Owner’s Manual Liquid-cooled, Prepackaged Standby Generators Model Number: ASPAS1BBL015 Not intended for use in critical life support applications. ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS OR CONTRACTORS SHOULD ATTEMPT INSTALLATION!! DEADLY EXHAUST FUMES. OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY! This manual should remain with the unit.
Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensure a minimum number of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See a Bryant Dealer for serv- ice aids and accessories. Operating instructions presented in this manual assume that the standby electric system has been installed by a Bryant Dealer or other competent, qualified contractor.
If using a procedure, work method or operating technique that Bryant does not specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique utilized does not render the generator unsafe.
FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the area surrounding the generator clean and free from debris. • Bryant generator sets may operate using one of several types of fuels. All fuel types are potentially FLAMMABLE and/or EXPLOSIVE and should be handled with care.
• Protect the switch at all times against excessive moisture, dust, dirt, lint, construction grit and cor- rosive vapors. • Failure to utilize a Bryant transfer switch with this generator will void the warranty. Model Rating...
(Figure 1.3). Figure 1.3 - Engine Protective Devices Section 1 - General Information Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 1.7.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH This switch is normally-closed (N.C.), but is held open by engine oil pressure during engine running.
The unit will not start or crank if the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same size, type, and rating. Bryant normally uses an AGC fuse rated at 15 amps (part number 022676). Handle shipping cartons and crates with care. Use care to avoid damage from dropping, bumping, colli- sion, etc.
14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5 psi) at all load ranges. Section 1 — General Information Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 1.12 RECONFIGURING THE FUEL (1.5 liters) All models are configured for natural gas from the factory.
Section 2 — Installation Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 1.14 ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS The unit has been filled with 15W-40 engine oil at the factory. Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service SJ or latest available.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits.
Notice that both the STANDBY and the UTILITY power supplies to the transfer switch are protected against overload by a main line circuit breaker. Figure 2.1 – Basic Standby Electric System Bryant recommends the use of a Bryant transfer switch in conjunction with this generator. Bryant...
Section 2 — Installation Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators EMERGENCY CIRCUIT ISOLATION METHOD This prevents overloading the generator by keeping electrical loads below the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. If the generator is powering only crit- ical loads, within the wattage/amperage capacity, dur- ing utility power outages, consider using the emer- gency circuit isolation method.
Section 2 — Installation Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators • Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid-neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbon- ate of soda to one gallon (4 liters) of water.
Section 3 — Operation Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators Before starting the generator for the first time, the installer must complete the following procedures. For follow-up maintenance information and/or service intervals, please refer to Section 4, “Maintenance.” 2.11.2 TRANSFER SWITCH...

Section 4 — Maintenance Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE FACILITIES A. EVERY THREE MONTHS 1.Check battery state of charge and condition. 2.Inspect and test fuel system. 3.Check transfer switch. 4.Inspect exhaust system. 5.Check engine ignition system.
Look for fuel, oil or coolant leaks. Section 4 — Maintenance Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators 4.5.7 INSPECT EXHAUST SYSTEM Inspect the exhaust system at least once every three months. Check all exhaust system pipes, mufflers, clamps, etc.
Section 4 — Maintenance Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators Figure 4.2 - Oil Filter After refilling the crankcase with oil, always check oil level on dipstick. NEVER OPERATE ENGINE WITH OIL BELOW THE DIPSTICK “ADD” MARK. 7. Start engine and check for oil leaks.

3. Have the state of charge and condition checked. This should be done with an automotive-type bat- tery hydrometer. Section 4 — Maintenance Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators DANGER Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. This gas can form an explosive mixture around the battery for several hours after charging.
Section 4 — Maintenance Bryant Liquid-cooled 15 kW Generators SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE The following is a recommended maintenance schedule for small standby and residential generator sets. The established intervals in the schedule are the maximum recommended when the unit is used in an average service application.
