IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – The manufacturer suggests that these rules for safe
operation be copied and posted near the unit’s installation site. Safety should be stressed to
all operators and potential operators of this equipment.
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the state
defects or other reproductive harm.
This product contains or emits chemicals known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before install­ing, operating or servicing this equipment. Become familiar 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 by failing 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 others. Also make sure the procedure, work method or operating technique uti­lized does not render the generator unsafe.
WARNING:
of California to cause cancer, birth
WARNING:
DANGER
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 operate or maintain this equipment.
Potentially lethal voltages are generated by
these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to render the machine safe before attempting to work on the generator.
Parts of the generator are rotating and/or hot
during operation. Exercise care near running generators.
GENERAL HAZARDS
• For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends
that the installation, initial start-up and main­tenance of this equipment is carried out by an Authorized Dealer.
• The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monox-
ide, which can be DEADLY. This dangerous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death. This exhaust system must be installed properly, in strict com­pliance with applicable codes and standards. Following installation, do nothing that might ren­der the system unsafe or in noncompliance with such codes and standards.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, etc., away from drive
belts, fans, and other moving or hot parts. Never remove any drive belt or fan guard while the unit is operating.
• Adequate, unobstructed flow of cooling and venti-
lating air is critical to 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 outdoors.
• When working on this equipment, remain alert
at all times. Never work on the equipment when physically or mentally fatigued.
• Inspect the generator regularly, and contact the
nearest Authorized Dealer for parts needing repair or replacement.
• Before performing any maintenance on the gen-
erator, disconnect its battery cables to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last.
• Never use the generator or any of its parts as a
step. Stepping on the unit can stress and break parts, and may result in dangerous operating con­ditions from leaking exhaust gases, fuel leakage, oil leakage, etc.
2
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• All generators covered by this manual produce dangerous electrical voltages and can cause fatal electrical shock. Utility power delivers extremely high and dangerous voltages to the transfer 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 before operating the generator. If work must be done around an operating unit, stand on an insulated, dry surface to reduce shock hazard.
• Do not handle any kind of electrical device while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet. DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT.
• The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the frame and external electrically conductive parts of the generator to be connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes also may require proper grounding of the generator electrical sys­tem.
• After installing this home standby electrical sys­tem, the generator may crank and start at any time without warning. When this occurs, load circuits are transferred to the STANDBY (GENERATOR) power source. To prevent possible injury if such a start and transfer occur, always set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its OFF position before working on equipment and remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses 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.
• Never wear jewelry when working on this equip­ment. Jewelry can conduct electricity resulting in electric shock, or may get caught in moving com­ponents causing injury.
FIRE HAZARDS
• For fire safety, the generator must be installed and maintained properly. Installation always must comply with applicable codes, standards, laws and regulations. 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 might alter a safe installation and ren­der the unit in noncompliance with the aforemen­tioned codes, standards, laws and regulations.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
• 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 electric system. Keep the extin­guisher properly charged and be familiar with its use. Consult the local fire department with any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers.
EXPLOSION HAZARDS
• Do not smoke around the generator. Wipe up any fuel or oil spills immediately. Ensure that no com­bustible materials are left in the generator com­partment, or on or near the generator, as FIRE or EXPLOSION may result. Keep the 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 applicable 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 is permit­ted.

DANGER
Only qualified electricians or contractors should
attempt such installations, which must comply strictly with applicable codes, standards and regulations.
1.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION
After unpacking, carefully inspect the contents for damage.
• This standby generator set has been factory sup­plied with a weather protective enclosure that is intended for outdoor installation only.
If this generator is used to power electrical load
circuits normally powered by a utility power source, it is required by code to install a transfer switch. The transfer switch must effectively iso­late the electrical system from the utility distri­bution system when the generator is operating (NEC 700, 701 & 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 power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy.
If any loss or damage is noted at time of delivery, have the person(s) making the delivery note all damage on the freight bill or affix their signature under the consignor's memo of loss or damage.
If a loss or damage is noted after delivery, separate the damaged materials and contact the carrier for claim procedures.
“Concealed damage” is understood to mean damage to the contents of a package that is not in evidence at the time of delivery, but is discovered later.
1.2 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Unlike an automobile engine, the generator may have to run for long periods of time with no operator pres­ent to monitor engine conditions. For that reason, the engine is equipped with the following systems that protect it against potentially damaging conditions:
1. Low Oil Pressure Sensor 4. Overspeed
2. High Temperature Sensor 5. Low Battery
3. Overcrank
There are LED readouts on the control panel to notify the user that one of these faults has occurred. There is also a “System Set” LED that is lit when all of the conditions describe in Section 1.3 are true.
4
1.3 SYSTEM SET LED
The “System Set” LED is lit when all of the following conditions are true:
1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the AUTO position.
2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is being sensed by the PCB. If the utility sense volt­age is not connected to the unit or if it is below 168 volts AC, then the system set light will flash rapidly. This indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch is placed in the Auto position , the generator will start.
3. The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFF position on the control board.
4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pres­sure, high temperature, etc.
1.4 ACCESSORY FEATURES
1.4.1 12 VOLT DC OUTLET
The generator is equipped with a 12 volt DC accesso­ry outlet located in the system control panel (Figure
1.1). With the generator running or in standby mode,
this outlet may be used to temporarily power low power accessories such as an inspection light, cell phone, radio or other automotive style accessory with a 7.5 amp maximum current draw.

