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 will 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
Servicing Dealer. If the intermittent issue occurs again,
contact an independent Authorized Servicing Dealer.

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 (joules) 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
