Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual 1

1.1 m General Safety

Study these safety rules carefully before operating or servicing this equipment. Becomefamiliar with this Owner's Manual and with the unit. The
generator can operate safely,efficiently and reliably only if it is properly installed, operated and maintained. Many accidents are caused byfailing
to follow simple and fundamental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and on tags and
decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive, if using a procedure, work method or operating technique the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, ensure that it is safe for personnel. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique utilized does not
render the generator unsafe.

Despite the safe design of this generator, operating this equipment imprudently, neglecting its maintenance or

being careless can cause possible injury or death. Permit only responsible and capable persons to install, operate
and maintain this equipment.

Potentially lethal voltages are generated by these machines. Ensure steps are taken to make the machine safe
beforeattempting to work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot during operation. Exercise care near a running generator.

The installation of this generator must always comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations.

A running generator gives off DEADLY carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness,

sleepiness, inability to think clearly, fainting, unconsciousness or even death.

A CAUTION!

The control panel for this unit is intended to be operated by qualified service personnel only.

1.2 m General Safety Hazards

• For safety reasons, this equipment should only be installed, serviced and repaired by a Service Dealer or other competent, qualified electri-
cian or installation technician who is familiar with applicable codes, standards, regulations and product Installation Manual guidelines. The
operator also must comply with all such codes, standards, regulations and product installation Manual guidelines.

• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can be DEADLY.This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can
cause unconsciousness or even death. DO NOT alter or add to the exhaust system or do anything that might render the system unsafe or in

noncompliance with applicable codes and standards.

• Install a carbon monoxide alarm indoors, according to manufacturer's instructions/recommendations.

• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and ventilating air is critical for correct generator operation. Do not alter the installation or permit even

partial blockage of ventilation provisions, as this can seriously affect safe operation of the generator. The generator MUST be installed and

operated outdoors only.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc. away from drive belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Neverremove any drive belt or fan guard while the

unit is operating.

• When working on this equipment, remain alert at all times. Neverwork on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.

• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the nearest Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.

• Before performing any maintenance on the generator, remove the control panel fuse and disconnect the Negative (--) battery cable to pre-
vent accidental startup. When disconnecting battery cables always remove the NEGATIVE (NEG or "--") cable first, then remove the

POSITVE (POS, or "+") cable. When reconnecting the cables, connect the POSITIVE cable first, and the NEGATIVE cable last.

• Never use thegenerator or any of its parts as a step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result indangerous operating
conditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.

2 Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

1.3 m Exhaust Hazards

Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can

cause dizziness, throbbing temples, nausea, muscular twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness, inability to think clearly, fainting,

unconsciousness or even death. Ifany carbon monoxide poisoning symptom is experienced, move into fresh air and immediately seek med-
ical attention.

This generator is designed for OUTDOOR installation ONLY.Never operate the generator inside any garage or other enclosed space.

1.4 m Electrical Hazards

All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages that can causefatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers
extremely high and dangerous voltages to thetransfer switch, as does the standby generator when it is in operation. Avoid contact with bare
wires, terminals, connections, etc. while the unit is running. Ensure all appropriate covers, guards and barriers are in place, secured and/or

locked before operating the generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce potential

shock hazard.

Donot handleanykindofelectricaldevicewhilestandinginwater,while barefoot,orwhilehandsorfeetarewet.DANGEROUSELECTRI-
CALSHOCKMAYRESULT.

• This is an Automatic Standby Generator, the generator may crank and start at any time when utility is lost. When this occurs, load circuits are
transferred to the STANDBY (generator) power source. To prevent injury, before working on this generator (for inspection, service or mainte-

nance), always put the generator into the OFF mode and remove the 7.5 Amp fuse from the generator control panel.

• In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power, if this is not possible, attempt to free the
victim from the live conductor. AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. Use a nonconducting implement, such as a dry rope or board,
to free the victim from the live conductor, if the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

• Neverwear jewelry when working on this equipment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may getcaught in moving
components resulting in injury.

1.5 Fire Hazards

• For fire safety,the generator must be installed and maintained properly, installation MUST always comply with applicable codes, standards,

laws, regulationsand product installation Manual guidelines. Adhere strictly to local, state, and national electrical and building codes. Comply
with regulations the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established. Also, ensure that the generator is installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. Following proper installation, do nothing that mightalter asafe instal-

lation and render the unit in noncompliance with the aforementioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.

• Keep a fire extinguisher near the generator at all times. Extinguishers rated "ABC" by the National Fire Protection Association are appropriate
for use on the standby generator. Keepthe extinguisher properly charged and befamiliar with its use. Consult the local fire department with
any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.

1.6 Explosion Hazards

• Donot smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel oroil spills immediately. Ensurethat no combustible materials are left in the generator
compartment, or on or near the generator as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keepthe area surrounding the generator clean and free from

debris.

• Gaseous fluids such as natural gas and liquid propane (LP) gas are extremely EXPLOSIVE. install the fuel supply system according to appli-
cable fuel-gas codes. Before placing the home standby electric system into service, fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak
tested according to applicable code. After installation, inspect the fuel system periodically for leaks. No leakage can be permitted.

Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual 3

Ifthis generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility powersource, it is
required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively isolatethe electrical system

from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating (NEC 702). Failure to isolate an electrical
system by such means will result in damage to the generator and also may result in injury or death to utility

powerworkers due to backfeed of electrical energy.

source).

2. Be sure that normal UTILITY power source voltage is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 and N2.

3. Press the AUTO button on the Control Panel Interface.

4. Set the Main Circuit Breaker (Generator Disconnect) to its ON (Closed) position.
With these steps complete, the generator will start automatically when utility source voltage drops below a preset level. After the unit starts, loads

are transferred to the standby power source.

3.4.1m Automatic Sequence of Operation

3.4.1.1 m Utility Failure

With the generator set toAUTO, when the utilityfails (below 65% of nominal) a 10second (optionally programmable) line interrupt delay time is
started. If the utility is still gone when the timer expires, the engine will crank and start. Once started, a 5 second engine warm-up timer will be ini-
tiated. When the warm-up time expires, the controller will transfer the load to the generator. If the utility power is restored (above 75% nominal) at
any time from the initiation of the engine start until the generator is readyto accept load (5 second warm-up time has not elapsed), the controller
will complete the start cycle and run thegenerator through its normal cool down cycle, however, the load will remain on the utility source.

3.4.1.2 m Cranking

The system will control the cyclic cranking as follows:

8kW unit- 5 cranking cycles as follows: 15 second crank, seven (7) second rest, followed by four (4) additional cycles of seven (7) second
cranks followed by seven (7) second rests.

11-20kW units - 5 cranking cycles asfollows: 16second crank, seven (7) second rest, 16 second crank, seven (7) second rest,followed by
three (3) additional cycles of seven (7) second cranks followed by seven (7) second rests.

Figure 4-3: Spark Plug Gap Adjustment

22 Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

4.6 m Valve Lash Adjustment

After the first 25 hours of operation and then at every 400 hour interval afterwards, check the valve clearance. Adjust if necessary.

Important: Please contact the Dealer for service assistance. This is a very important step to ensure longest lifefor the engine.

Tocheck valve clearance:

• The engine should be cool before checking. If valve clearance is 0.002" - 0.004" (0.05 - 0.1mm), adjustment is not needed.

• Remove spark plug wires and position wires away from plugs.

• Remove spark plugs.

• Make sure thepiston is at TopDead Center (TDC) of its compression stroke (both valves closed). Toget the piston at TDC, remove the intake

screen at the front of the engine to gainaccess to the flywheel nut. Use a large socket and socket wrench to rotate the nutand hence the
engine in aclockwise direction. While watching the piston through the spark plug hole.The pistonshould move up and down. The piston is at
TDC when it is at its highest point of travel.

Toadjust valve clearance (see Figure 4-4):

• Make sure the engine is at 60° to 80° F (16° to 27° C).

• Make sure that the spark plugwire is removed from the spark plug and out of the way.

• Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover.

• Loosen therocker jam nut. Using a 10ramAllen wrench (530cc engine) or a 13ramAllen wrench (410cc, 990cc and 999cc engines), turn the

pivot ball stud while checking clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stemwith a feeler gauge. Correct clearance is 0.002-0.004
inch (0.05-0.1 mm).

NOTE: Hold the rocker arm jam nut in placeas the pivot ball stud is turned.

• When valve clearance iscorrect, hold the pivot ball stud in place with the Allen wrench and tighten the rocker arm jam nut. Tighten the jam nut

to 174 in-lbs. (19.68 N-m) torque. After tightening the jam nut, recheck valve clearance to make sure it did not change.

• Install new valve cover gasket.

• Re-attach the valve cover.

NOTE: Start all four screws before tightening or it will not be possible to get all the screws in place. Make sure the valve cover gasket
is in place.

• Install spark plugs.

• Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.

• Repeat the process for theother cylinder, if necessary.

Valve

Stem

1. With the generator shut down, lift the lid and remove the front panel.

2. Inspect the battery postsand cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.

3. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries, and if necessary, fill with distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water. Also, have the
Dealer or a qualified Service Technician check the state of charge and condition.

Do not dispose of the battery by incineration. The battery is capable of exploding.

A battery presents a risk ofelectrical shock and high short circuit current. Strictly observe the following precau-

Z_ tionswhen working on batteries:

Remove the 7.5 Amp fuse from the generator control panel.
Remove all jewelry--watches, rings, metal objects, etc.

Use tools with insulated handles.

Wear rubber gloves and boots.

Do not lay tools or metallic objects on top of the battery.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

24 Automatic Standby Generator Owner's Manual

Do not open or mutilate the battery. Releasedelectrolyte has been knownto be harmful to theskin and eyes, and

to be toxic. The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conduc-
tive and corrosive. Strictly observethe following precautions:

• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing.

• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water.

• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention.

• Wash down spilled electrolyte with an aid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use asolution of 1 pound (500 grams) bicarbonate
of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to be added until the evidence of reaction (foaming) has
ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the area dried.

Lead-acid batteries present a risk offire because they generate hydrogen gas. Strictly observe the following pre-

_ cautions:

• DO NOT smoke when near the battery.

• DO NOT cause flame or spark in the battery area.

• Discharge static electricity from the body before touching the battery byfirst touching a grounded metal surface.
