Battery
WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds - chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
The installer must supply and install a valve-regulated
rechargeable starting battery. The starting battery MUST
conform to the specifications shown in this chart.

Install the battery as described in Servicing the Battery in
the Maintenance section of the operator's manual. Always
make sure the NEGATIVE cable is connected last.
Initial Start-up (No Load)
Unit has been set-up for NG or LP vapor operation at the
factory. Fuel conversion, if needed, must be completed prior
to performing these steps.
Before operating the generator or placing it into service,
inspect the entire installation carefully. Then begin testing the
system without any electrical loads connected, as follows:
1. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and a frequency
meter to check generator output at load side of
circuit breaker.
2. Set generator's circuit breaker to its OFF
(open) position.
3. Confirm fuse is installed in system control panel.
4. Start generator via system control panel. Refer to
specific controllers instructions if needed.
When the generator is started for the very first time, it
will require that air in the gaseous fuel lines be purged.
This may take a few minutes.
5. Listen for unusual noises, vibration or other indications
of abnormal operation. Check for oil or coolant leaks
while engine runs.
6. Using a phase rotation meter, verify generator output at
load side of circuit breaker matches utility power.
On high-leg delta configurations, ensure that the high
leg position of the generator matches the high leg
position of the utility.
7. Let engine warm up for about five minutes to allow
internal temperatures to stabilize.
8. No-load voltage should be set according to the chart
shown to the right. Frequency should be 59.8 - 60.2 Hz.
If AC voltage is outside these ranges, perform the
generator adjustment, Steps 12 and 13 below.
9. Check generator output between each of the generator
connection lugs and the neutral lug with the chart at the
right.
DO NOT proceed until you are certain that generator AC
voltage is correct and within the stated limits. Generator
frequency is fixed and not adjustable.
10. If voltage and frequency values are correct, proceed to
step 13.
11. Connect voltmeter as described in step 1 above.
A
12. While observing voltmeter, adjust alternator voltage
control (A) to range specified. DO NOT adjust either of
the other alternator controls.
13. Shutdown generator via system control panel. Refer to
specific controllers instructions if needed.
14. Install circuit breaker enclosure cover and set circuit
breaker to ON (closed) position.
* Refer to the table below to determine proper no-load
voltage.
