Installation

We sincerely appreciate your patronage. For this reason, we
have made every effort to provide for a safe, streamlined
and cost-effective installation. Because each installation is
unique, it is impossible to know of and advise the trade of all
conceivable procedures and methods by which installation
might be achieved. Neither could we know of possible
hazards and/or the results of each method or procedure.
For these reasons, only current licensed electrical and
plumbing professionals should attempt generator system
installations. Installations must strictly comply with all
applicable codes, industry standards and regulations.
Your generator is supplied with this "Operator's Manual"
and a separate "Installation Manual". These are important
documents and should be retained by the owner after the
installation has been completed.
This product is only for use as an optional generator system
which provides an alternate source of electric power and
to serve loads such as heating, refrigeration systems, and
communication systems that, when stopped during any power
outage, could cause discomfort or inconvenience.
NOTICE This product does NOT qualify for either an
emergency standby or legally required standby system as
defined by NFPA 70 (NEC).
• Emergency generator systems are intended to
automatically supply illumination, power, or both, to
designated areas and equipment in the event of failure
of the normal supply. Emergency systems may also
provide power for such functions as ventilation where
essential to maintain life, where current interruption of
the normal supply would produce serious life safety or
health hazards.
• Legally Required standby generator systems are
intended to automatically supply power to selected
loads in the event of failure of the normal source
which could create hazards or hamper rescue or fire-
fighting operations.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this
manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the right
to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product and this
document at any time without prior notice.
Only current licensed electrical and plumbing professionals
should attempt generator system installations. Installations
must strictly comply with all applicable codes, industry
standards, laws and regulations.
For the Owner:
To help you make informed choices and communicate
effectively with your installation contractor(s), read and
understand Owner Orientation in this manual before
contracting or starting your generator installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at which
you purchased your generator, your dealer, a licensed
electrician or your utility power provider.
The generator warranty is VOID unless the system is
installed by licensed electrical and plumbing professionals.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this
manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the
right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product and
this document at any time without prior notice.
The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted
for standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency and by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:

the information required to properly install and start the
generator. This operator's manual describes routine operation
and owner maintenance procedures.
If you need more information in this matter, please call
800 732-2989, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT.

Owner Orientation

This section provides generator owners 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 your generator. A thorough understanding of these
options will provide fundamental control over the cost of
your installation, as well as ensure your 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. Remember
that as the distance from the existing electrical service and
gaseous fuel supply increases, and the number of 90 degree
bends in the fuel supply increases, compensations in piping
and wiring materials must be made. This is necessary to
comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage
drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.
The factors mentioned above will have a direct affect on
the overall price of your generator installation.
In some areas you may need to acquire electrical permits
for installing the 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 system.
