Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel joules/Btu, ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5 percent for each
304.8 meters (1000 feet) above sea level, and also will decrease about 1 percent for each 1 ºC (10 ºF) above 15 ºC (60 ºF) ambient temperature.
The specification sheet for your generator was included in the documentation provided with the unit at the time of purchase. For additional cop-
ies, consult your local Authorized Service Dealer for your specific generator model.
2.5 — 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 carbureted
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 joules (Btu) content
of at least 37.26 megajoules per cubic meter (1000 Btus
per cubic foot) for natural gas, or at least 93.15
megajoules per cubic meter (2500 Btus per cubic foot) for
LP gas (vapor).
NOTE: If converting to LP gas from natural gas, a mini-
mum LP tank size of 946 liters (250 gallons) is recom-
