Installation / Initial Set-Up
16
You will need a minimum 100 lb. LP gas tank to operate the generator.
This generator will not work
with 20-lb gas cylinders
used in gas grills
and recreational equipment, or 40-lb gas cylinders
used in forklifts and
tractors. These smaller tanks do not have a sufficient vaporization rate
to run the generator.
Some installations may require tanks even larger than 100-lb as a result
of low surrounding air temperature and other appliances drawing fuel
from the same tank.
4. Set-up either as a BUILDING BACK-UP or PORTABLE Power Source
This generator is designed to provide a designated amount of electrical power (see specification
section of this manual). It can supply electricity in two ways:
1.
As a back up, standby power source for a building.
For this application, you must arrange
for a licensed electrician to connect the generator to your building's electrical system via the
installation of an UL-listed transfer switch. The transfer switch must be installed in
accordance with building electrical code and guidelines supplied by your power company.
2.
As a portable power source
. You can plug appliances or tools directly into the generator's
electrical outlets.
Specific requirements for each are given below.
CAUTION: Regardless of whether you use your generator as a back-up power source
connected to a building or as a portable power source, you must not overload the generator.
Overloading may cause serious damage to the generator and attached electrical devices.
Using as a
Back-up Power
Source for a
Building
Contact a licensed electrician to install an UL-listed transfer switch
if you
want to use your generator as a back-up power source for a building.
What does a transfer switch do? It:
a) Safely connects the generator to your building's electrical system by
isolating your generator from your utility company's power lines, AND
b) Connects your generator to a critical subset of your building's circuits
that are needed for emergency power needs.
If your generator will be connected to your building's electrical system, it
MUST ALWAYS be isolated from the utility power grid with a
UL-listed
transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician
in compliance with all
applicable building and electrical codes, and in accordance with guidelines
supplied by your power company.
DANGER:
A transfer switch must be installed in order to isolate your
generator from the utility power grid. If your generator is
NOT properly isolated from the utility system, serious
hazards will arise:
When your generator is running, its output will back feed
into the utility power line and transformer that are
normally used to provide you with power. The
