These generators are rated in accordance with UL 2200, Safety Standard 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 BTU / joules 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.

Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel BTU/joules, ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5% for
each 1000 ft (304.8 m) above sea level, and also will decrease about 1% for each 10 °F (6 °C) above 60 °F (15 °C) ambient 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
