This home standby generating set is inherently protected by
design against damage to the generator, transfer switch and feeder
conductors (if properly sized). If a short circuit or large overload
occurs, generator output drops to zero and no damage results.
GROUNDING
W A R N I N G
Failure to ground the generating set could
result in serious electrical shock.
Connect a #8 wire or larger (following applicable
codes) between:
1. A separate ground pipe or rod penetrating into
moist earth, and
2. the solderless connector which is located on top
of the generator for the remote start models and
on the start-stop control box for the electric start
models.

^ The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires
that all separately derived AC systems be
grounded per Article 250-26. Manufacturer has added a bonding
jumper per article 250-26 (a) from the noncurrent carrying metal
parts to the conductor to be grounded. Manufacturer does not
supply the required grounding conductor or grounding electrode
because it would be impossible to cover every exception and all
local code requirements. See your local codes and the NEC man-
ual for the proper grounding for your application.
As a general rule, do not use electrical equipment in wet or damp
areas. For construction sites, additional rules apply to portable
alternators when used on construction sites, from NEC, OSHA and
state codes. It is the responsibility of the consumer to meet these
requirements.
GASOLINE TANK, HOLDER AND HOOD
Instructions for installation and connections for gaseous fuel are
included with the gaseous fuel package.
The remote start gas-gasoline model includes a gaso-
line tank bracket and tank hood for mounting the
gasoline tank on the rear of the compartment. Use the
following instructions.
1. Facing the rear of the compartment, remove the
bottom, middle lag bolt and washer. See Figure 4.
Do not discard the bolt or washer.
2. Mount the gasoline can bracket with the one lag
bolt and washer just removed (from Step 1) and
two hex head 5/16-18 screws, flat washers, lock
washer and nuts as shown in Figure 4. Holes in
the panel are already drilled for the top screws.
3. Place the gasoline tank in the tank bracket so the
tank cap is on the left as you face the rear of the
compartment.
4. Connect the female connector on the end of the
supplied fuel line to the tank cap male connector.
Pull the female connector sleeve back, insert and

Be sure to connect the female connector on the fuel line to the
tank cap before routing fuel line to fuel pump. Otherwise, you
might accidentally place the connector on the inside of the
compartment.

Run the loose end of the fuel line (opposite con-

the compartment. Figure 6 shows where line
enters inside compartment.
Slip the hose clamp over the loose end of the fuel
line (now inside the compartment). See Figure 6.
Connect the end of the line to the unused connec-
tor on the fuel pump (Figure 6). Move the clamp
near the end of the fuel line (over fuel pump
connector).
Install the gasoline tank hood with four 1/4-20
screws, flat washers, lock washers and nuts.
Mount the hood so the hinges face down and will