1.7 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
With LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawal sys­tem. This type of system uses the vapors formed
above the liquid fuel in the storage tank.
The engine has been fitted with a fuel carburetion system that meets the specifications of the 1997 California Air Resources Board for tamper-proof dual fuel systems. The unit will run on natural gas or LP gas, but it has been factory set to run on natural gas. Should the primary fuel need to be changed to LP gas, the fuel system needs to be reconfigured. See Section 1.8 for instructions on reconfiguration of the fuel system.
Recommended fuels should have a Btu content of at least 1,000 Btus per cubic foot for natural gas; or at least 2,520 Btus per cubic foot for LP gas. Ask the fuel supplier for the Btu content of the fuel.
Required fuel pressure for natural gas is 5 inches
to 7 inches water column (0.18 to 0.25); and for liquid propane vapor, 10 inches to 12 inches of water column (0.36 to 0.43 psi).
A seperate gas line and regulator may be need-
ed to assure proper gas pressure to the genera­tor. Low gas pressure can cause hard starting and could affect engine durability.
3. Remove the pipe plug from the LP (left) outlet port.
4. Install the brass hose fitting in the LP (left) outlet port.
5. Install the pipe plug in the NG (right) outlet port.
6. Connect the carburetor fuel hose to the LP (left) outlet port of the demand regulator.
7. Reverse the procedure to convert back to natural gas.

*Natural gas is in cubic feet per hour. **LP is in gallons per hour/cubic feet per hour.
DANGER
 Gaseous fuels such as natural gas and liquid
propane (LP) gas are highly explosive. Even the slightest spark can ignite such fuels and cause an explosion. No leakage of fuel is permitted. Natural gas, which is lighter than air, tends to collect in high areas. LP gas is heavier than air and tends to settle in low areas.
1.9 RECONFIGURING THE FUEL SYSTEM
To reconfigure the fuel system from NG to LP, follow these steps:
1. Turn the main gas supply off.
2. Remove the carburetor fuel hose and the brass
hose fitting from the NG (right) outlet port of the demand regulator (Figure 1.4).
1.10.1 GENERATOR
Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors, where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available. Consider these factors:
• Install the unit where air inlet and outlet open­ings will not become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc. If prevailing winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a windbreak to protect the unit.
• Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not rise and endanger it.
• Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for maintenance and servicing. A good rule is to allow three feet of space on all sides.
• Where strong prevailing winds blow from one direction, face the generator air inlet openings to the prevailing winds.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the fuel supply, to reduce the length of piping.
• Install the generator as close as possible to the transfer switch. HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT LAWS OR CODES MAY REGULATE THE DISTANCE.
The genset must be installed on a level surface. The base frame must be level within two (2) inches all around.

