Protection Systems
The generator may have to run for long periods of time
with no operator present to monitor the engine/generator
conditions. Therefore, the generator is equipped with a
number of systems to automatically shut down the unit to
protect it against potentially damaging conditions. Some
of these systems are as follows:
The control panel contains LEDs which alert the operator
when a fault condition occurs. The above list is not all
inclusive. For more information about alarms and control
panel operation, see Section 3
Operation .
Emission Information
The engine used in this generator is not certified to
United States EPA emission standards, or any other
emission standards. Sale or use of this generator is not
legal in the U.S. or any country which has emission
standards that are applicable to this product.
Fuel Requirements
The engine has been fitted with a dual fuel carburetion
system. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas
(vapor), but it has been factory set to run on natural gas.
The fuel system will be configured for the available fuel
source during installation.
Recommended fuels should have a BTU content of at
least 1000 Btus per cubic foot (37.26 megajoules per
cubic meter) for natural gas, or at least 2500 BTUs per
cubic foot (93.15 megajoules per cubic meter) for LP gas
(vapor).
NOTE: If converting to LP gas from natural gas, a
minimum LP tank size of 250 gallons (946 liters) is
recommended. See the Installation Manual for complete
procedures and details.
Battery Requirements
Group U1, 12V, minimum 300 CCA.
For proper battery maintenance procedures, see Section
4
Maintenance .
Battery Charger
The battery charger is integrated into the control panel
module in all models. It operates as a Smart Charger
which ensures output charging levels are safe and
continuously optimized to promote maximum battery life.
Engine Oil Requirements

DANGER
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel
in a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark
away. Failure to do so will result in death
or serious injury.
