Installation
Determine the best location for the generator. It must be hung
level in an area that is adequately ventilated.
!!Warning!! In closed spaces without adequate ventilation,
CO2 levels can accumulate and become toxic (CO2 levels
above 5000 PPM are toxic) Plants benefit from levels up to
1500PPM. Levels above 2500PPM can cause headaches
and /or other feelings of being ill.
The generator requires an unrestricted flow of air through the
bottom and must be hung. DO NOT set the generator on top
of anything such as a table, stand, etc.
Select an overhead support such as a ceiling joist to hang the
generator from. The unit must have a 20” minimum space
between the unit and wall, roof or any other possible
obstruction.
Use the provided hardware (20” chains, screw hooks, and S
hooks) to securely hang the generator.
Install the screw hooks into the overhead support. Use the S
hooks to secure the chain to the unit and the screw hooks.
Bend the S hooks so that they are secure.
Verify the APCG4 is hanging level. The APCG4 has a safety
feature, the “tip over” switch, which will turn off the burners if it
tips over or falls. The switch is like a pendulum and will turn off
the unit if it is not level.
Verify the gas supply, and the regulator being used match the
type of generator (NG or LP) selected.
Securely tighten the gas connection with 2 wrenches, using
the included 12 foot hose, connect one end to the flare fitting
and the other to the provided gas regulator. Verify connection
is secured safely.
