Protection Systems

The generator may have to run for long periods of time
with no operator present to monitor the engine/generator
conditions. Therefore, the generator is equipped with a
number of systems to automatically shut down the unit to
protect it against potentially damaging conditions. Some
of these systems are as follows:
Alarms:
•
High Temperature
•
Low Oil Pressure
•
Overcrank
•
Overspeed
•
Overvoltage
•
Undervoltage
•
Overload
Warnings:
•
Charger Warning
•
Charger Missing AC
•
Low Battery
•
Battery Problem
The control panel contains a display which alerts the
operator when a fault condition occurs. The above list is
not all inclusive. For more information about alarms and
control panel operation, see Section 3 Operation.
NOTE: A warning will indicate a condition, on the
generator, that should be addressed but not shut the
generator down. An alarm will shut the generator down to
protect the system from any damage. In the event of an
alarm, an owner can clear the alarm and restart the
generator prior to contacting an Independent Authorized
Service Dealer. If the intermittent issue occurs again,
contact an Independent Authorized Service Dealer.

Emission Information

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US
EPA) (and California Air Resources Board (CARB), for
engines/equipment certified to California standards)
requires that this engine/equipment complies with
exhaust and evaporative emissions standards. Locate
the emissions compliance decal on the engine to
determine applicable standards. For emissions warranty
information, please reference the included emissions
warranty. It is important to follow the maintenance
specifications in Section 4
the engine complies with the applicable emissions
standards for the duration of the product's life.
This generator is certified to operate on Liquid Propane
Vapor fuel or pipeline Natural Gas.
The Emission Control System code is EM (Engine
Modification). The Emission Control System on this
generator consists of the following:

Fuel Requirements

DANGER
Explosion and Fire. Fuel and vapors are
extremely flammable and explosive. Add fuel
in a well ventilated area. Keep fire and spark
away. Failure to do so will result in death
or serious injury.
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 1000 Btus per cubic foot (37.26 megajoules per
cubic meter) for natural gas, or at least 2500 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 Installation Manual for complete
procedures and details.

Battery Requirements

Group 26R, 12V, minimum 540 CCA.
For proper battery maintenance procedures, see Section
4 Maintenance.

Battery Charger

The battery charger is integrated into the control panel
module in all models. It operates as a Smart Charger
which ensures output charging levels are safe and
continuously optimized to promote maximum battery life.

Engine Oil Requirements

For proper oil viscosity, see chart in
