility

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 utility power is sensed and the load transfers to

the utility source, the engine will go into a cool down

period as described below:

• If the generating set has run for MORE than

5 minutes, once the utility transfer occurs, the

engine will continue to run for about 1 minute

before shutting down.

• If the generating set has run for LESS than 5

minutes, once the utility transfer occurs, the

engine will continue to run until 5 minutes has

elapsed before shutting down.

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine

before it has been properly serviced with the

recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

• DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before

it has been properly serviced with the recommended

oil. This may result in an engine failure.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow

this instruction will void generating set warranty.

CAUTION With the system switch set to AUTO,

the engine could crank and start at any

time without warning, resulting in minor or

moderate injury.

• To prevent possible injury that may be caused by

such sudden starts, always set the system switch to

OFF if performing maintenance on the system.

• Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or

around the generating set or transfer switch.

Setting Exercise Timer

The generating set is equipped with an exercise

timer. During the exercise period, the unit runs for

approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down.

Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during the

exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs).

The generating set will only enter the exercise cycle if

the unit is in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure

is followed.

To set the exercise timer:

NOTICE The generating set is preset with an exercise

cycle of Tuesday at 2:00 PM, Central Time. To change

the cycle setting, proceed to the following steps:

1. Choose the day and time you want your

generating set to exercise.

2. Press and hold the left arrow and right arrow

simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter the General

Set-Up program mode. See General Set-Up flow

chart in Menu Section.

3. Verify and/or set the time and date on the unit.

4. Go to the SET EXERCISE prompt and hit the “OK”

button.

NOTICE Items will flash until they are selected.

SELECT DAY: Use the left or right arrow to toggle

through the days of the week, Once the day is

selected, hit the “OK” button.

SELECT HOUR: Use the left or right arrow

to toggle through between 1 and 12. Choose

the hour of day you want the generating set to

exercise then hit the “OK” button.

SELECT MINUTE: Use the left of right arrow to

toggle between :00 and :59. Choose the minute

of the day you want the generating set to exercise

then hit the “OK” button.

SELECT AM/PM: Use the left of right arrow to

toggle between AM and PM. Once chosen, hit the

“OK” button.

NOTICE During the weekly exercise cycle, the

generating set will run for 20 minutes, but it will not

supply power to the home.

If you want to change the day and time the unit

exercises, simply perform the procedure again.

To turn off the generating set exercise cycle, go to

the OFF selection within the day of the week menu

and press OK. The display will then scroll: EXERCISE

CYCLE OFF.
