The Gaseous Fuel System
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
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 can ignite these fuels and cause an
explosion.
DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.
The information provided below is 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 home 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 be of 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.
B
A
C
D
E

11
• Install the flexible, gaseous hose (supplied) between
the home generator Fuel Inlet port and rigid piping to
prevent thermal expansion or contraction from causing
excessive stress on the piping material.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION
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,
contact, or run through any wall, floor, or partition.
• 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/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.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
Before placing the home generator into service, the fuel
system lines must be properly purged and leak tested.
NO leakage is permitted.
Consider the following factors when planning to install the
fuel supply system:
• A minimum of one accessible, approved manual shutoff
valve shall be installed in the fuel supply line within
6 ft (1.8 m) of the home generator. A union or flanged
connection shall be provided downstream from this
valve to permit removal of controls.
• LP gas fuel supply pressure should be 7 to 11 inches
of water (in. W.C.) at full load with all gas appliances
turned on and operating.
• Natural gas fuel supply pressure at the generator’s fuel
inlet port should be between 7 to 11 inches of water
(in. W.C.) at full load with all gas appliances turned on
and operating.
The home generator unit has been factory set to run on
natural gas. The unit can be converted from natural gas to
LP gas or vice versa using two people and special tools. See
Fuel Conversion, later in this manual.
It is recommended that the fuel connection incorporate the
following components:
• A minimum 10 ft. (3 m) section of gas pipe between
the primary fuel regulator and the generator fuel inlet
connection (acts as accumulator for high block loads).
• A manual fuel shut-off valve located in the interior of
the building.
• A manual fuel shut-off valve located outside the
building, just before the generator unit.
• 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 where condensate is not likely to freeze.
• A manometer port should be provided.
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.
NOTE: A digital manometer, P/N 19495, is available at your
Briggs & Stratton service center.
12 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM
When the initial test runs are completed, the manometer
is removed and the port is plugged. A typical final fuel
connection assembly is shown here, where (A) is the fuel
supply and (B) goes to the home generator.
Fuel Pipe Sizing
There are numerous on-line or otherwise-published
references for fuel pipe sizing. 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,
please refer to federal and local codes.

Generator AC Connection System
A single-phase, three-wire AC connection system is used in
the home generator. The stator assembly consists of a pair
of stationary windings with two leads brought out of each
winding. The junction of leads T2 and T3 forms the neutral
lead, as shown schematically and as wiring diagram below. A
complete schematic and wiring diagram can be found later in
this manual.
NOTE: Neutral is not bonded to ground at generator.
Grounding the Generator
Ground the home generator per applicable codes, standards
and regulations. There are two generator GND lug locations.
The one inside the alternator junction box next to the
circuit breaker is the primary lug and should meet most
applications. The second generator GND lug is located on the
frame below the generator circuit breaker cover, and should
ONLY be used for a ground rod located at the generator, if
required by local codes. See Controls for location.
Utility Circuit Connection
“240V Utility” leads must be routed in conduit. The
“240V Utility” leads deliver power to the generator’s circuit
board and water heater. This power also charges the battery.
When power on these leads is lost, the generator will start.
Using installer-supplied minimum 300V, 14 AWG copper
wire, connect each ten-amp fuse terminal in the alternator
junction box to the ten-amp fuse terminals in the automatic
transfer switch.
Fault Detection System
The generator may have to run for long periods of time with
no operator present. For that reason, the system is equipped
with sensors that automatically shut down the generator in
the event of potentially damaging conditions, such as low
oil pressure, high water temperature, over speed, and other
conditions. Refer to Fault Detection System in the Operator’s
Manual for more detailed information.
The owner will use the remote LED indicator to observe the
status of the home generator system. Consult with the owner
for a convenient location.
To install the remote LED indicator:
1. Push the LED through the mounting plate from the
front until it snaps in place.
IMPORTANT: The LED is polarity sensitive.
2. Using provided 10 pole connector and installer-supplied
minimum 18AWG wire, connect the remote LED to the
generator control board +LED and GND connection.
Use wire nuts to attach wire to LED leads.
3. Attach mounting plate to installer-supplied electrical box.
NOTE: Locate the electrical box in an area visible by the
home owner such as near a garage door opener or security
control panel.

System Control Panel
The home generator control panel, located inside the
generator housing, is shown below.
Brief descriptions of the controls used during installation are:
A Removable Panel To assist with conduit connection.
B Circuit Breaker Must be ON to supply power to the
transfer switch.
C Set Exercise Switch — Used to set time of the exercise
cycle.
D Manual Over-Ride Switch — Used to manually start
and stop the generator.
E 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the DC control circuits.
F System Switch Switches modes to OFF and AUTO.
G Digital Display — Displays running time in hours, and
fault codes.
H Voltage Regulator — Used to adjust generator output
voltage.
More information may be found in Controls in the Operator’s
Manual.
System Switch
This two-position switch is the most important control on
the home generator and is used as follows:
• “AUTO” position is the normal operating position. If
a utility power outage is sensed, the system will start
the generator. When utility power is restored, lets the
engine stabilize internal temperatures, shuts off the
generator, and waits for the next utility power outage.
• “OFF” position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
15 Amp Fuse
Protects the home generator DC control circuits. If the fuse
has ‘blown’ (melted open) or was removed, the engine
cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an
identical ATO 15A fuse. One spare fuse is supplied with the
unit. If fuse was blown or removed, you will need to reset
the exercise timer (see Setting Exercise Timer).
Final Installation Considerations
Engine Oil
NOTICE
Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in
equipment failure.
Refer to Maintenance and engine manual for oil fill
information.
Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
This engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30W). This allows for
system operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and
ensure that engine is serviced as described in the engine
operator’s manual.
Coolant System
This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50-
50 mix of automotive (Dex-Cool™ orange) anti-freeze and
water. This will provide optimum year round protection
against freezing, boiling and corrosion. The coolant system
incorporates a water heater that operates when ambient
temperature is below 80ºF AND utility power is present at
the transfer switch. Before starting the engine, check coolant
level as described in the engine operator’s manual.

