INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-cooled,
engine-driven generator. It is designed to automatically supply electrical
power to operate critical loads during a utility power failure.
This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that is
intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This generator will operate
using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).
This generator is suitable for supplying typical residential loads
such as Induction Motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air con-
ditioners, furnaces, etc.), Electronic Components (computer,
monitor, TV, etc.), Lighting Loads and Microwaves.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the nearest Dealer
for starting, operating and servicing procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to
alert personnel to special instructions about a particular operation that
may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them
carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION WHICH, IF
NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure and will
be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate.
Common sense and strict compliance with the special instructions while
performing the action or service are essential to preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each indicates
is as follows:
This symbol points out important safety information that,
if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or
property of others.
This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.
This symbol points out potential electrical shock hazard.
