Power Load Planning & Management 11 WARNING NEVER exceed the rated wattage capacity of your generator. OVERLOADING may cause SERIOUS DAMAGE to the generator and attached electrical devices, and may result in fire. Your generator MUST BE SIZED PROP ERLY to provide both the running and starting (surge) wattage of the devices you will be powering.
Power Load Planning & Management (cont’d) 12 Device Running Watts Device Running Watts Furnace fan (1/3 HP) 1200 (a) Submersible pump (1-1/2 HP) 2800 (a) Freezer 800 (b) Submersible pump (1 HP) .
Installation / Initial Set-Up 13 There are a number of important steps required to set up your generator for initial use. These steps are: Steps for Installation / In itial Se t-Up 1. Unpacking & delivery inspection. 2. Planning the power load to stay within the generator’s rated capacity.
Installation / Initial Set-Up 14 3. Gas Hook-up Installation fo r Natural Gas or LPG (if needed) You can power this generator with gasoline, natural gas (NG), or propane (LP) gas. The generator is designed so that it is easy to switch between fuel sources.
Installation / Initial Set-Up 15 ♦ This product is designed to operate at an LPG gas pressure range of 7” to 11” of water column and requires a minimum LPG gas flow rate of 9.33 lb/hr, 2.2 Gal/hr, or 201,718 BTU/hr. Note : All gas cylinders produce gas pressure in excess of 11 ” water column.
Installation / Initial Set-Up 16 4. Set-up either as a BUILDING BACK-UP or PORTABLE Power Source This generator is designed to provide up to 13,000W of electrical power. It ca n supply electricity in two ways: 1. As a back-up, standby power source for a building.

Operation (cont’d) 24 be done by factory-authorized personnel. • External fuel sources . Never attempt to connect external gasoline/diesel sources in order to increase engine run time. Larger tank at pressure or higher elev ation will cause ga soline to le ak from carburetor during operation.
Operation (cont’d) 25 Static electricity and filling the gasoline tank: Static electricity can initiate from ungrounded gasoline tanks or containers, from flowing gasoline, and from persons carrying.
Operation (cont’d) 26 2. Preparing for Operation Position generator Position generator in accordance with the instructions given in “Installation & Initial Set-up, Step 5: Select a Suitable Site” of this manual. Operate outside only, on dry, level gr ound with adequate clearance and ventilation.
Operation (cont’d) 27 Fill gasoline tank (if using gasoline) Check the gasoline level in the generator’s tank if you will be operating the generator on gasoline. If needed, fill tank with fresh unleaded gasoline from a portable container, after first reading the warni ngs and instructions below.
Operation (cont’d) 28 the generator’s tank is not grounded and high velocity flow from the pump can cause static electric ity build-up. U se an approved portable container to transfer gas to the generator’s tank. • Never fill the portable gas container while it is sitting inside a vehicle, trailer, trunk, or pi ck-up truck bed.
Operation (cont’d) 29 Inspect Fuel System / Check for Leaks Inspect fuel system & check for le aks BEFORE starting generator. Do not start generator until all neede d repairs have been completed. WARNING: Fuel leak hazard Gasoline, LP gas (propane) and NG (natural gas) are highly explosive and fuel leaks can result in fire or explosions.
Operation (cont’d) 30 A djustmen t Screw Lock Nut 3. Starting the Engine After you have completed the pre-start checklist procedures, you are ready to start the engine.
Operation (cont’d) 31 WARNING: Never open oil port while engine is running. Hot oil c an spray over face and body. Using Gasoline To start engine using gasoline: 1) Disconnect all load s to the generator. 2) Flip the fuel selector switch to the GASOLINE position.
Operation (cont’d) 32 4. Checking Genera tor Outpu t Although the speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage and frequency, output voltage should be checked periodically to ensure the generator is working properly before connecting loads to the generator .
Operation (cont’d) 33 5. Connecting Loads You will want to be careful when connecting loads so as not to overload the generator, especially if you are powering devices with motors that require a higher starting power load.
Operation (cont’d) 34 6. Switching Fuels (during operation) You can switch fuel sources (from gasoline to LP /NG, or from LP/NG to gasoline) while the generator is running. Follow the instructions below: Switching from LP/NG to Gasoline 1. Disconnect all loads to the genera tor.
Operation (cont’d) 35 8. Storage & Exercise When you are finished usin g the generator, you must: o Disconnect all loads o Shut off fuel supply o Store the generator properly o Plan on exercising the engine regularly unless the generator is prepared for long-term storage.
Operation (cont’d) 36 Prepare engine for long term storage if needed If you will not be able to exercis e the generato r regularly, you must prepare the engine for long term storage to prevent gum deposits from forming and causing malfunction of the engine.
Maintenance & Repair 37 Inspect and maintain your generator as specified below in order to keep it in safe and optimal working order. Follow all safety ru les and recom mended maintenance steps. WARNING ALWAYS shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug(s) and discharge the capacitor before cleaning, adjusting, or servicing the ge nerator.
Maintenance & Repair (cont’d) 38 Inspect fuel system / check for leaks Inspect the fuel system and check for leaks on a regular basis. 1) Inspect the entire fuel system.
Troubleshooting 39 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Causes Possible Remedies Engine will not start. a) Low oil level. b) Fouled spark plug. c) Out of fuel. d) Stop switch in OFF position. e) Battery disconnected or dead. f) Fuel selector switch is set to the incorrect fuel.
