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 standby generator
system installations. Installations must strictly comply with all
applicable codes, industry standards, laws and regulations.
Your standby generator is supplied with this “Operator’s
Manual” and a separate “Installation and Start-Up Manual.”
These are important documents and should be retained by
the owner after the installation has been completed.
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.
This product is only for use as an optional generator system
which provides an alternate source of electric power and
to serve loads such as heating, refrigeration systems, and
communication systems that, when stopped during any
power outage, could cause discomfort or inconvenience.
NOTICE This product does NOT qualify for either an
emergency standby or legally required standby system as
defined by NFPA 70 (NEC).
Emergency generator systems are intended to automatically
supply illumination, power, or both, to designated areas
and equipment in the event of failure of the normal supply.
Emergency systems may also provide power for such
functions as ventilation where essential to maintain life,
where current interruption of the normal supply would
produce serious life safety or health hazards.
Legally Required standby generator systems are intended
to automatically supply power to selected loads in the
event of failure of the normal source which could create
hazards or hamper rescue or fire-fighting operations.
For the Standby 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 generator installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which
you purchased your generator, your dealer, a licensed
electrician or your utility power provider.
The generator warranty is VOID unless the system is
installed by licensed electrical and plumbing professionals.
The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted
for standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:
For most applications, the installation manual contains all
the information required to properly install and start the
generator. This operator’s manual describes routine operation
and owner maintenanceprocedures.
If you need more information in this matter, please call at
800-732-2989 between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT.
Owner Orientation
This section provides generator 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 generator. 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 generator installation.
In some areas you may need to acquire electrical permits for
installing the generator, 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 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM
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
BTUs/ft3 with maximum propylene content of 5% and
butane and heavier gas content of 2.5% and minimum
propane content of 90%.
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% for
each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for each
10°F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C). Make sure you and your installer
consider these factors when determining total generator load.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could
cause burns, fire or explosion resulting
in death or serious injury.
The generator is equipped with an automatic safety gas
“fuel shut-off” valve.
DO NOT operate the equipment if the “fuel shut-off” valve
is missing or inoperative.
Generator Location
The actual physical location of your generator has a direct
affect on:
1. The amount of plumbing required to fuel your generator.
2. The amount of wiring required to control and connect
your generator.
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 generator outdoors in an area that will not
accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
DO NOT install generator where exhaust gas could
accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a
potentially occupied building or structure.
By law it is required in many states 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.

Automatic Operation Sequence
The generator’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
6 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 generator 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 generator 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.
Operation
Important Owner’s Considerations
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
generator 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 generator’s 15 Amp fuse is critical to correct system
operation. The 15 Amp fuse was removed at the factory.
Your installer will ensure the fuse is properly installed upon
completion of the installation.
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly serviced with the recommended coolant
and oil will result in equipment failure.
Refer to the Maintenance section for coolant and oil fill
information.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds - chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION Installing the 15A fuse could cause the
engine to start at any time without warning
resulting in minor or moderate injury.
Observe that the 15 Amp fuse has been removed from the
control panel for shipping.
DO NOT install this fuse until all plumbing and wiring has
been completed and inspected.
