General Information
4. When connecting the gas line to the generator, use the
provided section of UL Listed or AGA-approved flexible fuel
line in accordance with local regulations. The purpose of the
flexible fuel line is to ensure that vibration from the generator
does not cause a gas leak at one of the connection points, so
it's important that the line be installed with as few bends as
possible.
5. Never bend the flexible fuel line to avoid using an elbow.
Bending the flexible line decreases its ability to absorb
vibrations and defeats its purpose as well as constricts the
actual fuel flow.
6. After checking for leaks, check the gas pressure at the
REGULATOR to make sure there's enough gas pressure for
generator operation. See Owner's Manual for fuel pressure
specifications. If not within these limits, contact your local gas
supplier.

shutoff valve.
EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Some of the materials shown in the installation instructions must
be purchased separately and are not included with the generator.
1. Drill an appropriate size hole, and feed the pre-wired conduit
running from the transfer switch through the hole.
2. Remove the knockout in the back of the connection box, feed
the wires through the back of the box and secure the conduit
with the lock nut.
Seal the hole with silicone caulk. Don't forget to caulk the hole
inside the house as well.
