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
generating set system installations. Installations
must strictly comply with all applicable codes,
industry standards and regulations.
Your generating set 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.

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 generating
set installation.
To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at
which you purchased your generating set, your dealer,
a licensed electrician or your utility power provider.
The generating set 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.

For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:

For most applications, the installation manual contains
all the information required to properly install and start
the generating set. This operator's manual describes
routine operation and owner maintenance procedures.

Owner Orientation

This section provides generating set 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 generating set. 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 generating set
installation.
In some areas you may need to acquire electrical
permits for installing the generating set, 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.
