Fuel Conversion - Rheem GEN27WN Manuel D'installation

Fuel Conversion

The unit is shipped from the factory calibrated for NG or LP
vapor operation. To convert the engine from NG to LP vapor
or from LP vapor to NG operation, follow these steps:
1. Set generator main circuit breaker to OFF.
2. Set control panel system switch to OFF.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from system control panel.
4. Remove Zero Pressure Regulator (ZPR) tower cap (A).
The Main Adjust control is shown as (B).
A
5. Calibrate O 2 sensor per Analyzer manufacturer
specification. Install O 2 sensor into exhaust pipe.
NOTE: Technician supplies O 2 sensor and analyzer.
6. Attach timing light to #1 spark plug on engine (see
engine manual for diagram).
7, Re-install 15 Amp fuse in system control panel.
8. Set generator main circuit breaker to ON.
9. Set control panel System switch to AUTO.
10. After purging fuel supply line, push and hold
MANUAL OVER-RIDE button on control panel for six
seconds. When engine starts, allow unit to warm up for
ten minutes under no load.
NOTE: If utility power is not connected, the generator
will start automatically.
11. Using technician-supplied timing light, locate timing
marks on crankshaft vibration dampener.
12. If timing is not within specification, loosen distributor
hold-down clamp. While observing timing indicator,
adjust distributor as listed below:
LP = 20 degrees before top dead center at no load
NG = 32 degrees before top dead center at no load
NOTE: Timing values are approved by PSI engineering.
13. Tighten distributor hold-down clamp.

14. While observing O 2 Analyzer readout, adjust zero
pressure regulator (A) and main adjustment (B) screws
to obtain stoichiometric value shown in table. Select
table value that corresponds to your O 2 Analyzer
display. The shaded line in table indicates optimum
target value.

15. Using technician-supplied load, add half load to
generator. Check and adjust (A) and (B) to achieve
target value.
16. Using technician-supplied load, add full load to
generator. Check and adjust (A) and (B) to achieve
target value.
17. Remove load and check if sensor value remained in
target area. If needed, adjust (A) and (B) to achieve
target value.
18. Add half, then full load to generator. Recheck and verify
sensor value remains in target area.
IMPORTANT: It may take several attempts to achieve the
target setting. Continue to test and adjust with engine
stabilized at no, half and full loads until target value is
achieved at all generator loads.
19. Remove load from generator. Allow generator to run
for ten minutes to stabilize internal temperatures. Turn
control panel system switch to OFF.
WARNING Contact with muffler and engine parts can
result in serious burns.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
20. Remove 15 Amp fuse from system control panel.
21. Install the ZPR tower cap, remove O 2 sensor, and
timing light.
22. Re-install 15 Amp fuse in system control panel.
23. Set exercise timer.
24. Complete emissions statement and send with
installation checklist.
