Installation Factors to Consider

The illustrations shown in this manual are for typical

circumstances. They are meant to familiarize you with the

installation options available for the generator.

Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel

types, and distances are installation factors that must be

considered. Remember that, as the distance increases

from the existing electrical service and gaseous fuel supply,

and the number of bends in the fuel supply increases,

compensations must be made for piping and wiring

materials. 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 effect on the

overall price of the generator installation.

Delivery Inspection

Avoid damage from dropping, bumping, or collision with the

shipping carton.

Carefully inspect the generator for any damage that may

have occurred during shipment.

Installation

Before deciding on the final placement of the generator, the owner and installer must discuss and understand several

location guidelines. There are two critical safety concerns to be addressed - carbon monoxide poisoning and the risk of fire,

as follows:

WARNING Running engine gives off carbon monoxide, an

odorless, colorless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide could result in death, serious

injury, headache, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting, confusion,

seizures, nausea or fainting.

• Operate this product ONLY outdoors in an area that will not

accumulate deadly exhaust gas.

• Keep exhaust gas 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.

• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and

maintained indoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon

monoxide gas.

WARNING

Exhaust heat or gases could ignite

combustibles or structures resulting in death or

serious injury.

• Exhaust outlet end of standby enclosure must be at

least 5 ft (1.5 m) from any structure, shrubs, trees or

any kind of vegetation.

• Standby enclosure must be at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from

windows, doors, any wall opening, shrubs, or

vegetation over 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height.

• Standby enclosure must have at least 5 feet (1.5 m)

overhead clearance from any structure, overhang, or trees.

• DO NOT place standby enclosure under a deck or

other type of structure that may confine airflow.

• Smoke detectors MUST be installed and maintained

indoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions

and recommendations. Carbon monoxide alarms

cannot detect smoke.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Follow the installation requirements listed below. The figure below illustrates potential points of entry for carbon monoxide

gas.

Ensure that generator exhaust gas is kept away from:

• Overhead doors (B, shown above)

• Entrance doors (C, shown above)

10 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM

All fossil fuel burning products, such as standby

generators, emit carbon monoxide (CO) gas in the

engine exhaust. CO gas is odorless, colorless and

tasteless and is unlikely to be noticed until a person is

overcome. CO gas can kill you. It is required that the

following be included as part of the installation:

• Install the generator outdoors in an area that

will not accumulate deadly exhaust gas.

• DO NOT install the generator where exhaust

gas could accumulate and enter inside or be

drawn into a potentially occupied building or

structure.

• Nearby structures may be exposed to the engine

exhaust from the unit and must be considered

when installing the standby generator.

• Wind and air currents should be taken into

consideration when positioning the generator.

Place the generator in an area where winds will

carry the exhaust gas away from any potentially

occupied building or structure.

• DO NOT place the standby generator in any area

where leaves or debris normally accumulate.

• By law, many states require a fully operating

Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector in homes

and other structures occupied by people.

Carbon monoxide detectors MUST be

installed and maintained indoors according

to the manufacturer’s instructions and

recommendations. A carbon monoxide detector

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

a visual indicator light and sounding an alarm.

Smoke alarms cannot detect CO gas.

• Direct the standby generator exhaust (A, shown

below) away from or parallel to the building or

structure. DO NOT direct the generator exhaust

towards a potentially occupied building, structure,

windows, doors, ventilation intakes, soffit vents,

crawl spaces, open garage doors, or other openings

where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter

inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied

building or structure.

The engine exhaust exits the top of the housing (A).

• A minimum of one accessible, approved manual

shutoff valve (F) shall be installed in the fuel supply

line within 6 ft (180 cm) of the generator.

• Where local conditions include earthquake,

tornado, unstable ground, or flood hazards, special

consideration shall be given to increase strength and

flexibility of piping supports and connections.

• Piping must be of the correct size to maintain the

required supply pressures and volume flow under

varying generator load conditions with all gas

appliances connected to the fuel system turned on

and operating.

• Use a pipe sealant or joint compound approved for

use with NG/LP on all threaded fittings to reduce the

possibility of leakage.

• Installed piping must be properly purged and

leak tested, in accordance with applicable codes

and standards.

The owner and installer should consult one another to review

any changes to the installation plan that might arise when

applying the following guidelines for fuel plumbing.

