Fuel Factors

An important consideration affecting the entire installation
is the type of fuel used by your generator. The system was
factory tested and adjusted using either natural gas or liquid
propane (LP vapor). For proper engine function, factors
that are inherent to each of these fuels, your location and
the duration of possible utility interruptions are important
considerations in the following fuel guidelines:
• Use clean, dry fuel, free of moisture or any
particulate material. Using fuels outside the following
recommended values may cause performance problems.
• In engines set up to run on propane (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%.
Natural gas rating will depend on specific fuel but typical
derates are between 10 to 20% off the LP gas rating.
WARNING Propane and Natural Gas are extremely
flammable and explosive, which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury.
• The generator 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%
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.

Delivery Inspection

Carefully inspect the generator for any damage that may have
occurred during shipment.
If loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the

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 and your
installer for claim procedures. Missing or damaged parts are
not warranted.
