The GEN-2 can produce between 16-26 cubic feet of CO
2
per hour. It is
recommended for rooms up to 36’ x 36’ (approximate)
Features a “two-stage” safety pilot valve, which will not allow fuel to flow to the
burner unless the pilot is lit.
Our standard “tip-over” switch will shut down the fuel to the main burner in the
event the unit falls or tips over.
The GEN-2 can be expanded by adding additional burners.
Manufactured in the USA using only AGA and UL listed components.
INSTALLATION
1) Determine the desired location for the generator. It must be positioned at least 18” away from walls or other flammable
materials. A distance of at least 18” must be maintained between the top of the unit and the
ceiling or roof. Open flames are present inside the unit. Do not use the unit around
flammable materials.
2) The unit must be hung from suitable supports. Use at least two chains / hooks to secure the
unit. The unit must be level in order to operate correctly and safely.
3) The hose that is supplied with the generator is fitted with a standard 3/8” female flare
connection. Connect the gas hose to the back of the CO
2
generator. To connect the hose, use
two wrenches in order to properly tighten the connection without twisting any internal
connections.
PROPANE
Connect the other end of the hose to the LP regulator supplied with the unit. To connect the hose, use two wrenches in
order to properly tighten the connection.
Open the gas valve on the propane tank. Check for leaks on all connections using a spray bottle with soapy water. Look for
bubbles, which would indicate a leak.
NATURAL GAS
Make certain that you have a gas shut-off valve on your gas supply. Install the shut-off valve in an accessible location.
Install the in-line regulator to the gas supply, (3/8” NPT female thread). Connect the hose to the in-line regulator. To connect
the hose, use two wrenches in order to properly tighten the connection.
Open the gas valve on the gas line. Check for leaks on all connections using a spray bottle with soapy water. Look for
bubbles, which would indicate a leak.
CAP’s CO
2
generators economically and safely produce carbon dioxide by burning either
Propane or Natural Gas. We have designed our CO
2
generator to allow you to increase the
CO
2
production simply by installing additional burners.
GEN-2 CO

Generator
WARNING
Connecting propane to a generator meant to burn natural gas will result in dangerously large flames. Alternately if natural
gas is connected to a generator meant to burn propane will result in inconsistent flames with too little fuel available to
burn properly. Make sure fuel supply matches the your generator type!!!
NOTE:
The GEN-2 propane model comes with a standard tank mounted regulator, which must be used unless the LP
pressure is already regulated to 11” WC pressure at an outdoor propane tank.
NOTE:
It is critical to install the regulator supplied “in-line” between your gas supply and the generator. The regulator
supplied with the GEN-2 is preset to maintain a constant pressure of 4.5” WC, which is around ¼ PSI. It is important to
verify the main gas pressure before installing the unit. Most gas utility companies install low-pressure gas regulators on the
main gas line that are set up to ½ PSI, (4.5 - 7” WC). Some commercial buildings have a high-pressure gas main (usually
2PSI). If this is this case, you will need to have the pressure reduced to ½ PSI or lower before installing the low-pressure
regulator supplied with the unit.
