These generators are rated in accordance with UL 2200, Safety Stan-
dard for Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies, and CSA-C22.2 No.
100-04 Standard for Motors and Generators.
* Natural Gas ratings will depend on specific fuel joules/BTU content.
Typical derates are between 10-20% off the LP gas rating.
** Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size breaker. For
example, a 15 amp circuit in the main panel must be a 15 amp circuit
in the transfer switch.

This unit is tested in accordance to
UL 2200 standards with an operat-
ing temperature of -20 ºF (-29 ºC)
to 122 ºF (50 ºC). For areas where
temperatures fall below 32 ºF (0
ºC), cold weather accessories are
recommended. When operated
above 77 ºF (25 ºC) there may be a
decrease in engine power. (Please
reference the engine specifica-
tions.)

Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU/joules,
ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5
percent for each 1000 feet (304.8 meters) above sea level and also will
decrease about 1 percent for each 6 ºC (10 ºF) above 15 ºC (60 ºF) ambi-
ent temperature.
The specification sheet for your generator was included
in the documentation provided with the unit at the time of
purchase. For additional copies, consult your local
Independent Authorized Service Dealer (IASD) for your
specific generator model.

Protection Systems

The generator may need to run for long periods of time
with no operator present to monitor the engine/generator
conditions. The generator is equipped with protection
systems to automatically shut down the unit to protect
against potentially damaging conditions. Some of these
systems include:
Alarms:
•
High Temperature
•
Low Oil Pressure
•
Overcrank
•
Overspeed
•
Overvoltage
•
Undervoltage
•