Section 1 — General Information
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
1.10.2 TRANSFER SWITCH
This generator should only be installed with a com­patible transfer switch. A range of transfer switches are offered by the manufacturer.
1.11 BATTERY INSTALLATION
If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is not set to its
OFF position, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected. If the utility power supply is not turned off, spark­ing can occur at the battery posts and cause an explosion.
Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if necessary and have the battery fully charged before installing it.
Before installing and connecting the battery, complete the following steps:
1. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.
2. Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch.
3. Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera­tor control panel.
Battery cables were factory connected at the genera­tor (Figure 1.5). Connect cables to battery posts as follows:
4. Connect the red battery cable (from starter con­tactor) to the battery post indicated by a positive, POS or (+).
5. Connect the black battery cable (from frame ground) to the battery post indicated by a nega­tive, NEG or (—).
NOTE:
Damage will result if battery connections are made in reverse.
Figure 1.5 – Battery Cable Connections
NOTE:
The generator is equipped with a battery trickle charger that is active when the unit is set up for automatic operation. With the battery installed and utility power source voltage available to the transfer switch, the battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not running, to prevent self-discharge. The trickle charger is designed to help extend the life of the battery by maintain­ing the battery when the unit is not running. The trickle charge feature cannot be used to recharge a discharged battery.
1.12 THE BATTERY
Servicing of the battery is to be performed or super­vised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized person­nel away from batteries.
When replacing the battery, use the following type of battery: Group 26/26R 12-volt DC, negative ground battery with a rating of 525 cold-cranking amps mini­mum at -17.8º C (0º F). When using a maintenance­free battery, it is not necessary to check the specific gravity or electrolyte level. Have these procedures performed at the intervals specified in the “Service Schedule.” A negative ground system is used. Battery connections are shown on the wiring diagrams. Make sure the battery is correctly connected and terminals are tight. Observe battery polarity when connecting the battery to the generator set.
DANGER
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock
and high short circuit current. The following pre­cautions are to be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera­tor control panel.
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery; and
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
8
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive.
Section 2 — Post Installation Start-up and Adjustments
The following procedures are to be observed:
• 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; and
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution 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 of fire because
they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedures are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery;
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area; and
• Discharge static electricity from body before touch­ing the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position before connecting the battery cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected.
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off
and the 7.5A and 15A fuses are removed from the generator control panel, or sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are attached and cause an explosion.

2.1 BEFORE INITIAL START-UP
Before starting, complete the following:
1. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN) position.
2. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position.
3. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch using the means provided (such as the utility main line circuit breaker).
4. Turn OFF all loads connected to the transfer switch terminals T1 and T2.
5. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if neces­sary, fill to the dipstick FULL mark with the rec­ommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.
6. Check the fuel supply. Gaseous fuel lines must have been properly purged and leak tested in accordance with applicable fuel-gas codes. All fuel shutoff valves in the fuel supply lines must be open.
.
The transfer switch is now electrically “hot.”
Contact with “hot” parts will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock. Proceed with caution.
5. Use an accurate AC voltmeter to check utility power source voltage across transfer switch ter­minals N1 and N2. Nominal line-to-line voltage should be 240 volts AC.
6. Check utility power source voltage across termi­nals N1 and the transfer switch neutral lug; then across terminal N2 and neutral. Nominal line-to­neutral voltage should be 120 volts AC.
7. When certain that utility supply voltage is compat­ible with transfer switch and load circuit ratings, turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch.
8. On the generator panel, set the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to MANUAL. The engine should crank and start.
9. Let the engine warm up for about five minutes to allow internal temperatures to stabilize. Then, set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or closed) position.

13. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF. The engine should shut down.
NOTE:
It is important not to proceed until certain that generator AC voltage and frequency are correct and within the stated limits. Generally, if both AC frequency and voltage are high or low, the engine governor requires adjustment. If frequency is cor­rect, but voltage is high or low, the generator’s voltage regulator requires adjustment.
6. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to MANUAL. The engine should crank and start immediately.
7. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes.
8. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or closed) position. Loads are now powered by the standby generator.
9. Turn ON electrical loads connected to transfer switch T1 and T2. Apply an electrical load equal to the full rated wattage/amperage capacity of the installed generator.
10. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and a frequen­cy meter across terminal lugs E1 and E2. Voltage should be greater than 230 volts; frequency should be greater than 58 Hertz.
11. Let the generator run at full rated load for 20-30 minutes. Listen for unusual noises, vibration or other indications of abnormal operation. Check for oil leaks, evidence of overheating, etc.
12. When testing under load is complete, turn OFF electrical loads.
13. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its OFF (or open) position.
14. Let the engine run at no-load for a few minutes.
15. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF. The engine should shut down.

6. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO. The system is now ready for automatic operation.
7. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch.
With the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch at AUTO, the engine should crank and start when the utility source power is turned OFF. After starting, the transfer switch should connect load circuits to the standby side. Let the system go through its entire automatic sequence of operation.
Section 3 — Operation
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
With the generator running and loads powered by generator AC output, turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer switch. The following should occur:
• After about six seconds, the switch should transfer loads back to the utility power source.
• About one minute after retransfer, the engine should shut down.
2.6 VOLTAGE REGULATOR
ADJUSTMENT
With the frequency between 60-60.5 Hertz, slowly turn the slotted potentiometer (Figure 2.1) until line voltage reads 247-252 volts.
NOTE:
The access panel on top of the control panel must be removed to adjust the voltage regulator.
Figure 2.1 – Voltage Adjustment Potentiometer
4. Run the unit for one hour at 25% rated load.
5. Run the unit for one hour at 50% rated load.
6. Run the unit for one hour at 75% rated load.
7. Run the unit for one hour at 100% rated load.
8. Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer switch, which will allow the transfer switch to transfer back to utility power. The unit will con­tinue to run for one minute and then shut down.
9. Allow the unit to cool.
10. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF. Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the generator control panel. Disconnect the battery cables as outlined in “General Hazards” (page
2).
11. Drain the oil and remove the oil filter. Replace the oil filter according to Section 4.4, “Changing the Oil Filter”. Replace the oil with synthetic oil as recommended in Section 4.3, “Changing the Engine Oil”.
12. Reconnect the battery cables as outlined in “General Hazards” (page 2) and insert the 5A and 15A fuses into the generator control panel. The generator is now ready for service.
3.2 USING THE AUTO/OFF/MANUAL
NOTE:
The voltage regulator is housed inside the gen­erator's control panel. The regulator maintains a voltage in direct proportion to frequency at a 2-to­1 ratio. For example, at 62 Hertz, line-to-neutral voltage will be 124 volts.
3.1 BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Once the unit has been installed and all electrical checks have been made, it is strongly recommended that the following “Break-in Procedure” be completed to ensure correct generator operation in the future.
1. Set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.
2. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch using the means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker).
3. The unit will start, and the transfer switch will transfer to standby.
SWITCH (FIGURE 3.1)
3.2.1 “AUTO” POSITION
Selecting this switch position activates fully automat­ic system operation. It also allows personnel to start and exercise the engine every seven days with the set­ting of the exercise timer (see Section 3.5).
Figure 3.1 – Generator Control Panel
11
Section 3 — Operation
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
3.2.2 “OFF” POSITION
This switch position shuts down the engine. This position also prevents automatic operation.
3.2.3 “MANUAL” POSITION
Set the switch to Manual to crank and start the engine. Transfer to standby power will not occur unless there is a utility failure.
With the switch set to AUTO, the engine may
crank and start at any time without warning. Such automatic starting normally occurs when utility power source voltage drops below a pre­set level or during the normal exercise cycle. To prevent possible injury that might be caused by such sudden starts, always set the switch to OFF and remove the fuses before working on or around the generator or transfer switch. Then, place a “DO NOT OPERATE” tag on the generator panel and on the transfer switch.
3.3 AUTOMATIC TRANSFER
OPERATION
To select automatic operation, do the following:
1. Make sure the transfer switch main contacts are set to their “Utility” position, i.e., loads connected to the utility power source (Figure 3.2).
2. Be sure that normal utility power source voltage is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 and N2.
3. Set the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.
4. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or closed) position.
With the preceding 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. Refer to Section 3.4, “Sequence of Automatic Operation.”
3.4 SEQUENCE OF AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The generator’s control panel houses a control logic circuit board. This board constantly monitors util­ity power source voltage. Should that voltage drop below a preset level, circuit board action will signal the engine to crank and start. After the engine starts, the circuit board signals the transfer switch to acti­vate and connect load circuits to the standby power supply (load terminal lugs T1/T2 connect to terminal lugs E1/E2).
Upon restoration of utility source voltage above a preset level, generator circuit board action signals the transfer switch to transfer loads back to that power supply. After retransfer, the engine is signalled to shut down.
The actual sequence of operation is controlled by sensors and timers on a control logic circuit board, as follows:
A. 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 15-second timer.
• Once the timer has expired, the engine will crank and start.
B. Engine Warm-up Time Delay
• This mechanism lets the engine warm up for about 10 seconds before the load is transferred to the standby source.
C. Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility power supply volt­age. When that voltage is restored above 70 per­cent of the nominal source voltage, a retransfer time delay starts timing.
D. Retransfer Time Delay
• This timer runs for about 15 seconds.
• At end of a 15-second delay, circuit board action de-energizes transfer relay in the transfer switch.
• Retransfer to utility power source then occurs.
E. Engine Cool-down Timer
• When the load is transferred back to utility power source, the engine cool-down timer starts tim­ing.
• The timer will run for about one minute, and the generator will then shut down.

