• Failure to read and understand these instructions before installing or operating this product could result in
personal injury or property damage.
• Installation and connection of gas lines must be completed in compliance with local and national regulations.
• Do not store gasoline or other flammable gases or liquids near the unit.
• Keep objects away from the Generator as the electrodes produce sparks.
• Install the Generator in an adequately ventilated area. Without adequate ventilation, CO
2
can reach toxic levels.
Levels above 2500 ppm can cause headaches and other symptoms, and levels above 5000 ppm are toxic.
• Do not use the standard Generator at altitudes higher than 4,500 ft above sea level if the burners are producing
yellow flame.
• The Generator is designed to be operated only while hanging. Do not operate the Generator on a table or other
surface because the unit requires unrestricted airflow through the bottom of the unit.
• Do not turn on the Generator without reading the “Start-up Procedure” section.
Installation
1. Use the provided hardware to securely hang the Generator from an overhead support, such as a ceiling beam. Leave
at least 20” between the unit and the wall, ceiling, or other surfaces or objects. Install the screw hooks into the
overhead support, then use the S hooks to attach the chain to the unit and the screw hooks. Bend the S hooks
to secure the chain.
2. Verify the Generator is hanging level. The unit has a built-in tip-over switch, a pendulum-like safety feature that will turn
off the gas supply to the burners if the unit tips over, falls or isn’t level.
3. Connect the provided gas regulator to the liquid propane or natural gas supply. The gas supply to the Generator
must be regulated to a very low pressure (11” WC or ½ psi for liquid propane, and 4.5” WC or ¼ psi for natural gas).
4. Use a wrench to connect one end of the included 12’ hose to the flare fitting on the unit and the other end to the
provided gas regulator.
5. To verify the connections are secure, check for leaks by spraying a soap solution onto the gas connection fittings with the
shut-off valve in open position. If bubbles appear, close the shut-off valve, retighten the connection and repeat
the process.
LED Indicators
There are four LED indicators on the side of the Generator, near the power switch.
• The “Main Power ON” LED illuminates when the power supply is connected and the unit is turned on.
• The “Lock Out Error” LED flashes to indicate the ignition control module has shut off the solenoid valves and the unit will
not operate until it has been disconnected from and reconnected to power.
• The “Pilot Valve ON” LED illuminates when the ignition control module provides a spark for 15 seconds while the pilot
solenoid is activated. The LED will remain illuminated during operation.
• The “Main Valve ON” LED illuminates when the flame sensor detects a flame. LED remains on during operation.
Start-up Procedure
1. Before initiating the start-up procedure, verify the power switch is off and the Generator is not plugged in.
2. Pressurize the gas lines by opening the shut-off valves on the gas supply. Test for gas leaks, especially if this is the first
time the unit has been used.
3. Plug the Generator’s 24-VDC power supply into a 120V power source.
4. Connect the other end of the 24-VDC power supply cord to the inlet jack on the Generator.
5. Turn the power switch on. The LED labeled “Main Power ON” will illuminate.
6. The ignition control module will attempt to ignite the burners for approximately 5 seconds. The LED labeled “Pilot Valve
ON” will illuminate.
7. The burners may not ignite initially if this is the first time the unit is being used. After 30 seconds, the unit will attempt to
ignite the burners for 15 seconds. The unit will continue until the burner ignites or for a maximum of five attempts.
8. If five unsuccessful attempts are made, the module will lock itself out and the LED labeled “Lock Out Error”
will illuminate. Turn off the Generator, close the shut-off valve, and wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to dissipate before
attempting to restart the unit.
9. When the burners have ignited, look under the unit to confirm the flame is blue and steady, resembling a flower or star.
• Immediately turn off the unit if the flame appears yellow, excessively large, or weak and lazy. High gas pressure
or incorrect gas type may lead to yellow or excessively high flames. Low gas pressure may cause small or weak
blue flames.
• After the Generator has been tested with all burners operating, connect the Generator to a controller or timer
that will control the frequency and duration of the unit’s operation.
