Important Owner's Considerations

WARNING
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Carbon monoxide detector(s) MUST be installed and
maintained indoors according to the manufacturer's
instructions/recommendations. Smoke alarms cannot
detect carbon monoxide gas.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your carbon
monoxide alarm sounds while using this product, get to
fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable
and explosive, which could cause burns, fire or explosion
resulting in death or serious injury.
• The generator is equipped with an automatic safety
gas fuel shut-off valve.
• DO NOT operate the equipment if the fuel shut-off valve
is missing or inoperative.
Engine Oil
The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled
with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30). This allows for system
operation in a wide range of temperature and climate
conditions. Before starting the engine, check the oil level as
described in Maintenance.
NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine without
being correctly filled with the recommended oil will result in
equipment failure.
• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to obey this
instruction will void engine and generator warranty.
Battery
The installer must supply a rechargeable 12 volt DC starting
battery. See Battery in Final Installation Considerations in this
manual.
15 Amp Fuse
Make sure that the fuse is correctly installed before operating
your generator.

Automatic Operation Sequence

The generator's control board monitors utility voltage. If the
utility voltage drops below a preset level, the control board
will signal the engine to crank and start. When the utility
28
voltage is restored above a preset voltage level, the engine
is signaled to shut down. The actual system operation is not
adjustable and is sequenced by sensors and timers on the
control board, as follows:
Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor
• This sensor monitors the utility source voltage.
• If the utility source voltage drops below approximately 70
percent of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor initiates
a timer. The timer is used to 'sense' brown‑outs.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and
start.
Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
This sensor monitors the utility voltage. When the utility
voltage is restored above approximately 80 percent of the
nominal source voltage, a shut-down timer is initiated and the
engine will go to engine cool-down.
Engine Cool-down Timer
When the utility power is sensed, the load transfers to the
utility source and the engine will go into a 5 minute cool down
period.
