GENERAL HAZARDS
For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment
be installed, serviced and repaired by a Service Dealer or other
competent, qualified electrician or installation technician who is familiar
with applicable codes, standards and regulations. The operator also
must comply with all such codes, standards and regulations.
The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which
can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient
concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. Do
NOT alter or add to the exhaust system or do anything that might
render the system unsafe or in noncompliance with applicable
codes and standards.
Install a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm indoors,
according to manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations.
Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is
critical to correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation
or permit even partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this
can seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator
MUST be installed and operated outdoors only.
Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive belts, fans, and
other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan
guard while the unit is operating.
When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Never
work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.
Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest Dealer for
parts needing repair or replacement.
Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect
its battery cables to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the
cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or
(–) first, then remove the POSITIVE, POS or (+) cable. When
reconnecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, the
NEGATIVE cable last.
Never use the generator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on
the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous
operating conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil
leakage, etc.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical
voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers
extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer switch as
does the standby generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact
with bare wires, terminals, connections, etc., while the unit is
running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are
in place, secured and/or locked before operating the generator.
If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an
insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water,
while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame and external
electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an
approved earth ground. Local electrical codes also may require proper
grounding of the generator electrical system.
After installing this home standby electrical system, the generator
may crank and start at any time without warning. When this
occurs, load circuits are transferred to the STANDBY (generator)
power source. To prevent possible injury if such a start and
transfer occur, always set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
switch to its OFF position before working on equipment and
remove the 15A fuse from the generator control panel.
In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down
the source of electrical power. If this is not possible, attempt to free
the victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope
or board, to free the victim from the live conductor. If the victim is
unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.
Never wear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can
conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in
moving components causing injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained
properly. Installation must always comply with applicable
codes, standards, laws and regulations. Adhere strictly to local,
state and national electrical and building codes. Comply with
regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is
installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations. Following proper installation, do nothing that
might alter a safe installation and render the unit in noncompliance
with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times.
Extinguishers rated “ABC” by the National Fire Protection
Association are appropriate for use on the standby electric system.
Keep the extinguisher properly charged and be familiar with its use.
Consult the local fire department with any questions pertaining to
fire extinguishers.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills
immediately. Ensure that no combustible materials are left in the
generator compartment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or
EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator
clean and free from debris.
Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP)
gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. Install the fuel supply system
according to applicable fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home
standby electric system into service, fuel system lines must be
properly purged and leak tested according to applicable code.
After installation, inspect the fuel system periodically for leaks. No
leakage is permitted.
Safety Rules

ENGINE EXHAUST HAZARDS
Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide, an
odorless, colorless poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide
can cause: dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular
twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness and sleepiness, inability
to think clearly, fainting, unconsciousness or even death. If you
experience any carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms, move into
fresh air and immediately seek medical attention.
Never operate the generator set with the generator inside any
garage or other enclosed area EVEN IF doors and windows are
open.

UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage.
This standby generator set is ready for installation with a factory
supplied and pre-mounted base pad and has a weather protective
enclosure that is intended for outdoor installation only.
This UL listed, 2-pole switch is rated at 100 or 200 AC amperes at
250 volts maximum. The 100 Amp transfer switch is for indoor
use only. The 200 Amp transfer switch is for indoor/outdoor use
(if equipped).
If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power
source, it is required by code to install a transfer
switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolate
the electrical system from the utility distribution
system when the generator is operating (NEC 700,
701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electrical system
by such means will result in damage to the gen-
erator and also may result in injury or death to
utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical
energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s)
making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their
signature under the consignor’s memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged
materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage to the contents
of a package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery, but is
discovered later.
To properly open the roof, press down on the center top lip and
release the latch. If pressure is not applied from the top, the roof may
appear stuck. Always verify that the side lock is unlocked before
attempting to lift the roof.
NEC REQUIREMENTS
Local code enforcement may require that AFCI’s be incorporated
into the transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch
provided with this generator has a distribution panel that will
accept AFCI’s.

