Placement of Standby Generator to REDUCE THE RISK OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
The figure below demonstrates POTENTIAL points of entry for Carbon Monoxide Gas.
All fossil fuel burning equipment, such as standby
generators, contains 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 so it is required that the following is
included as part of the installation:
 • Installgeneratoroutdoorsinanareathatwillnot
accumulate deadly exhaust gas.
 • DONOTinstallgeneratorwhereexhaustgascould

Monoxide (CO) detector in operating condition in
homes and other structures occupied by people.
Carbon monoxide detector(s) (A) MUST be
installed and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer’s instructions / recommendations.
A CO monitor is an electric 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.

The Gaseous Fuel System
The information below is provided to assist gaseous fuel
system technicians in planning installations. In no way
should this information be interpreted to conflict with
applicable fuel gas codes. Consult with your local fuel
supplier or Fire Marshall if questions or problems arise.
TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with the generator owner(s)
and convey any technical considerations that might
affect their installation plans before applying these
generalguidelines.
The following general rules apply to gaseous fuel
systempiping:
 • Thepipingshouldbeofamaterialthatconformsto
federal and local codes, rigidly mounted and 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flexible,gaseoushose(B) (supplied) between
the generator fuel inlet port (A) and rigid piping to
prevent thermal expansion or contraction from causing
excessive stress on the piping material.
 • Aunion(C) or flanged connection shall be provided
downstream to permit removal of controls.
 • Amanometerportshouldbeprovided(D). A digital
manometer, P/N 19495, is available at your Briggs &
Stratton service center. When the initial test runs are
completed, the manometer is removed and the port
is plugged. The manometer port permits temporary
installation of a manometer to ensure that the engine
receives the correct fuel pressure to operate efficiently
throughout its operatingrange.
 • 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.
 • 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.
 • Amanualfuelshut-offvalvelocatedintheinteriorof
the building.
 • 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maintainthe
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/LPG 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.

F Manual Shut-off Valve
NOTICEThe 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.
WARNING Propane
and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
• LP gas is heavier than air and will settle in low areas.
• Natural gas is lighter than air and will collect in high areas.
• The slightest spark could ignite these fuels and cause
an explosion.
• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Fuel Pipe Sizing
There are numerous on-line or otherwise-published
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 and compensate for a nominal amount of
restriction from bends, fittings, etc. If an unusual number of
fittings, bends, or other restrictions are used, refer to federal
and local codes for guidance.
Fuel Conversion
The unit is shipped from the factory calibrated for NG
operation. To convert the engine from NG to LP vapor, follow
these steps:
1. Set generator circuit breaker to OFF.
2. Set control panel system switch to OFF.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from system control panel.
4. Locate the fuel selector switch (A) . Using a 6 mm
Allen wrench, turn the selector switch to either
LP or NG.
5. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in system control panel.
6. Set exercise timer.
Fuel Pressure
Both LP vapor and natural gas fuel supply pressure at the
generator’s fuel inlet port should be between 7 to 11 inches
(18 to 28 cm) of water (in. W.C.) at full load with all gas
appliances turned on and operating. Maximum pressure with
engine OFF at No Load is 13.85 psi.
Power Loss
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less available
engine power. Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5%
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 located in these
conditions must have their transfer switch programmed
appropriately for this power decrease.
Fuel Consumption
Estimated fuel supply requirements at half and full load for
natural gas and LP vapor fuels are shown here.
