Equipment Description
This product is intended only for use as an optional
generator system to provide 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 Only models equipped with the MRS19 controller
qualify for either an emergency standby or legally required
standby system as defined by NFPA 70 (NEC). For complete
information on these types of installations, consult NFPA 70
and NFPA 110.
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.
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

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. Store and unpack the unit with the proper
side up, as noted on the shipping carton.
After removing the 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.
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).

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.
