Most applications will require an external manual full flow shutoff valve on the fuel line. Figure 5.2 -Full Flow Shutoff Valve 3. When connecgng the gas line to the generator, use the provided section of ULListed or AGA-approved flexible fuel line in accordance with local regulations. The purpose of the flexible fuel line is to ensure that vibration from the generator does not cause a gas leak atone of the connection points, so it's important that the line be installed with as few bends as possible.

Both natural gas and LP Vapor are highly volatile substances, so strict adherence to all safety procedures, codes, standards and regulations is essential. Gas line connectors should be made by a certrfied plumber familiar with local codes. Always use AGA-approved gas pipe and a quality pipe sealant or joint compound. Verify the capacity of the natural gas meter or the LP tank in regards to providing suificiem fuel for both the generator and other operating appliances. • Fuel Regulator installed per laws or regulator manufacturer's specifications • AGA approved gas pipe • Flexible fuel line - Do not bend!!! - Do not attach directly to generator - Check all connections for leaks • Sediment trap near generator ('rf applicable or required by code) • Full flow rated shut-off near generator per local jurisdiction or code ,e 5.3 FUEL CONSUMPTION NOTE: Required fuel pressure for natural gas is 3.5.7" water column (7.13mm meroury). The required fuel pressure for LP Vapor is 10-12" water column (19.22mm mercury). These are approximate values, use the appropriate spec sheet or owner's manual far specific values. Nat.

" LP is in galbns par Mur I liters per Iwur. Values given are approximate. Verify that gas meter is capable of providing enough fuel flow to include household appliances and all other loads. r ~ Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) 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. NOTE: A minimum of one approved full flow manual shutoff valve must be installed in the gaseous fuel supply line. The valve must be easily accessible. Local codes determine the proper location. NOTE: THE GAS SUPPLY AND PIPE MUST BE SIZED AT 100% LOAD BTU 1 MEGAJOULE RATING 5.4 FUEL LINE SIZING • First, determine what size pipe is required. Refer to NFPA 54 for NG or NFPA 58 for LP for further infortnafion. • Always refer to the owner's manual for the proper BTU I megajoule and required gas pressures. To calculate BTU or Megajoules: - Natural Gas: BTU=Cubic feet I hour x 1000 Megajoules=Cubic meters I hour x 37.26 - Liquid Propane Vapor: BTU=Cubic feet / hour x 2500 Megajoules=Cubic meters I hour x 93.15 • Start by measuring the distance from the generator to the gas source. The generator should be plumbed directly from the source, not off the end of an existing system. • When measuring the pipe length, add 2.5ft. (.76m) for every angle or bend in the pipe and add that to the overall pipe distance. 17 4. Never bend the flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow. Bending the flexible line decreases tts ability to absorb vibrations and defeats its pu-nose, as well as constricts the actual fuel flow. See Figure 5.5. 5. Check for leaks by spraying all connection points with a soap solution made of dishwashing soap and water. You should not seethe solution be "bbwn away" or form "bubbles". Next, check the gas pressure at the regulator in the generator by following these steps. - C' use gas supply valve. - Remove the top gas pressure test port from the regulator (see Figure 5.6) and install the gas pressure tester (manometer). - Upen the gas supply valve and ensure that the pressure is within the specked values. NOTE: See owner's manual or spec sheet for proper fuel pressure specifications. ffthe gas pressure is not within specifications, contact the local gas supplier. 4) Close gas valve when completed. roP Gu Prxeure Tat Porl Fuel Rapulalor Cn Pmeurs I,Wiomatar Figure 5.5 -Checking Pressure with Manometer BTU and Pressure Dewl ~ Check Distance wRh Gas Provider ` Size Meter for Generator Load Plus ALL eyollances Loads Flex Fuel Line =-~.r.~ Safety Shut-off with Pressure Port For Underground Installations, Verify NG -BTU =Cubic feefRrour X 1000 Piping System for Code Compliance Mogajoules =Cubic metert;/hour X 37.26 Size gas pipe with Pipe Sizing Guide or to local codes.