Section 3 — Operation
Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
3.5 SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER
This generator is equipped with an exercise timer. Once it is set, the generator will start and exercise once every seven days, on the day of the week and at the time of day the following sequence is completed. During this exercise period, the unit runs for approx­imately 12 minutes and then shuts down. Transfer of loads to the generator output does not occur during the exercise cycle.
A switch on the control panel (see Figure 3.1) per­mits selection of the day and time for the system to exercise. At the chosen time, perform the following sequence to select the desired day and time of day the system will exercise.
Place the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch in the AUTO position. Push and hold the “Set Exercise Time” switch to the ON position for approximately three seconds and release. All five red LED’s will flash for 10 seconds. The unit will perform the standard exer­cise sequence, then shut down. The generator will now exercise every seven days at the time set.
NOTE:
The exerciser will only work in the AUTO mode and will not work unless this procedure is per­formed. The exerciser will need to be reset every time the 12-volt battery is disconnected and then reconnected.
3.6 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
3.6.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch (Figure 3.2) has normally closed con­tacts that are held open by engine oil pressure dur­ing cranking and operating. Should oil pressure drop below the 8 psi range, switch contacts close, and the engine shuts down. The unit should not be restarted until oil is added. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch must then be turned to OFF and then back to AUTO.
3.6.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH
This switch’s contacts (Figure 3.3) close if the tem­perature should exceed approximately 132º C (270º F), initiating an engine shutdown. The generator will automatically restart and the LED on the generator control panel will reset once the temperature has returned to a safe operating level.
Figure 3.2 – Low Oil Pressure and
High Temperature Switches
3.6.3 OVERCRANK
This feature prevents the generator from damaging itself when it continually attempts to start and anoth­er problem, such as no fuel supply, prevents it from starting. The unit will crank and rest for a preset time limit. Then, it will stop cranking, and the LED on the generator control panel will light indicating an overcrank failure. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch will need to be set to OFF and then back to AUTO to reset the generator control board.
NOTE:
If the fault is not repaired, the overcrank feature will continue to activate.
3.6.3.1 Approximate Crank Cycle Times
• 15 seconds ON
• 7 seconds OFF
• 7 seconds ON
• 7 seconds OFF
• Repeat for 45 seconds Approximately 90 seconds total
3.6.4 OVERSPEED
This feature protects the generator from damage by shutting it down if it happens to run faster than the preset limit. This protection also prevents the gen­erator from supplying an output that could poten­tially damage appliances connected to the generator circuit. Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer if this failure occurs.

3.6.5 LOW BATTERY
The microprocessor will continually monitor the bat­tery voltage and turn on the Low Battery LED if the battery voltage falls below 11.0 volts for one minute. Low battery voltage is a non-latching alarm, which will automatically clear if the battery voltage rises above 11.0 volts.
The control system will not attempt to start the engine if there is a low battery condition, however, if the engine is already running when the low bat­tery condition occurs, the engine will continue to run as long as possible.
Battery voltage is NOT monitored during the crank cycle.
4.1 SYSTEM FUSE
The generator panel’s 15 amp fuse (Figure 4.1) pro­tects the DC control circuit against overload. The fuse is wired in series with the battery output lead to the panel. If the fuse element has melted open, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the fuse using only an identical 15-amp replacement.
4.1.1 7.5 AMP FUSE
The generator panel’s 7.5 amp fuse protects the accessory outlet against overload. If the fuse element has melted open, there will not be power at the acces­sory outlet. Replace the fuse using only an identical
7.5 amp fuse. To remove fuse, push cap down and rotate counterclockwise.
Figure 4.1 – Generator Control Panel
4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
For oil capacities, see “Specifications,” Section 1.5. For engine oil recommendations, see Section 4.3.1. To check the engine oil level, proceed as follows (Figures 4.2):
1. Start the generator by moving the AUTO/ OFF/
MANUAL switch to the MANUAL position. Allow it to run for a short while and then shut it down by moving the switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a
clean cloth.
3. Install the dipstick; then, remove it again. The oil
level should be at the dipstick “Full” mark. If nec­essary, add oil to the “Full” mark only. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE “FULL” MARK.
Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.
4. Install the dipstick.
5. Reset the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to its origi-
nal position.

