INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-cooled,
engine-driven generator. It is designed to automatically supply electrical
power to operate critical loads during a utility power failure.

intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This generator will operate
using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).
This generator is suitable for supplying typical residential loads such
as Induction Motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners,
furnaces, etc.), Electronic Components (computer, monitor, TV, etc.),
Lighting Loads and Microwaves.

SAFETY RULES

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the genera-
tor, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert

hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully.
Their definitions are as follows:

NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to
preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each
indicates is as follows:
