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.

Before Installation

Only current licensed electrical and plumbing professionals

should attempt generator system installations. Installations

must strictly comply with all applicable codes, industry

standards, laws, and regulations.

In some areas you may need electrical permits for installing

the generator, building permits for intalling gas lines, and

permits for noise allowances. The installer should check local

codes and obtain the necessary permits before installing the

system.

The generator warranty is VOID unless the system is

installed by licensed electrical and plumbing professionals.

Installer Responsibilities

• Read and observe the safety instructions.

• Install only a UL-approved transfer switch that is

compatible with the generator.

• Read and follow the instructions in this installation and

operation manual.

• Installation must strictly comply with all applicable

codes, industry standards, laws, and regulations.

• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for

maintenance and servicing.

Owner Responsibilities

• Read and follow the instructions in this installation and

operation manual.

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

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.

• USE ONLY the flexible steel fuel line provided.

Connect provided fuel line to generator. DO NOT use

with or substitute any other flexible fuel line.

• 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)

• Windows (not shown)

• Other openings that could allow exhaust gas to enter

inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building

or structure.

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 (shown below)

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).

• 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 gaseous 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 the supplied flexible gaseous 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 supplied flexible gaseous pipe is not to be

installed underground or in contact with the ground. The

entire flexible gaseous pipe must be visible for periodic

inspection and must not be concealed within nor contact nor

run through any wall, floor, or partition.

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

downstream to permit removal of controls.

• A manometer test port (D) should be installed. 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. When the initial test

runs are completed, the manometer is removed and the

port is plugged.

• 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

There are numerous on-line or printed references for fuel

pipe sizing. For example, NFPA 54 - National Fuel Gas

Code, 2006 (Item #320-6031-06) is a common resource.

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.

Fuel Conversion

The engine was set at the factory to run on natural gas (NG).

To convert the engine to run on liquid propane (LP Vapor), or

to change back to NG later, follow these steps:

1. Open the controller door.

2. Locate fuel selector switch on side of circuit breaker

enclosure.

3. Move the switch (A, below) to LP or NG.

4. Close the controller door.

Type of Fuel to Use

An important consideration affecting the entire

installation is the type of fuel to be supplied. The system

was tested and adjusted at the factory using either

natural gas or liquid propane (LP vapor). For proper

engine function, follow these guidelines:

• Use clean, dry fuel, free of moisture or any

particulate material.

• For engines running on propane (LP), use

commercial grade HD5 propane with a minimum

fuel energy of 2500 BTU/ft³ with maximum

propylene content of 5% and butane and heavier

gas content of 2.5% and minimum propane

content of 90%.

• For engines running on natural gas, power output

ratings will depend on the specific fuel but typical

derates are between 10 to 20% off the LP rating.

Using fuels outside the recommended values may

cause performance problems.

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.

A

Fuel Pressure

Both LP vapor and natural gas fuel supply pressure at

the generator fuel inlet 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).

Power Loss

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 m) above sea

level and 1% for each 10°F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C).

Generators using power management technology must

have the transfer switch programmed appropriately for

this power decrease.
