1.5 SPECIFICATIONS

1.5.1 GENERATOR

Fuel Type ....................................................................................... LP vapor only
Rated Voltage .........................................................................................120 VAC
Rated Maximum Load Current (Amps) at 120 Volts (LP)* .............................50.0
Main Circuit Breaker ................................................................................ 50 Amp
Phase ................................................................................................................1
Number of Rotor Poles .......................................................................................2
Rated AC Frequency ....................................................................................60 Hz
Battery Requirement ........................ Group 26R, 12 Volts and 525 CCA Minimum
Weight (unit only in lbs.) ................................................................................387
Enclosure ..................................................................................................... Steel
Normal Operating Range:  This unit is tested in accordance to UL 2200 standards 
with an operating temperature of 20 °F (-29 °C) to 122 °F. (50 °C).  For areas 
where temperatures fall below 32 °F (0 °C), a cold weather kit is highly recom-
mended. When operated above 104º F (40º C) there may be a decrease in engine 
power. (Please reference the engine specifications section).
These generators are rated in accordance with UL2200, Safety Standard for 
Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies; and CSA-C22.2 No. 100-04 Standard 
for Motors and Generators.

1.5.2 ENGINE

Type of Engine ......................................................................................... GT-530
Number of Cylinders ..........................................................................................2
Rated Horsepower @ 3,600 rpm* ...................................................................18
Displacement .............................................................................................530cc
Cylinder Block .........................................................Aluminum w/Cast Iron Sleeve
Valve Arrangement ..................................................................... Overhead Valves
Ignition System ................................................................. Solid-state w/Magneto
Recommended Spark Plug ..................................................................... BPR6HS
Spark Plug Gap ................................................................. 0.76 mm (0.030 inch)
Compression Ratio.......................................................................................9.5:1
Starter .....................................................................................................12 VDC
Oil Capacity Including Filter ..........................................................Approx. 1.7 Qts
Recommended Oil Filter ............................................................. Part # 070185F
Recommended Air Filter ............................................................... Part # 0E9371
Operating RPM............................................................................................2,600
*   Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambi-

ent temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5 percent for each 
1,000 feet above sea level; and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6 C 
(10 F) above 16 C (60 F) ambient temperature.

1.6  READY TO RUN

The "Ready to Run" on the display is ready when all of the following 

conditions are true:
1.  The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the AUTO position.
2.  The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is being sensed 

by the PCB. If the utility sense voltage is not connected to the 

unit or if it is below approximately 150-160 volts AC, then 

the system will display the message "No Utility Present". This 

indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is placed in 

the Auto position, the generator will start.

3.  No alarms are present, for example, low oil pressure, high 

temperature, etc.
