IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Air-cooled 15 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, operat-
ing 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.
Please read all hazards carefully!
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 monox­ide, 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 venti­lating 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 gen­erator, 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 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 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 15 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. If there are any questions pertaining to fire extinguishers, consult the local fire department.
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.

Section 1 — General Information
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
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 and 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 his or her signature under the consignor's memo of loss or damage.
If there is loss or damage 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 3. Overcrank
2. High Temperature Sensor 4. Overspeed There are LED readouts on the control panel to notify
personnel that one of these faults has occurred. There is also a “System Set” LED that is described below.
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 Control 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.

1.6 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 "Reconfiguring the Fuel System" 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 five inches
to seven inches water column (0.18 to 0.25 psi); and for liquid propane, 11 inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5 psi).
NOTE:
Any piping used to connect the generator to the fuel supply should be of adequate size to ensure the fuel pressure NEVER drops below 4 inches water colum for natural gas or 10 inches water column for liquid propane for all load ranges.

*Natural gas is in cubic feet per hour. **LP is in gallons per hour/cubic feet per hour.
1.8 RECONFIGURING THE FUEL SYSTEM
To reconfigure the fuel system from NG to LP, follow these steps:
NOTE:
The primary regulator for the propane supply is NOT INCLUDED with the generator. A fuel pres­sure of 11 to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to
0.5 psi) to the fuel inlet of the generator MUST
BE SUPPLIED.
1. Turn off the gas supply. (if connected)
2. Open the roof and remove the door.
3. Remove the battery. (if installed)

14. It may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the preset adjustment screw settings to achieve maximum power, particularly at higher altitudes. If experiencing problems with the unit produc­ing maximum power, follow the procedure in "Adjusting the Fuel Regulator".
2.1 INSTALLATION
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 snow, 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.
8. Using a short No. 2 Phillips screw driver, thread the small fuel jet into the regulator casting. Do not over tighten.
9. Apply thread sealant to the threads of the hose fitting and replace it into the regulator body.
10. Re-attach the small hose and hose clamp and tighten as necessary.
11. Replace the engine air in baffle using the four M6 screws.
12. Identify both brass adjustment screws on the regulator.
NOTE:
One adjustment screw can be accessed from the front of the unit and the second can be accessed from the back of the unit enclosure by removing the plastic hole plug. The screw can be turned with a long flat blade screwdriver.
13. To adjust the system to run on LP fuel, turn BOTH adjuster screws 1/2 TURN CLOCKWISE. The system should now be set for maximum power and best perfomance. DO NOT, UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE SET PINS FROM THE REGULATOR HOUSING. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
2.1.1 REMOTE MONITORING CONNECTIONS

Conductors must be properly supported, of approved insulative qualities, protected by approved conduit, and of the correct wire gauge size in accordance with applicable codes.
Be sure to maintain proper electrical clearance between live metal parts and grounded metal. Allow at least 1/2 inch for 100-400 amp circuits.
2.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION
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 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;
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately
flush thoroughly 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) or 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, or
sparking may occur at the battery posts as the cables are attached 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 5 amp fuse from the generator con-
trol panel.
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.
Battery cables were factory connected at the genera­tor (Figure 2.4). Connect cables to battery posts as follows:
4. Connect the red battery cable (from starter con-
tactor) 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 (—).
6. Replace the 5 amp fuse in the generator control
panel.
NOTE:
Damage will result if battery connections are made in reverse.

