Owner Orientation

NOT

for

REPRODUCTION

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

Fuel Factors

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 effect 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.

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), use commercial grade HD5 propane with a minimum fuel energy of 2500 BTUs/ft 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.

with maximum propylene

WARNING Propane and Natural Gas are extremely flammable

and explosive, which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

• The residential 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 3.5% 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.

Generator Location

NOT

for

REPRODUCTION

The actual physical location of your generator has a direct affect on:

1. The amount of plumbing required to fuel your generator.

2. The amount of wiring required to control and connect your generator.

Specific location guidelines are discussed in the installation manual. Acquaint yourself with that information and confer with your installer. Be sure to ask how your site might affect installation costs and compliance with local codes and standards.

The generator must be installed outdoors. DO NOT install generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building. Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust gas to collect in a confined area. Prevailing winds and air currents should be taken into consideration when positioning generator. See the installation manual for full details on safe generator location.

Important Owner’s Considerations

Engine Oil

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in equipment failure.

• Refer to Maintenance section for coolant and oil fill information.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void engine and generator warranty.

The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for system operation in a wide range of temperature and climate conditions. Before starting the engine, check oil level and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the

Maintenance section.

Coolant System

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with a 50-50 mix of automotive (Ethylene glycol) anti-freeze and water. This will provide optimum year round protection against freezing, boiling and corrosion. The coolant system incorporates an optional water heater that operates with a fixed thermostat set at 100°F - 120°F (39°C - 49°C) AND utility power is present at the transfer switch. Before starting the engine, check coolant level as described in the Maintenance section

Battery

WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

The installer must supply a valve-regulated, rechargeable 12 volt DC starting battery. See Battery in Final Installation Considerations in the installation manual.

With the battery installed, all wiring to transfer switch and generator completed, utility power supplied to the automatic transfer switch, and the unit in AUTO mode, the battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not running. The trickle charge cannot be used to recharge a battery that is completely discharged.

15 Amp Fuse

The monitor communicates wirelessly with the generator control panel.

Your installer will ensure the wireless monitor is communicating with the generator control panel during the installation process.

Automatic Operation

NOT

for

REPRODUCTION

The generator’s control board constantly monitors utility voltage. Should utility voltage drop below a preset level, the control board will signal the engine to crank and start.

When utility voltage is restored above a preset voltage level, the engine is signaled to shut down.

The actual system operation is not adjustable and is sequenced by sensors and timers on the control board, as follows:

Utility Voltage Dropout Sensor

• This sensor monitors utility source voltage.

• If utility source voltage drops below about 70 percent of the nominal supply voltage, the sensor energizes a 3 second timer. The timer is used to ‘sense’ brown-outs.

• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and start.

Setting Exercise Timer

Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor

This sensor monitors utility voltage. When utility voltage is restored above 80 percent of the nominal source voltage, a time delay starts timing and the engine will go to engine cool-down.

Engine Cool-down Timer

When utility power is sensed and the load transfers back to the utility source, the engine will go into a cool down period as described below:

• If the generator has run for MORE than 5 minutes, once the utility transfer occurs, the engine will continue to run for about 1 minute before shutting down.

• If the generator has run for LESS than 5 minutes, once the utility transfer occurs, the engine will continue to run until 5 minutes has elapsed before shutting down.

The generator is equipped with an exercise timer. During the exercise period, the unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts down. Electrical load transfer DOES NOT occur during the exercise cycle (unless an utility power outage occurs).

The generator will only enter the exercise cycle if the unit is in the AUTO mode and this exact procedure is followed.

To set the exercise timer:

NOTICE The generator is set with a service code exercise cycle setting of Tuesday at 2:00 P.M, Central Time. To change the cycle setting, proceed to the following steps:

The generator’s control board shows service code descriptions scrolling across the digital display. The service code descriptions are listed below:

• Low Battery Voltage

• Low Oil Pressure

• Under Voltage

• Over Voltage

• Engine Does Not Start

• Low Frequency

• Engine Overspeed

• High Oil Temperature

• Transfer Switch Service code

• No Wireless Communication

• Battery Charge Circuit

5. After all servicing has been completed, replace fuses in transfer switch, replace 15 Amp fuse in control board, set circuit breaker ON and press and hold control board AUTO button.

