LINE TRANSFER SWITCH
If this generator is used for standby
service, it must have a transfer switch
between the utility power service and
the generator. The transfer switch not

feeding into the generator, but is also
prevents the generator form feeding
out into the utility company’s lines.
This is intended to protect the
serviceman who may be working on a
damaged line.
THIS INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY
A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND ALL
LOCAL CODES MUST BE FOLLOWED.

before operating this unit. Always
make sure the unit is level and properly
grounded. Check engine oil before
Starting.
1. Fuel selection is performed at the
T-joint. Set up the T-joint for its
intended gas usage (LP or NG).
2. Connect and tighten the fuel hose
fitting to the proper outlet.
3. Install the cap to plug the T-joint
outlet that is not used.
4.
Attaching the Propane (LP) or
Natural Gas (NG) hose to the
generator.
Attach the propane or
natural gas hose to the male flare
fitting on the front of the low pressure
regulator using a wrench. Do not over
tighten.
5.
Attaching the Propane (LP) or
Natural Gas (NG) hose to the fuel
source.
The other end of the hose
must be connected to
(1) the Propane (LP) tank by inserting
the reverse thread POL (located on
the regulator end of the hose) into a
propane tank using a wrench. Make
sure the hose is secure. Or
(2) the Natural Gas outlet. The Natural
Gas hose comes equipped with a
quick connect male located at the end
of the hose and female quick connect
coupler. (The female quick connect
coupler must be connected to your
Natural Gas outlet prior to use. Use a
wrench and pipe dope to promote a
safe seal.) Insert the male end of the
quick connect into the female coupler
by pulling back on the outside ring on
the female end of the quick connect,
inserting the quick connect male end
of the hose into it and releasing the
ring. (The natural gas hose does not
have an additional regulator on it)
6. The choke should always be left in
the open position during vapor fuel
operation.
7. Open the valve on the propane tank
or natural gas outlet.
8. The priming button is located on the
backside of the low pressure
regulator. Purge the fuel line of air by
gently pressing the primer button for a
few seconds.
8. The control box is located on the
front right side of the engine. Insert
the key and turn it to the START

9. When the engine starts, release
key, allowing it to return to the ON
position, which is the middle position.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 30 seconds
at a time. If the engine does not start,
allow for a 3 minute cool down period
between starting attempts. Failure to
follow these guidelines can damage the
starter motor.
If the starter does not turn the engine
over, shut off the starter immediately.
Do not make further attempts to
start the engine until the condition
is corrected. Do not jump start using
another battery.
