Fascia Base Wrap The fascia base wrap snaps together around the bottom of the new air-cooled generators. This offers a sleek, contoured appearance as well as protection from rodents and insects by covering the lifting holes located in the base. Requires use of the mounting pad shipped with the generator. 11 Owner's Manual for 60 Hz Air-Cooled Generators General Information Accessory Description Mobile Linku Cellular The Mobile Link family of Cellular Accessories allow users to monitor Accessories generator status from anywhere in the world, using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information such as the current operating status and maintenance alerts. Users can connect an account with an authorized service dealer for fast,friendly, and proactive service.With Mobile Link, users are taken care of before the next power outage.

LTE LP Fuel Level The LTE enabled LP fuel level monitor provides constant monitoring Monitor of a connected LP fuel tank. Monitoring the LP tank's fuel level is an important step in verifying the generator is ready to run during an unexpected power failure. Status alerts are available through a free application to notify users when the LP tank needs a refill. Base Plug Kit Base plugs snap into the lifting holes on the base of air-cooled home standby generators. This offers a sleek, contoured appearance, as well as offers protection from rodents and insects by covering the lift- ing holes located in the base. Base plug kit contains four base plugs, sufficient for use on a single air-cooled home standby generator. Smart Management Smart Management Modules (SMM's) are used to optimize the per- Module formance of a standby generator. They manage large electrical loads (50 and 100 amps) upon startup and shed them to aid in recovery when overloaded. In many cases, using SMM's can reduce the overall size and cost of the system. High Altitude Kit A high altitude kit may be required when operating over 2,000 ft(610 m) above sea level per U.S. EPA regulations. Operating the engine with the incorrect engine configuration at a given altitude may increase emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.

Monitoring the LP tank's fuel level is an important step in verifying the generator is ready to run during an unexpected power failure. Status alerts are available through a free application to notify users when the LP tank needs a refill. Base Plug Kit Base plugs snap into the lifting holes on the base of air-cooled home standby generators. This offers a sleek, contoured appearance, as well as offers protection from rodents and insects by covering the lift- ing holes located in the base. Base plug kit contains four base plugs, sufficient for use on a single air-cooled home standby generator. Smart Management Smart Management Modules (SMM's) are used to optimize the per- Module formance of a standby generator. They manage large electrical loads (50 and 100 amps) upon startup and shed them to aid in recovery when overloaded. In many cases, using SMM's can reduce the overall size and cost of the system. High Altitude Kit A high altitude kit may be required when operating over 2,000 ft(610 m) above sea level per U.S. EPA regulations. Operating the engine with the incorrect engine configuration at a given altitude may increase emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and performance.