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.
3.1 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. Check the engine crankcase oil level and, if neces-
sary, fill to the dipstick FULL mark with the rec­ommended oil. Do not fill above the FULL mark.
5. 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.
Never operate the engine with the oil level
below the “Add” mark on the dipstick. Doing this could damage the engine.
3.2 CHECK TRANSFER SWITCH
OPERATION
Refer to the "Manual Operation" section of the owner’s manual for manual operation procedures.
2.3 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 battery with a rating of 525 cold-cranking amps minimum at -17.8º C (0º F) minimum. When using a maintenance-free 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 attempt manual transfer switch opera-
tion until all power voltage supplies to the transfer switch have been positively turned off. Failure to turn off all power voltage supplies will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
3.3 ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Complete electrical checks as follows:
1. Turn on the utility power supply to the transfer
switch using the means provided (such as a utility main line circuit breaker).
DANGER
The transfer switch is now electrically “hot.”
Contact with “hot” parts will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock. Proceed with caution.
2. Use an accurate AC voltmeter to check utility
power source voltage across terminals N1 and N2. Nominal line-to-line voltage should be 240 volts AC.
10
Section 3 — Post Installation Start-up and Adjustments
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN) position. Initial tests will be con­ducted at no-load condition.
6. On the generator panel, set the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to MANUAL. The engine should crank and start.
7. 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.
DANGER
Proceed with caution! Generator power voltage
is now supplied to the transfer switch. Contact with live transfer switch parts will result in dan­gerous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
8. Connect an accurate AC voltmeter and a fre­quency meter across transfer switch terminal lugs E1 and E2. Voltage should be 242-252 volts; frequency should read about 61-63 Hertz.
9. Connect the AC voltmeter test leads across ter­minal lug E1 and neutral; then across E2 and neutral. In both cases, voltage reading should be 121-126 volts AC.
10. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF (or open) position. Let the engine run at no­load for a few minutes to stabilize internal engine generator temperatures.
11. 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.
3.4 GENERATOR TESTS UNDER LOAD
Do not attempt manual transfer switch opera-
tion until all power voltage supplies to the transfer switch have been positively turned off. Failure to turn off all power voltage supplies will result in extremely hazardous and possibly fatal electrical shock.
To test the generator set with electrical loads applied, proceed as follows:
1. Set generator’s main circuit breaker to its OFF (or OPEN) position.
2. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.
3. Turn OFF the utility power supply to the transfer switch, using the means provided (such as a util­ity main line circuit breaker).
4. Manually set the transfer switch to the STANDBY position, i.e., load terminals connected to the generator's E1/E2 terminals. The transfer switch operating lever should be down.
5. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to MANUAL. The engine should crank and start immediately.
6. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes.
7. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or closed) position. Loads are now powered by the standby generator.
8. Turn ON electrical loads. Apply an electrical load equal to the full rated wattage/amperage capacity of the installed generator.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. When testing under load is complete, turn OFF electrical loads.
12. Set the generator's main circuit breakers to their OFF (or open) positions.
13. Let the engine run at no-load for a few minutes.
14. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF. The engine should shut down.

3.5 CHECKING AUTOMATIC OPERATION
To check the system for proper automatic operation, proceed as follows:
1. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to it’s
OFF (or open) position.
2. Check that the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set
to OFF.
3. Manually set the transfer switch to the UTILITY
position, i.e., load terminals connected to the util­ity power source side.
4. Turn ON the utility power supply to the transfer
switch, using the means provided (such as a util­ity main line circuit breaker).
5. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to AUTO.
Then set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its ON (or closed) position. The system is now ready for automatic operation.
6. 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.
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 15 seconds, the switch should transfer
loads back to the utility power source.
• About one minute after retransfer, the engine
should shut down.
3.6 ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
Although the generator has been factory set to pro­vide maximum power, it may be necessary in some areas to adjust this setting. Because natural gas has different BTU or power content across the country the engine may not perform as designed.
If experiencing engine problems at high or full load conditions follow these steps. It will require a fre­quency meter to perform this procedure.
1. Turn off utility power to the main distribution
panel in the house. This can be done by switching the service main breaker to the off or open posi­tion.
2. Allow the generator to start before loading the
generator. Confirm the no-load frequency with the roof open and door off is set at 63-63.5 Hz. Transfer load to emergency circuits.
3. Turn on electrical loads. Be cautious not to over­load the generator. Use the following chart as a guide:
Model 120 Volts 240 Volts
005176 108.3 amps 54.1 amps
4. When full load has been achieved. Connect a fre­quency meter to the output lugs of the generator’s main line circuit breaker.
5. The fuel regulator is fitted with two adjustment screws. While watching the frequency meter, slowly turn the adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise one at a time until highest fre­quency is read on the meter. Only limited adjust­ment is available between the set pins. Under no circumstances should any of the pins be removed (Figures 3.1 and 3.2).

