Safety and General Information
1.1 — Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, variable speed, air-cooled, engine-driven stationary auto-
matic standby generator set. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information and instructions in this manual
are both accurate and complete at the time of release. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter,
or otherwise improve this product at any time without prior notice.
In off-grid applications as a part of an alternative energy system, the generator starts when the inverter/battery charger
detects the battery pack voltage has dropped below a preset level. The generator powers the inverter, and once the
voltage level of the battery rises to an acceptable level, the generator is shut down. Another off-grid application would
be for use in remote locations such as for pumping water for a village or campground, or for livestock.
The unit is factory installed in an all-weather metal enclosure and is intended for outdoor installation only . The gen-
erator can be operated using either natural gas (NG) or vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP).
NOTE: When properly sized, this generator is suitable for supplying typical residential loads such as Induc-
tion Motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces, etc.), Electronic Components (computer,
monitor, TV, etc.), Lighting Loads and Microwaves, or loads less than 10 kW or 2 hp.

injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action that, if not avoided, could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action that, if not avoided, could result in minor or mod-
erate injury.
NOTE: Notes provide additional information important to a procedure or component.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards they indicate. Observing safety precautions and strict compliance
with the special instructions while performing the action or service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION boxes and the type of informa-