• The piping material must conform to federal and local

codes, be rigidly mounted, and be protected against

vibration.

• Piping should be protected from physical damage

where it passes through flower beds, shrub beds, and

other cultivated areas where damage could occur.

• Install a flexible hose (B, at right) between the

generator fuel inlet port (A) and the rigid piping to

prevent thermal expansion and contraction from

causing excessive stress on the piping material.

NOTICE

The flexible fuel pipe is not to be installed

underground or in contact with the ground. The entire flexible

gaseous pipe must be visible for periodic inspection.

• A union (C) or flanged connection shall be provided

downstream to permit removal of controls.

• A manometer test port (D) should be installed for

vapor fuels. The port permits temporary installation

of a manometer to check whether the engine is

receiving the correct fuel pressure to operate efficiently

throughout its operating range. A digital manometer

(P/N 19495) is available at your service center for

vapor fuels only. For liquid propane any pressure

measurement instrument rated for liquid propane and

350 psi can be used. When the initial test runs are

completed, the manometer is removed and the port is

plugged.

• For vapor fuels only: Where the formation of hydrates

or ice is known to occur, piping should be protected

against freezing. The termination of hard piping should

include a sediment trap (E) where condensate is not

likely to freeze.

Fuel Pipe Sizing

NFPA 54 and 58 are common resources. The installer

should consider the specific gravity of gas, compensate for

a nominal amount of restriction from bends and fittings, and

refer to federal and local codes for guidance.

Type of Fuel to Use

An important consideration affecting the entire

installation is the type of fuel to be supplied. For

proper engine function, use clean, dry fuel, free of

moisture or any particulate material. Using fuels

outside the recommended values may cause

performance problems.

Fuel Pressure

Fuel supply pressure at the generator fuel inlet port (or

vaporizer test port) should be 7 - 11 inch WC (17 - 28

mBar) at full load and with all gas appliances turned

on and operating. Maximum pressure drop from static

(engine not running) to full load is 0.5 inch WC (1.3

mbar). Maximum pressure with engine OFF at no load

is 13.85 inch WC (34.5 mbar). Liquid propane fuel

pressure at generator inlet should be 100-250 psi (690-

1725 kPa)

Power Loss

Engine power will decrease 3% for each 1,000 feet

(300 m) above sea level and 1% for each 10°F (5.6°C)

above 77°F (25°C).

WARNING

Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive,

which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death

or serious injury.

• The generator is equipped with automatic safety “fuel

shut-off” valve(s).

• DO NOT operate the equipment if the “fuel shut-off”

valves are missing or inoperative.

Initial Start-up (No Load)

Before operating the generator or placing it into service,

inspect the entire installation carefully. Familiarize yourself

with the location of components and the location and

function of the generator controller. Begin testing the system

without any electrical loads connected, as follows:

1. Check engine oil. Add oil if needed. Refer to engine

manual for type of oil required.

2. Set the generator main circuit breaker to OFF (open)

position.

3. Start the generator. When the generator is started

for the first time, air in the gaseous fuel lines will be

purged. This may cause the engine to run rough for a

few minutes.

4. Listen for unusual noises, vibration, or other

indications of abnormal operation. Check for oil and

coolant leaks while the engine runs.

5. Let the engine warm up for 5 minutes.

6. Check generator output at line side of circuit breaker.

No-load voltage should be as shown in the chart

below. Frequency should be 59.8 - 60.2 Hz.

NOTE

If the no-load voltage is outside the specified

range, perform the automatic voltage regulator (AVR)

adjustment in Step 8. Do not proceed until the AC

voltage is within the specified range.

7. Check voltage output between each of the circuit

breaker connection lugs and the neutral lug. No-load

voltage should be as shown in the chart below.

8. If necessary, adjust the AVR voltage control (A) to

obtain the range specified. DO NOT adjust any of the

other alternator controls.

9. Ensure that the transfer switch is in the "UTILITY"

position and that there is no load present on the

generator.

10. Set the generator main circuit breaker to ON

(closed) position.

11. Use a phase rotation meter to verify that output at the

load side of the circuit breaker matches utility power.

On high-leg delta systems, ensure that the high-leg

position of the generator matches the high-leg position

of the utility power.

12. Stop the generator.