4.2 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 4.2).
2. Be sure that normal utility power source voltage is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1
14
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 “Sequence of Automatic Operation.”
4.3 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 a standby source.
C. Standby Voltage Sensor
• This sensor monitors generator AC output volt­age. When the voltage has reached 50 percent of the nominal rated voltage, transfer to standby can occur.
D. Utility Voltage Pickup Sensor
• This sensor monitors utility power supply volt­age. When that voltage is restored to above 70 percent of the nominal source voltage, a retrans­fer time delay starts timing.
E. Retransfer Time Delay
• This timer runs for about 15 seconds.
• At end of a 15-second delay, circuit board action de-energizes the transfer relay in the transfer switch.
Section 4 — Operation
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
• Retransfer to utility power source then occurs.
F. 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.
4.4 MANUAL OPERATION
DANGER
Do NOT manually transfer under load.
Disconnect transfer switch from all power sourc­es by approved means, such as a main circuit breaker(s).
A manual HANDLE is shipped with the transfer switch. Manual operation must be checked BEFORE the transfer switch is operated electrically. To check manual operation, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the generator’s AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.
2. Turn OFF both UTILITY and EMERGENCY power supplies to the transfer switch, with whatever means provided (such as the main line circuit breakers).
3. Note position of transfer mechanism main con­tacts by observing the moveable contact carrier arm.
• Manual operation handle towards the top of switch mechanism - LOAD terminals (T1, T2) are connected to UTILITY terminals (N1, N2).
• Manual operation handle towards the bottom of switch mechanism - LOAD terminals (T1, T2) are connected to EMERGENCY terminals (E1, E2).
Do not use excessive force when operating the
transfer switch manually or damage could be done to the manual handle.
4.4.1 CLOSE TO NORMAL SOURCE SIDE
Before proceeding, verify the position of the switch by observing the position of manual operation handle in Figure 4.2. If the handle is UP, the contacts are closed in the NORMAL position, no further action is required. If the handle is DOWN, proceed with Step
1.
Step 1: With the handle inserted into the actuating
shaft, move handle UP. Be sure to hold on to the handle as it will move quickly after the center of travel.

4.4.3 RETURN TO NORMAL SOURCE SIDE
Manually actuate switch to return manual operating handle to the UP position.
4.5 VOLTAGE CHECKS
1. Turn ON the UTILITY power supply to the trans­fer switch with whatever means provided (such as the UTILITY main line circuit breaker).
DANGER
PROCEED WITH CAUTION. THE TRANSFER
SWITCH IS NOW ELECTRICALLY HOT. CONTACT WITH LIVE TERMINALS RESULTS IN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
2. With an accurate AC voltmeter, check for correct voltage.
Single-phase utility supply:
Measure across ATS terminal lugs N1 and N2. Also
check N1 to NEUTRAL and N2 to NEUTRAL.
3. When certain that UTILITY supply voltage is cor­rect and compatible with transfer switch ratings, turn OFF the UTILITY supply to the transfer switch.
4. On the generator panel, set the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to MANUAL position. The gen­erator should crank and start.
5. Let the generator stabilize and warm up at no­load for at least five minutes.
6. Set the generator's main circuit breaker (CB1) to its ON or CLOSED position.
DANGER
PROCEED WITH CAUTION. GENERATOR
OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS NOW BEING DELIVERED TO TRANSFER SWITCH TERMINALS. CONTACT WITH LIVE TERMINALS RESULTS IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
7. With an accurate AC voltmeter and frequency meter, check the no-load, voltage and frequency.
Single-phase generator supply:
Measure across ATS terminal lugs E1 to E2. Also
check E1 to NEUTRAL and E2 to NEUTRAL.
a. Frequency ....................................... 60-62 Hertz
b. Terminals E1 to E2 ........................ 240-246 VAC
c. Terminals E1 to NEUTRAL .............120-123 VAC
d. Terminals E2 to NEUTRAL ............. 120-123 VAC
8. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker (CB1) to its OFF or OPEN position.
9. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the OFF position to shut down the generator.
NOTE:
Do NOT proceed until generator AC output volt­age and frequency are correct and within stated limits. If the no-load voltage is correct but no­load frequency is incorrect, the engine governed speed probably requires adjustment. If no-load frequency is correct but voltage is not, the voltage regulator may require adjustment.
4.6 GENERATOR TESTS UNDER LOAD
1. Set the generator's main circuit breaker to its OFF or OPEN position.
2. Manually actuate the transfer switch main con­tacts to their EMERGENCY (STANDBY) position. Refer to "Manual Operation".
3. To start the generator, set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to MANUAL. When engine starts, let it sta­bilize for a few minutes.
4. Turn the generator's main circuit breaker to its ON or CLOSED position. The generator now pow­ers all LOAD circuits. Check generator operation under load as follows:
• Turn ON electrical loads to the full rated watt­age/amperage capacity of the generator. DO NOT OVERLOAD.
• With maximum rated load applied, check voltage and frequency across transfer switch terminals E1 and E2. Voltage should be greater than 230 volts and frequency should be greater than 59 Hertz.
• Let the generator run under rated load for at least 30 minutes. With unit running, listen for unusual noises, vibration, overheating, etc., that might indicate a problem.
5. When checkout under load is complete, set main circuit breaker of the generator to its OFF or OPEN position.
6. Let the generator run at no-load for several min­utes. Then, shut down by setting the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch to its OFF position.

