General Information
2.5.3— Fuel Requirements
The engine has been fitted with a dual fuel carburetion system. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas (vapor), but it
has been factory set to run on natural gas. The fuel system is configured for the selected fuel source during installation.
Recommended fuels should have a btu content of at least 1,000 Btus per cubic foot (37.26 megajoules per cubic
meter) for natural gas, or at least 2,500 Btus per cubic foot (93.15 megajoules per cubic meter) for LP gas (vapor).
If converting to LP gas from natural gas, a minimum LP tank size of 250 gallons (946 liters) is recommended. See the
Installation Manual for complete procedures and details.
Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid propane gas are highly explosive. Any spark can ignite
$
such fuels and cause an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural gas, which is lighter than
air, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas.
2.5.4— Battery Requirements
Group 26R, 12V, minimum 525CCA (Generac Part No. 0H3421S).
For proper battery maintenance, see Subsection 4.6.1— Check Battery Condition/Fluid Level.
2.5.5— Battery Charger
The battery charger is integrated into the control system. It operates as a "Smart Charger," which ensures output
charging levels are safe and continuously optimized to promote maximum battery life.
2.5.6— Engine Oil Requirements
For correct engine oil type, see Subsection 4.5.3.1— Engine Oil Recommendations.

into its control system.
Standard on all 22 kW units. Available for all current production air-cooled units that don't
include it. It snaps together, around the base and mounting pad of the generator, to provide a
smoothing, contoured look as well as rodent/insect protection. Requires use of the mounting
pad shipped with the generator.
Provides a personalized web portal that displays the generator's status, maintenance schedule,
event history and much more. This portal is accessible via computer, tablet or smart phone.
Sends emails and/or text notifications the moment there is any change in the generator's sta-
tus. Notification settings can be customized to what type of alert is sent and how often. For
more information, visit www.standbystatus.com.
Completely wireless and battery powered, the Wireless Local Monitor provides you with instant
status without ever leaving the house. Status lights (red, yellow and green) alert owners when
the generator needs attention. Magnetic backing permits refrigerator mounting and gives a 600
foot line of sight communication.
