DON’T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. 
TAKE USED BATTERY TO RECYCLING 
COLLECTION CENTERS.

Charging the Battery

If it is necessary to charge the battery, proceed as follows:

1. Set control panel system switch to 

OFF

.

 2. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.

 3. Disconnect negative (

-

) battery cable from negative   

(

-

) battery terminal.

NOTICE:

 

Failure to disconnect negative (

-

) battery cable will 

result in equipment failure.

• DO NOT attempt to jump start the generator.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to 

follow this instruction will void engine and 
generator warranty.

 4. Charge battery with battery charger at 2 Amps until 

battery is fully charged. DO NOT exceed 13.7 volts 

when charging.

 5. Connect negative (

-

) battery cable to negative (

-

battery terminal.

 6. Ensure hardware on both positive (

+

) and negative   

(

-

) terminals is secure.

 7. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.

 8. Set control panel system switch to

 AUTO

.

 9. Reset exercise timer. See 

Setting the Exercise Timer.

Engine Adjustment

There are regional variances in the composition of natural 
gas. Each generator leaves the factory set for NG operation. If 
the generator frequency is outside the ranges given below, 
the combustibility of the gas at the installation site may be 
different from the fuel used at the factory.

• Minimum generator frequency is 57 Hz at full 

load.

• Maximum generator frequency is 62.0 - 62.5 Hz 

at no-load.

To adjust the engine for this difference, proceed as follows:

1. Remove four screws and control panel from the 

enclosure to expose the main circuit breaker.

 2. Connect an accurate frequency meter to line side of 

the main circuit breaker or connect tachometer on 
spark plug lead.

 3. Ensure that the 15 Amp fuse is installed.

 4. Set the main circuit breaker 

ON

.

 5. Set the control panel system switch to 

AUTO

.

 6. Push 

MANUAL OVER-RIDE

 on the control panel. 

When the engine starts, allow it to warm up for five 
minutes.

WARNING 

Storage batteries give off explosive 

hydrogen gas during recharging. Slightest spark 
will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion. Battery 
electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely 
caustic. Contact with battery contents will cause 
severe chemical burns. A battery presents a risk 
of electrical shock and high short circuit current.

DO NOT dispose of a battery in a fire. Recycle the 
battery.

DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit 
cigarette during and for several minutes after 
charging a battery.

DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.

Wear protective gloves, rubber apron, rubber boots, 
and rubber gloves.

Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

Use tools having insulated handles.

CAUTION

 With the system switch set to AUTO, the 

engine may crank and start at any time without 
warning.

To prevent possible injury that may be caused by 
sudden starts, always set the system switch to OFF if 
performing maintenance on the system.

Remove the 15 Amp fuse before working on or 
around the generator or transfer switch.
