OWNER ORIENTATION
This section provides the Home Standby Generator owner
with the information necessary to achieve the most
satisfactory and cost effective installation possible.
The illustrations are for typical circumstances and are meant
to familiarize you with the installation options available with
the Home Standby Generator. A thorough understanding of
these options will provide fundamental control over the cost
of installation, as well as ensure final satisfaction and security.
Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types,
and distances are the factors that must be considered when
negotiating with an installation professional. As the distance
from the existing electrical service and gaseous fuel supply
increases, so must the piping and wiring materials. This is
necessary to comply with local codes, overcome electrical
voltage drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.
The factors mentioned above will have a direct affect on the
overall price of your Home Standby Generator installation.
NOTE: In some areas you may need to acquire electrical
permits for installing the Home Standby Generator, building
permits for installing gas lines, and permits for noise
allowances. Your installer should check your local codes AND
obtain the permits before installing the generator.
Fuel Factors
An important consideration affecting the entire installation is
the type of fuel used by your Home Standby Generator. The
generator was factory tested and adjusted using natural gas
as a fuel. liquid propane vapor (LP) may also be used as fuel
by installing the included conversion kit.
For proper generator performance, the following fuel
guidelines are recommended:
In engines set up to run on liquid propane vapor (LP),
commercial grade HD5 propane with a minimum fuel
energy of 2500 BTUs/ft³ with maximum propylene content
of 5% and butane and heavier gas content of 2.5% and
minimum propane content of 90%.
WARNING
Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
• The Home Generator System is equipped with an automatic
safety gas "fuel shut-off" valve.
• DO NOT operate the equipment if the "fuel shut-off" valve is
missing or inoperative.

Power Decrease at High Altitude or High Temperature
Air density is less at high altitudes, resulting in less available
engine power. Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5%
for each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for
each 10° F (5.6°C) above 77°F (25°C). Make sure you and
your installer consider these factors when determining total
generator load.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Unpacking Precautions
The unit is shipped bolted to its mounting pad, ready for
installation. Avoid damage from dropping, bumping,
collision, etc. Store and unpack carton with the proper side
up, as noted on the shipping carton.
Delivery Inspection
After removing the carton, carefully inspect the Home
Standby Generator for any damage that may have occurred
during shipment.
IMPORTANT: If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery,
have the person(s) making delivery note all damage on the
freight bill and affix his signature under the consignor's
memo of loss or damage. If loss or damage is noted after
delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the
carrier for claim procedures. Missing or damaged parts are
not warranted.
Approved Transfer Switches
The Home Standby Generator should be used ONLY with
Briggs & Stratton Power Products UL approved Transfer
Switches. Connection to any other transfer switch will void
your generator warranty.