Battery
The installer must supply a sealed, rechargeable 12 Volt DC,
650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) 55 amp hour starting
battery. The battery may not be at full charge when installed.
If battery voltage is below 12 Volts, charge the battery. See
Battery in Maintenance for details.
NOTE: DO NOT use a deep-cycle type battery.
Fuel Supply System
Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and
without leaks.
Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that
adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic
operation is desired.
Initial Start-up (No Load)
Before operating the home generator or placing it into
service, inspect the entire installation carefully.
Then begin testing the system without any electrical loads
connected, as follows:
NOTE: Unit has been set-up for natural gas operation at the
factory. Fuel conversion, if needed, must be completed prior
to performing these steps.
1. Set generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (closed)
position.
2. Confirm 15 Amp fuse is installed in control panel.
3. Set generator’s system switch to AUTO.
4. Push MANUAL OVER-RIDE button on control panel.
NOTE: When the generator is started for the very first time, it
will require that air in the gaseous fuel lines be purged. This
may take a few minutes.
5. DO NOT crank engine for more than 15 seconds, then
pause for 15 seconds to reduce heat in the starter.
6. Repeat process until engine starts.
7. Listen for unusual noises, vibration or other indications
of abnormal operation. Check for oil or coolant leaks
while engine runs.
8. Let engine warm up for about five minutes to allow
internal temperatures to stabilize.
9. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and a frequency
meter to check generator output at load side of circuit
breaker. No-load voltage should be 239-244 Volts,
frequency should be 59.8 - 60.2 Hz.
NOTE: If AC voltage is outside these ranges, perform the
generator adjustment, Steps 13 and 14 below.
10. Check generator output between one of the generator
connection lugs and the neutral lug, then between the
other generator connection lug and the neutral lug.
In both cases, voltage reading should be between
117-123 Volts.
11. Push and hold MANUAL OVER-RIDE button on control
panel again until engine stops.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT proceed until you are certain that
generator AC voltage is correct and within the stated limits.
Generator frequency is fixed and not adjustable
12. If voltage and frequency values are correct, proceed to
step 15.
13. Connect voltmeter as described in step 9 above.
14. While observing voltmeter, adjust alternator voltage
control (A) for 240 volts. DO NOT adjust either of the
other alternator controls.
15. Install alternator circuit breaker enclosure cover.
16. Close all enclosure access doors.
Fuel Conversion
The unit is shipped from the factory calibrated for NG
operation. To convert the engine from NG to LP vapor
operation, contact customer service at (800) 743-4115.

Controls
See the Operator’s Manual for complete description of the
home generator controls.
Operation
Automatic Operation Sequence
The generator’s control panel houses a logic control circuit
board. This control board constantly monitors utility power
source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a preset
level, control board action will signal the engine to crank and
start.
When utility source voltage is restored above a preset
voltage level, the engine is signaled to shut down.
The actual system operation is not adjustable and is
sequenced by sensors and timers on the control board, as
follows:
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility source voltage.
• If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent
of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a
10 second timer. The timer is used to ‘sense’ brown-
outs.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and
start.
Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
This sensor monitors utility power supply voltage. When that
voltage is restored above 80 percent of the nominal source
voltage, a time delay starts timing and the engine will go to
engine cool-down.
Engine Cool-down Timer
• When the load is transferred back to the utility power
source, the engine cool-down timer starts timing.
• The timer will run for about one minute, then the
generator will stop.
• Minimum engine run time is 5 minutes.
Setting Exercise Timer
The home generator is equipped with an exercise timer that
will start and exercise the system once every seven days.
During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately
20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer
DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility
power outage occurs).
A button on the control panel is labeled “Set Exercise” (see
System Control Panel). The specific day and the specific
time of day this button is pressed is programmed into the
control board memory. This date and time is then used to
automatically initiate the system exercise cycle. The “SET
EXERCISE” legend on the control panel will flash until the set
exercise cycle is set.
To perform the Set Exercise procedure:
1. Choose the day and time you want your home
generator to exercise.
2. On that day and time, press and hold down the “Set
Exercise” button for three seconds.
NOTE: “SET EXERCISE” will flash until the button is pressed
for three seconds, then “SET EXERCISE” will illuminate for
5 seconds, and finally turn off.
3. The unit will then start and run it’s 20 minute exercise
cycle.
For example, if you press the “Set Exercise” button on
Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an immediate
exercise cycle and an exercise cycle every following Sunday
at 10:00 AM (+/- 1/2 hour).
NOTE: “Set Exercise” will only work if the unit is in the
Automatic mode and this exact procedure is followed.
The exerciser will need to be re-set if the 15 Amp fuse
is removed or changed, or if the 12 Volt DC battery is
disconnected.
If you want to change the day and time the unit exercises,
simply perform the “Set Exercise” procedure at the exact
weekday and time you want it to take place.
