INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-
cooled, engine-driven generator. It is designed to automatically 
supply electrical power to operate critical loads during a utility 
power failure.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that 

is intended exclusively for outdoor installation.

 This generator 

will operate using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or 
natural gas (NG).

NOTE:

This generator is suitable for supplying typical 

residential loads such as Induction Motors (sump 

pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces, etc.), 

Electronic Components (computer, monitor, TV, etc.), 

Lighting Loads and Microwaves.

READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY

If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the 
nearest Dealer for starting, operating and servicing procedures.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the 
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are 
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular 
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or 
carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:

INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION WHICH, IF 

NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not 

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not 

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTE:

Notes contain additional information important to a 

procedure and will be found within the regular text 

body of this manual.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they 
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special 
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to 
preventing accidents.

Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the 

DANGER

WARNING

 and 

CAUTION

 blocks. The type of information each 

indicates is as follows:

n

 This symbol points out important safety information that, 

if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or 

property of others.