This type of system uses the vapors formed above the liquid fuel in the storage tank. The engine has been fitted with a fuel rarburetion system that meets the specifications of the 1997 Cal'rfomia Air Resources Board fortamper-proof dual fuel systems. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas, but fl has been factory set to run on natural gas. Should the primary fuel need to be changed to LP gas, the fuel system needs to be reconfigured. See the Fuel Conversion section for instructions on converting the fuel system. Recommended fuels should have a Btu content of at least 1,000 Btus per cubic foot (37.26 megajoules per cubic meter) for natural gas; or at least 2,500 Btus per cubic foot (93.15 megajoules per cubic meter) for LP gas. Ask the fuel supplier for the Btu content of the fuel. Required fuel pressure for natural gas is 3.5.7" water column (7.13mm mercury). Required fuel pressure for for liquid propane vapor is 10-12" water column (19.22mm mercury). The primary regulator for the propane supply is NOT INCLUDED with the generator. NOTE: All pipe sizing, construction and layout must comply with NFPA 54 for natural gas applications and NFPA 58 for liquid propane applications. Once the generator is installed, verify that the fuel pressure NEVER drops below it's required fuel pressure rating. For fur- ther information regarding NFPA requirements refer to their website at www.nfpa.org. Prior to installation of the generator, the installer should consult local fuel suppliers or the fire marshal to check codes and regulations for proper installation. Laval codes will mandate coned routing of gaseous fuel line piping around gardens, shrubs and other landscaping to prevent any damage. Special considerations should be given when installing the unit where local conditions include flooding, tornados, hunicanes, earthquakes and unstable ground for the flexibility and strength of piping and their connections. Use an approved pipe sealant or joint compound on all threaded fittings. All installed gaseous fuel piping must be purged and leak tested prior to initial start-up in accordance with local codes, standards and regulations. 16 B A C Figure 3.5 -Facia Installation After completing GENERATOR PLACEMENT, proceed to Step 4: SECTION 5 -FUEL CONVERSION /GAS REQUIREMENTS / CONNECTIONS Section 5 Fuel Conversion /Gas Requirements / Connections 5.1 FUEL CONVERSION The generator was configured for natural gas operation at the factory.

All of the air-cooled generators come with a composite pad. The composte pad elevates the generator and helps prevent water from pooling around the bottom of the generator (Figure 3.1). You can place the generator with a composite pad on 4in. (102mm) of pea gravel that is compacted or on a concrete pad. Check local codes to see what type of site base is required. It a concrete pad is required, all federal, state and local codes should be followed. Place the generator on its mounting pad and position correctly as per the dimensional information given in Section 2. NOTE: Generator must be level within .Sin. (13mm). 13 Display Interface Menus The LCD display is organized as detailed below: • The "Home" page is the default page that will be displayed'rf no keys are pressed for five (5) minutes.

