2.4.3 — Fuel Requirements
The engine has been fitted with a dual fuel carburetion system. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas (vapor), but it has been factory set to
run on natural gas. The fuel system will be configured for the available fuel source during installation.
Recommended fuels should have a btu content of at least 1,000 Btus per cubic foot (37.26 megjoules per cubic meter) for natural gas, or at least
2,500 Btus per cubic foot (93.15 megajoules per cubic meter) for LP gas (vapor).
NOTE: If converting to LP gas from natural gas, a minimum LP tank size of 250 gallons (946 liters) is recommended. See the Installa-
tion Manual for complete procedures and details.
Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid propane gas are highly explosive. Even the
$
slightest spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted.
Natural gas, which is lighter than air, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air
and tends to settle in low areas
2.4.4 — Battery Requirements
Group 26R, 12V, minimum 525CCA (Generac Part No. 0H3421S).

els are safe and continuously optimized to promote maximum battery life.