SITE PREPARATION AND GENERATOR
PLACEMENT
1. Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer
switch and fuel supply.
Leave adequate room around the area for service access
(check local code), and place high enough to keep rising
water from reaching the generator.
Choose an open space that will provide adequate and
unobstructed airflow (see the “Location” section in the
Owner’s Manual).
General Information
5
2. Place the unit so air vents won’t become clogged with leaves,
grass, snow or debris. Make sure exhaust fumes will not enter
the building through eaves, windows, ventilation fans or other
air intakes.
Refer to the local codes and standards for the proper distance
between the unit and the building/structure.
Dig a rectangular area approximately five inches deep and
about six inches longer and wider than the footprint of the
generator. Cover with polyurethane film and fill with pea gravel
or crushed stone. Compact and level the stone. A concrete
pad can be poured if desired.
3. Inspect the generator for shipping damage and if necessary,
file a claim with the shipper.
Remove the bands holding the generator to the wooden pallet.
4. Make sure the lifting equipment to be used has sufficient
capacity to safely handle the weight of the generator.
Use nylon lifting straps and connect them to the lifting eyes
on each corner of the base frame to avoid damaging the
enclosure.
5. Set the generator onto the pad so that the gravel bed extends
several inches beyond the generator on all sides.
Make sure the generator is level within ½ inch.
6. Connect an approved ground strap to the grounding lug on the
base frame and to an approved earth ground or grounding rod
as specified by local regulations.
7. Check the engine oil and, if necessary, add enough of the
recommended oil to bring the level up to the FULL mark on
the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill the crankcase.
CONVERTING TO LP VAPOR
1. The generator was configured for natural gas operation at the
factory. Switching over to LP Vapor is a simple procedure.
On models with a single cylinder engine, begin by
disconnecting and removing the battery if installed.
General Information
6
2. Take the plastic T-handle fuel selector in the poly bag supplied
with the generator and locate the selector tab on the air box
cover. Insert the pin end into the hole in the selector tab
and pull outward to overcome spring pressure. Then twist
clockwise 90 degrees and allow the selector to return in once
aligned with the LP position.
3. On 10 kW units, open the roof, loosen the forward clamp
on the air inlet hose, and slide the hose away from the hose
fitting.
4. Slide the fuel selector pin on the carburetor out towards the
back of the enclosure.
5. Replace the inlet hose and tighten the clamp securely.
6. On all other models, simply remove the air cleaner cover and
slide the fuel selector pin outward from the natural gas to the
LP position.
INSTALLING & CONNECTING GAS LINES
1. Both natural gas and LP Vapor are highly volatile substances,
so strict adherence to all safety procedures, codes, standards
and regulations is essential.
Gas line connections should be made by a certified plumber
familiar with local codes. Always use AGA-approved gas pipe
and a quality pipe sealant or joint compound.
Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the LP tank in
regards to providing sufficient fuel for both the generator and
other operating appliances.
2. Most applications will require an external manual shutoff valve
on the fuel line.
General Information
7
3. Where the gas line is to enter the generator, install a T-fitting
to allow for gas pressure monitoring. On one opening of the
fitting install a ¼” NPT nipple and threaded plug. In some
cases a sediment trap may also be installed.
4. When connecting the gas line to the generator, use the
provided section of UL Listed or AGA-approved flexible fuel
line in accordance with local regulations. The purpose of the
flexible fuel line is to ensure that vibration from the generator
does not cause a gas leak at one of the connection points, so
it’s important that the line be installed with as few bends as
possible.
5. Never bend the flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow.
Bending the flexible line decreases its ability to absorb
vibrations and defeats its purpose as well as constricts the
actual fuel flow.
6. After checking for leaks, check the gas pressure at the
T-fitting installed earlier to make sure there’s enough pressure
for proper generator operation.
The local gas supplier is responsible for ensuring adequate
pressure, so if the pressure is too low, or if it’s greater than
14 inches of water column, contact the gas supplier.
7. When finished checking the gas pressure, close the manual
shutoff valve.
EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Drill a 1 ¾ inch hole and feed the conduit through the hole.
General Information
8
2. Remove the knockout in the back of the connection box (if
used), feed the wires through the back of the box and secure
the conduit with the lock nut.
Seal the hole with silicone caulk. Don’t forget to caulk the hole
inside the house as well.
3. Mount the connection box (if used) so that it completely covers the
hole in the wall. Caulk around the sides and top of the box to ensure
a good seal.
Connect all wires to the lugs in the connection box (black to black,
red to red and white to white). Attach the green ground wire to
the ground screw and connect the two small plugs to their mating
receptacle ends.
4. Replace the protective cover plate and retaining screw, and
lock the connection box.
5. For 10-20 kW models, locate the metal hasp that is packaged
in the owner’s manual bag. Insert the hasp in the slot located
on the left side of the external circuit breaker box. Be sure that
the clip of the hasp is facing toward the front of the generator.
If desired, lock the external box.
GENERATOR ACTIVATION