Reset Service code Detection System

The operator must reset the service code detection system each time it activates. To do so, press the control board OFF button for 5 seconds. Once the display turns off, leave it off for at least 30 seconds. Remedy the service code condition, then return the home generator to service by pressing and holding the control board AUTO button and installing the 15 Amp fuse (if removed).

Low Battery Voltage

This service code is indicated by Low Battery Voltage scrolling across the digital display and a single flash on the wireless monitor. This condition occurs if the battery voltage drops below the preset value. Causes for this problem may be a service code battery or battery charge circuit. See Battery Charge Circuit,

Remove the 15 Amp fuse and disconnect the battery from the generator. Test the battery voltage. If voltage meets specifications, take the battery to a local battery store for analysis. Or contact your local service center for assistance.

Reinstall the battery (replace if necessary - see Battery in Final Installation Considerations in the installation manual). Then reset the service code detection system, as described earlier.

Low Oil Pressure

NOT

for

REPRODUCTION

This service code is indicated by Low Oil Pressure scrolling across the digital display and two flashes on the wireless monitor. The unit is equipped with an oil pressure switch that uses normally closed contacts held open by engine oil pressure during operation. Should oil pressure drop below the 8 psi range, switch contacts close and the engine will shut down.

To remedy the low oil pressure condition, add the recommended oil to the FULL mark on the dipstick.

If the low oil pressure condition still exists, the engine will start, then shut down again. The service code code will

appear. In this case, contact an authorized dealer.

Under Voltage

This service code is indicated by Under Voltage scrolling across the digital display and three flashes on the wireless monitor. This condition is caused by a restriction in the fuel flow, the electronic governing system not functioning properly, a broken or disconnected signal lead, a failed alternator winding, the control board circuit breaker is open, or the generator is overloaded.

To remedy the problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

Over Voltage

This service code is indicated by Over Voltage scrolling across the digital display and three flashes on the wireless monitor. This feature protects devices connected to the transfer switch by shutting the generator down if the generator output voltage happens to increase above the preset limit.

This condition is most likely caused by a failed voltage regulator, alternator excitation circuit or a load imbalance. To remedy the problem, contact your installer or an authorized dealer.

Engine Does Not Start

This service code is indicated by Engine Does Not Start scrolling across the digital display and four flashes on the wireless monitor. This feature prevents the generator from damaging itself if it continually attempts to start in spite of another problem, such as no fuel supply. Each time the system is directed to start, the unit will crank for 10 seconds, pause for 10 seconds, and repeat. If the system does not begin producing electricity after approximately 2 minutes, the unit will stop cranking.

The most likely cause of this problem is no fuel supply or incorrect fuel selector setting. See Fuel Selection Switch in the installation manual. Check the internal and external fuel shut off valves to ensure they are fully open. Other causes could be failed spark plug(s), a loose electronic governor connection, a failed engine ignition, or the engine air filter is clogged.

5. Press and hold the control board AUTO button.

Engine Maintenance

The maintenance of an engine and related components are critical to its operating performance and lifespan. Industrial engines operate in an environment that often include hot and cold temperatures and extreme dust. The recommended maintenance schedule is listed in this section, however, environmental operating conditions and additional installed equipment may require more frequent inspection and servicing.

Engine Oil

The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and filled with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for system operation in a wide range of temperature and climate conditions.

Synthetic Oils

Synthetic oils have been available for use in industrial engines for a relatively long period of time and may offer advantages in cold and hot temperatures. However, it is not known if synthetic oils provided operational or economic benefits over conventional petroleum-based oils in industrial engines.

The owner and/or authorized service technician should review the operating conditions of the equipment to determine the inspection and maintenance intervals. Proper engine cooling and lubrication are very important, so pay particular attention to these matters.

Use of synthetic oils does not permit the extension of oil change intervals.

Visually check and physically squeeze Vacuator valve

attached to service cover to make sure it is flexible and not inverted, damaged or plugged.

