General Information
Only qualified electricians or contractors should

attempt such installations, which must comply
strictly with applicable codes, standards and
regulations.
1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage.
• This standby generator set is ready for installation with a factory
supplied and pre-mounted base pad and has a weather protec-
tive enclosure that is intended for outdoor installation only.
• This UL listed standby generator set may be packaged with an
automatic transfer switch with built in load center. The combi-
nation transfer switch and load center is pre-wired with a two
foot and 30 foot conduit. Circuit breakers for emergency circuit
connections are included (if equipped).
• This UL listed, 2-pole switch is rated at 100 or 200 AC amperes
at 250 volts maximum. The 100 Amp transfer switch is for
indoor use only. The 200 Amp transfer switch is for indoor/
outdoor use (if equipped).

It is required by code that generators used to
power electrical load circuits normally powered
by a utility power source have a transfer switch
installed. The transfer switch must effectively iso-
late the electrical system from the utility distribu-
tion system when the generator is operating (NEC
700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an electrical
system by such means will result in damage to the
generator and also may result in injury or death to
utility power workers due to backfeed of electrical
energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the
person(s) making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill
or affix their signature under the consignor's memo of loss or
damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged
materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
"Concealed damage" is understood to mean damage to the con-
tents of a package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery,
but is discovered later.
To properly open the roof, press down on the center top lip and
release the latch. If pressure is not applied from the top, the roof
may appear stuck. Always verify that the side lock is unlocked
before attempting to lift the roof.

1.2 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Unlike an automobile engine, the generator may have to run for
long periods of time with no operator present to monitor engine
conditions. For that reason, the engine is equipped with the follow-
ing systems that protect it against potentially damaging conditions:
1. Low Oil Pressure Sensor
2. High Temperature Sensor
3. Overcrank
4. Overspeed
5. RPM Sensor
There are readouts on the control panel to notify personnel that
one of these failures has occurred. There is a Status message on
the display that displays when all of the conditions described in the
"Ready to Run" section are true.
1.3 NEC REQUIREMENTS
Local code enforcement may require that AFCI's be incorporated
into the transfer switch distribution panel. The Transfer Switch pro-
vided with this generator has a distribution panel that will accept
AFCI's.
Siemens Part No. Q115AF - 15A or Q120AF - 20A can be obtained
from a local electrical wholesaler and will simply replace any of
the single pole circuit breakers supplied in the Transfer Switch
distribution panel.
1.4 EMISSION INFORMATION
The Environmental Protection Agency requires that this generator
complies with exhaust emission standards. This generator is certi-
fied to meet the applicable EPA emission levels. Additional infor-
mation regarding the requirements set by the EPA is as follows:
The generator is certified for use as a stationary engine for standby
power generation. Any other use may be a violation of federal and/
or local laws. It is important to follow the maintenance specifica-
tions in the "Maintenance" section to ensure that the engine com-
plies with the applicable emission standards for the duration of the
engine's life. This engine is certified to operate on Liquid Propane
fuel and pipeline Natural Gas. The emission control system on the
generator consists of the following:
• Fuel Metering System
• Carburetor/mixer assembly
• Fuel regulator
• Air Induction System
• Intake pipe/manifold
• Air cleaner
• Ignition System
• Spark plug
• Ignition module
The Emissions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions
Compliance Label indicates the number of operating hours for
which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission
requirements. See the table below to determine the compliance
period for the generator. The displacement and category of the
generator is listed on the Emissions Compliance Label.
