SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance INTRODUCTION of the generator and batteries. GUIDE TO PRODUCT SAFETY BASIC INFORMATION Read and understand all instructions in the manual Description before starting and operating the generator set.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FIRE HAZARD - Natural gas and L.P. present a hazard of possible explosion and/or fire. INSTRUCTIONS Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION Fire extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate.
2) ENGINE/GENERATOR TESTING POLICY: PSS27LS- The engine generator set consists of a GM 3.0L, I-4 Industrial, four cylinder, liquid cooled engine equipped to run on Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully L.P./N.G. fuel. The engine operates at 1800 rpm and frequency checked for performance.
Generator Protection and Metering All metering functions are displayed on the liquid crystal display. The front panel display begins with the SUMMARY SCREEN.

Connect the fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel solenoid (see table FUEL PRESSURE (vapor system) for recommended line size). The pressure at the secondary demand regulator must be four to six ounces psi (per square Correct fuel pressure cannot be stressed enough. The most inch) or 7 to 11 inches W.C.

Over filling above the will eliminate all paths for feedback. upper level line may cause the electrolyte to overflow, resulting in corrosion to the engine or nearby parts. Immediately wash off To wire the automatic transfer switch into the existing wiring, first any spilled electrolyte following the procedure above.
B - Generator Circuit Breaker, This circuit breaker provides By code, the wire must be heavy enough to handle the full current overload protection for the generator. Your power feeds from the rating of the main line circuit-breaker (or fuse) in the entrance (or transfer switch will connect to the bottom lugs on the circuit sub-panel) protecting the contactor switch.

With the engine running smoothly check the no load voltage and frequency on the digital display. The voltage should be 208/240/ 480 AC depending on which model you have and a frequency of 59.5 To 60.5 hertz (Hz). If you have the proper voltage at the generator the next step is to check the voltage at the generator terminals in the Automatic Transfer Switch.