5. Clean filter - Use a soft bristle brush to loosen dirt and a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and debris. Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may also be used to blow away dirt. Replace filter cartridge if any holes are detected in filter media.

6. Install clean filter properly - Insert the filter carefully. Seat the filter by hand, making certain it is completely into the air cleaner housing before securing the cover in place. To complete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the urethane end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal.

NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into

place! Using the cover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing, cover, or fasteners and will void the warranty. If the service cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, remove the cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air cleaner and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.

7. Reinstall service cover - Once the filter is in place, reinstall the service cover, positioning the cover with the arrow and the word TOP to the top. Fasten the top clip first, the bottom two clips last. Make sure that all mounting bands, clamps, bolts, and connections in the entire air cleaner system are tight and verify absence of holes in piping - repair if needed.

REPRODUCTION

Your Warranty Rights And Obligations

September 2010

General Information

The U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain

the emissions control system warranty on your Model Year 2010 and later engine / equipment. In the U.S., new Emergency Standby Engines greater than 25 HP must be designed, built, and equipped to meet stringent emission standards. B&S must warrant the emissions control system on your engine / equipment.

See Denition of appropriate use of Emergency Standby below.

The emission-related warranty covers all components whose failure would increase an engine’s non-evaporative emissions of any regulated pollutant referenced below.

Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:

Briggs & Stratton warrants that the engine is free from defects in material and workmanship, and is also designed, built, and equipped to conform to applicable regulations under Section 213 of the Clean Air Act, from the time the engine is sold, until the expiration of its warranty period. This warranty applies to all emission related engine components whose failure would cause engine exhaust emissions to be out of EPA compliance. Further, this warranty also applies to other engine components damaged due to the failure of any of these emissions related components. If a warrantable emissions related component on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor. Warranty coverage period is two years from date of original

purchase, and is oered to the original purchaser and each

subsequent purchaser so long as Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities are adhered to.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:

• Warranty claims shall be led according to the provisions of the Briggs & Stratton Warranty Policy.

• An engine may not be warrantable if subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, improper maintenance, unapproved

modications, accidents not caused by Briggs & Stratton

engines or equipment, or by acts of God.

• Only those engines used as an Emergency Stationary Engine,

as dened below, are warrantable.

• You are responsible for presenting your engine / equipment to a B&S distribution center, servicing dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact B&S at 1-800-233-3723 or BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM.

• If any component not scheduled for maintenance is repaired or replaced under this warranty, the new part will be warranted only for the remaining warranty period.

• If a warrantable component scheduled for maintenance

fails prior to its rst scheduled replacement, the part will

be repaired or replaced by B&S at no charge to the owner. Any such component is only warrantable until the originally scheduled maintenance period has expired.

• Add on or modied parts that are not exempted by the EPA may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add on or

modied parts by the owner will be grounds for disallowing a

warranty claim. The manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures or warranted parts caused by the use of a non-

exempted add on or modied part.

Emergency Stationary Engine Deﬁnition

An Emergency Stationary Engine is dened as any stationary internal combustion engine whose operation is limited to emergency situations and

required testing and maintenance. Examples include stationary engines used to produce power for critical networks or equipment (including power supplied to portions of a facility) when electric power from the local utility (or the normal power source, if the facility runs on its own power

production) is interrupted, or stationary engines used to pump water in the case of re or ood, etc. Stationary engines used for peak shaving

are not considered emergency stationary engines. Stationary engines used to supply power to an electric grid or that supply power as part of

a nancial arrangement with another entity are not considered to be emergency engines. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for the

purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing, provided that the tests are recommended by Federal, State or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance checks and readiness testing of such units is limited to 100 hours per year. There is no time limit on the use of emergency stationary engines in emergency situations. The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for approval of additional hours to be used for maintenance checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year. Emergency stationary ICE may operate up to 50 hours per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for maintenance and testing. The 50 hours per year for non-emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an electric grid or otherwise supply power

as part of a nancial arrangement with another entity. For owners and operators of emergency engines, any operation other than emergency

operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in non-emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted above is prohibited.

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas

gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is aected

by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines

are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This dierence is due

to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.