Air-cooled 11 kW Generators
Figure 4.5 – Setting the Spark Plug Gap
4.7 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery should be inspected per the “Service Schedule,” Section 4.13. The following procedure should be followed for inspection:
1. Inspect the battery posts and cables for tightness and corrosion. Tighten and clean as necessary.
2. Check the battery fluid level of unsealed batteries and, if necessary, fill with Distilled Water Only. Do not use tap water in batteries.
3. Have the state of charge and condition checked. This should be done with an automotive-type bat­tery hydrometer.
DANGER
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The
battery is capable of exploding.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock
and high short circuit current. The following pre­cautions are to be observed when working on batteries:
• Remove the 7.5A and 15A fuses from the genera-
tor control panel.
• Remove watches, rings or other metal objects;
• Use tools with insulated handles;
• Wear rubber gloves and boots;
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the
battery; and
• Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals.
Do not open or mutilate the battery. Released
electrolyte has been known to be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be toxic.
The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electrically conductive and corrosive. The following procedures are to be observed:
• Wear full eye protection and protective clothing;
• Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off
immediately with water;
16
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water and seek medical attention; and
• Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice is to use a solution 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 of fire because
they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedures are to be followed:
• DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery;
• DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area; and
• Discharge static electricity from body before touch­ing the battery by first touching a grounded metal surface.
Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to
the OFF position before connecting the battery cables. If the switch is set to AUTO or MANUAL, the generator can crank and start as soon as the battery cables are connected.
Be sure the utility power supply is turned off
and the 5A and 15A fuses are removed from the generator control panel, or sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are attached and cause an explosion.
4.8 ADJUSTING GT-990 VALVE
CLEARANCE
After the first six months of operation, adjust the valve clearance in the engine (Figure 4.6).
Important: If feeling uncomfortable about doing
this procedure or the proper tools are not available, please contact the Authorized Dealer for service assistance. This is a very important step to insure longest life for the engine.
To adjust valve clearance:
• Make sure the engine is at room temperature
(between 60° and 80° F).
• Make sure that the spark plug(s) are removed.
• Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover
with a #2 or #3 phillips screwdriver.
• Make sure the piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC)
of its compression stroke (both valves closed). To get the piston at TDC, remove the screen at the top of the intake scroll to gain access to the intake fan. Rotate the engine by hand by rotating the fan while watching the piston through the spark plug hole. The piston should move back and forth. The pis­ton is at TDC when it is as forward as it can go.

4.9 COOLING SYSTEM
Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator com­partment must be open and unobstructed for con­tinued proper operation. This includes such obstruc­tions as high grass, weeds, brush, leaves and snow.
Without sufficient cooling and ventilating air flow, the engine/generator quickly overheats, which causes it to quickly shut down. (See Figure 4.7 for vent loca­tions.)
The exhaust from this product gets extremely
hot and remains hot after shutdown. High grass, weeds, brush, leaves, etc. must remain clear of the exhaust. Such materials may ignite and burn from the heat of the exhaust system.
4.11 CORROSION PROTECTION
Periodically wash and wax the enclosure using auto­motive type products. Frequent washing is recom­mended in salt water/coastal areas. Spray engine linkages with a light oil such as WD-40®.
4.12 OUT OF SERVICE PROCEDURE

NOTE: This Emission Control Warranty Statement pertains to this product only IF the generator size is 15 kW or below.
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your new engine.* In California, new utility, and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. Generac will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modifica­tion or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Generac will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Emissions control systems on 1995 and later model year engines are warranted for two years as hereinafter noted. If, dur­ing such warranty period, any emission-related component or system on your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the engine purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the completion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Owner’s Manual. For warranty purposes, Generac recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your engine. However, Generac cannot deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled maintenance.
As the engine purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Generac may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your engine, or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect , improper maintenance or unap­proved modifications, or the use of counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Generac.
You are responsible for contacting a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our toll-free number:
1-800-333-1322
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty), which is provided to you by Generac pursuant to California law. See also the “Generac Limited Warranties for Generac Power Systems, Inc.,” which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet, also provided to you by Generac. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conflict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Generac Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Generac Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty ser­vice, evidence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Generac at one of the following addresses:

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for 1995 and later model year engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the
date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Generac warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or
equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is ...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the CARB pursuant to its
authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a
warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification.
(c) The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owner’s Manual
shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s
Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Generac according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no
charge to the owner at a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Generac Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible
for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Generac shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused
by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Generac shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient
to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Generac authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS
Warranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce Generac ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Generac
engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Generac shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Generac engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modified, counterfeit and/or “grey market” part.