However, the generator still needs to be activated before it will automatically run in the event of a power outage. Activating the generator is a simple, one-time process that is guided by the controller screen prompts. Once the product is activated, the controller screen will not prompt you to activate again, even ff you disconnect the generator battery. After obtaining your activation code, please complete the following steps at the generator's control panel in the Activation Chart. Upon first power up of the generator, the display interface will begin an installation wizard. The installation wizard will prompt the user to set the minimum settings to operate the generator. These settings are: Current DateRme and Exercise DayRme. The maintenance intervals will be initialized when the exercise time is entered. The exercise settings can be changed at any time via the "EDIT" menu. If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or the fuse removed, the installation wizard will operate upon power restoration. The only difference is the display will only prompt the customer for the current Time and Date. 7.2.1 SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER This generator is equipped with an exercise timer. Once R is set, the generator will start and exercise every seven days, on the day of the week and at the time of day specified. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 12 minutes and then shuts down. Transfer of loads to the generator output does not occur during the exercise cycle unless utility power is lost. IF THE INSTALLER TESTS THE GENERATOR PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, PRESS THE "ENTER" BUTTON TO SKIP SETTING UP THE EXERCISE TIMER. 17 and 20kW units can run at 2,400 rpm while exercising. While providing the necessary periodic exercise operation, the lower rpm also reduces fuel consumption, engine wear and noise. NOTE: The exerciser will operate only when the generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work unless this procedure is per- formed. The curtent dataltime will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery Is disconnected and then reconnected, andlor when the fuse Is removed. 7.3 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP NOTE: These units have been run and tested at the factory prior to being shipped and do not require any type of break-in. A CAUTION! Never operate the engine with the oil level below the "Add" mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine. NOTE: This unit comes filled with 30 weight organic oil from the factory. Check the oil level and add the appropriate viscosity and amount if necessary. 25 San Mtaio. Tam SMRI D No. 13204-01-01 Stationery Engine Generator Assembly AAOOEI. NUMBER TBA Mlenufectured 9y oen..ac~ fy~a,u. Inc CompSent with geuse 121 of Section 4.L4 of NFPA 37 Figure 3.2 -Southwest Research Institute Decal (located inside the generator, next to the generator's data decal) http:l/www.swri.orgl4org/d011firellistlabllistprodldirector.htm Based on this testing and the requirements of NFPA 37, Sec 4.1.4, the guidelines for installation of the generators listed above are changed to 18in. (457mm) from the back side of the generator to a stationary wall or building. For adequate maintenance and airflow clearance, the area above the generator should be at least Oft. (1.22m) with a minimum of aft. (.91 m) at the front and ends of the enclosure. This would include trees, shrubs and vegetation shorter than 12in. (305mm) in height. Vegetation taller than 12in. (305mm) in height must have a clearance of 60in. (1524mm). Vegetation not in compliance with these clearance parameters could obsWcl air flow. In add'ltion, exhaust fumes from the generator could inhibit plant growth. See Figure 3.1 and the installation drawing within the owner's manual for details. Generator exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide gas. This dangerous gas can cause unconsciousness or death. Do not place the unit near windows, doors, fresh air intakes (furnaces, etc.) or any openings in the building or structure, including windows and doors of an attached garage. ®ff the generator is not set to the OFF mode, it can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected. ff the utility power supply is not fumed off, sparking can occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion. 3.2 SITE PREPARATION • Locate the mounting area as close as possible to the transfer switch and fuel supply. • Leave adequate room around the area for service access (check local code), and place high enough to keep rising water from reaching the generator. • Choose an open space that will provide adequate and unobstructed aifiow. • Place the unfl so air vents won't become clogged with leaves, grass, snow or debris. Make sure exhaust tomes will not enter the building through eaves, windows, ventilation fans or other air intakes (seethe °Site Seledion° section). • Select the type of base, gravel or concrete, as desired or as required by local laws or codes. Verrfy your kxxl requirements before selecting. 3.2.1 CRUSHED STONE OR GRAVEL • D'lg a rectangular area approximately Sin. (127mm) deep and about bin. (152mm) bnger and wider than the footprint of the generator. Cover with polyurethane film, if desired, and fill with pea gravel or crushed stone. Compact and level the stone. A concrete pad can t>e pooled 'd desired or required. The pad should be 45in. (102-127mm) thick and extend bin. (152mm) beyond the outside of the generator in all directions. NOTE: ff a concrete pad is required, follow all applicable Federal, State or local codes. 12 7,3.1 Installation Assistant Interconnect System Seff Test Feature (follow the on-screen prompts) Upon power up, this controller will go through a system seH test which will check for the presence of utlity voltage on the DC circuits. This is done to prevent damage 'rf the installer mistakenly connects AC utility power sense wires into the DC terminal bock. If utility voltage is detected, the controller will display a warning message and lock out the generator, preventing damage to the controller. Power to the controller must be removed to clear this warning. Utility voltage must be fumed on and present at the N1 and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for this test to be performed and pass. NOTE: The generetor is to be run with all appropriate panels in place, Including during troubleshooting by a technician. 7.3.2 Before starting, complete the following: t. Ensure that the generator is OFF. 2. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to the OFF (or OPEN) position. 3. Turn off all breakers that will Ire powered by the generator. 4. Check the engine crankcase oil level and,'rf necessary, fill to the dipstick FULL mark with the recommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark. 5. Check the fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must have been property purged and leak tested in accordance with applicable fuelyas codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open. During initial start up only, the generator may exceed the normal number of start attempts and experience an "overcrank" fault. This is due to accumulated air in the fuel system during installation. Reset the control board by pushing the OFF button and ENTER key, and restart up to two more times ff necessary. If unit fails to start, contact a local dealer for assistance. 7.4 CHECK MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCH OPERATION Refer to the "Manual Transfer Operation" section of the owner's manual for procedures. r a ©Do not attempt manual transfer switch operation until all power voltage supplies to the transfer switch have been positively fumed off. Failure to turn off all power voltage supplies will resuN in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock. 7.5 ELECTRICAL CHECKS Complete electrical checks as follows: 1. Ensure that the generator is OFF. 2. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to the OFF (or OPEN) position. 3. Turn OFF all circuit breakerslelectrical loads that will be supplied by the generator. 4. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer switch using the means provided (such as a utility main line cirouit breaker). r a• The transfer swikh is now electrically "hot," Contact with "hot" parts will resuh in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal L7,electriral shock. Proceed with caution. 5. Use an accurate AC votimeter to check utility power source voltage across transfer switch terinals N7 and N2. Nominal line-to-line voltage should be 240 volts AC. If it's not, verify AC output and wiring from utility source to N1 and N2 lugs at transfer switch. 6. Check utility power source voltage across terminals N 1 and the transfer switch neutral lug; then across terminal N2 and neutral. Nominal line-to- neutral voltage should be 120 volts AC. If it's not, verity AC output and wiring from utility source to N1 and N2 lugs at transfer swRch. 7. When certain that utility supply voltage is compatible with transfer switch and load circuit retings, turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch. 8. On the generator panel, push the MANUAL button. The engine should crank and start. 9. Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to albw internal temperatures to stabilize. Then, set the generator's main circuit breaker to its ON (or CLOSED) Poston. r ~ ©Proceed with cautianl Generator power votage is now supplied to the transfer switch. Contact with live transfer switch parts will resuR in dangerous and possibly fatal electrical shock. 10. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and a frequency meter across transfer switch terminal lugs E1 and E2. Voltage should be 238-242 at a frequency of 59.5-60.5 Hertz. If it's not, verify that the MLCB is ckued and verify AC output and frequency (Hertz or Hz) at the MLCB. Also verify wiring from generator to E1 and E2 lugs at transfer switch. 2i Section 3 Site Selection and Preparation 3.1 SITE SELECTION No operable windows or openings in the wall permitted wdhin SR.