Section 4 — Operation
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
7. Move the switch's main contacts back to their UTILITY position. For example, load connected to UTILITY power supply. Refer to "Manual Operation". Handle and operating lever of trans­fer switch should be in UP position.
8. Turn on the UTILITY power supply to transfer switch, using whatever means provided (such as a UTILITY main line circuit breaker). The UTIL­ITY power source now powers the loads.
9. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to
its AUTO position. The system is now set for fully automatic operation.
4.7 SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER
The 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 4.1) allows for selection of the day and time for system exercise. To select the desired day and time of day, the follow­ing sequence must be done at that time.
1. Verify that the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to AUTO.
2. Hold down the set timer switch until the genera­tor starts (approximately 10 seconds) and then release.
3. The generator will start and run for approximately 12 minutes and then shut down on its own. The exerciser will then be set to run at that time of day every week.
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. The exerciser WILL NOT work if dip switch 2 (Remote Not Auto) on the controller printed circuit board is ON.
4.8 PROTECTION SYSTEMS
4.8.1 LOW OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch (Figure 4.3) 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, and the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch must be turned to OFF and then back to AUTO.
4.8.2 HIGH TEMPERATURE SWITCH
This switch’s contacts (Figure 4.3) close if the tem­perature should exceed approximately 140º C (284º F), initiating an engine shutdown. The generator will automatically restart and the LED will reset once the temperature has returned to a safe operating level.

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.
5.1 FUSE
The generator panel’s 15 amp fuse (Figure 5.1) 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.
The generator panel’s 5 amp fuse protects the battery charge circuit against overload. If the fuse element has melted open, battery charging will not be pos­sible. Replace the fuse using only an identical 5 amp replacement. To remove fuse, push cap down and rotate counterclockwise.
2. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
5.7 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery should be inspected per the “Service Schedule”. 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 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;
• Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately
flush thoroughly 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) or 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 fuse is removed from the generator control panel, or sparking may occur at the bat­tery posts as the cables are attached, causing an explosion.
5.8 ADJUSTING VALVE CLEARANCE
After the first 50 hours of operation, adjust the valve clearance in the engine.
Important: If feeling uncomfortable about doing this
procedure or the proper tools are not available, con­tact the nearest 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.
• Make sure that the spark plug wire is removed
from the spark plug and out of the way.
• 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 intake screen at the front of the engine to gain access to the fly­wheel nut. Use a large socket and socket wrench to rotate the nut and hence the engine. While watching the piston through the spark plug hole. The piston should move up and down. The piston is at TDC when it is up as high as it can go.
• Loosen the rocker jam nut. Use an 10mm allen
wrench to turn the pivot ball stud while checking clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem with a feeler gauge. Correct clearance is
0.002-0.004 inch (0.05-0.1 mm). See Figure 5.6.
NOTE:
Hold the rocker arm jam nut in place as the pivot ball stud is turned.
20
Section 5 — Maintenance
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
When valve clearance is correct, 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. torque. After tightening the jam nut, recheck valve clearance to make sure it did not change.
Figure 5.6 - Valve Clearance Adjustment

Jam Nut
• Install new valve cover gasket.
• Re-attach the valve cover.
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.
• Re-attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
• Repeat the process for the other cylinder.

5.9 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 5.7 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.
The maximum ambient temperature for the
generator is 48.9° C (104° F).
Figure 5.7 – Cooling Vent Locations
5.10 ATTENTION AFTER SUBMERSION
If the generator has been submerged in water, it MUST NOT be started and operated. Following any submersion in water, have an Authorized Dealer thoroughly clean and dry the generator.
5.11 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®.
5.12 OUT OF SERVICE PROCEDURE
5.12.1 REMOVAL FROM SERVICE
If the generator cannot be exercised every seven days, and it is to be out of service longer than 90 days, pre­pare the generator for storage as follows:
1. Start the engine and let it warm up.
2. Close the fuel shutoff valve in the fuel supply line
and allow the unit to shut down.
3. Once the unit has shut down, it will signal a low
oil fault.
4. Set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF and
turn off the utility power to the transfer switch.
5. While the engine is still warm from running,
drain the oil completely. Refill the crankcase with oil. See ”Engine Oil Recommendations”.
6. Attach a tag to the engine indicating the viscosity
and classification of the oil in the crankcase.
7. Remove the spark plugs and spray fogging agent
into the spark plugs threaded openings. Reinstall and tighten the spark plugs.
8. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry
room on a wooden board. Never store the battery on any concrete or earthen floor.
9. Clean and wipe the entire generator.

Section 10 – Warranty
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
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 there are any questions regarding the warranty rights and responsibilities, contact Generac at the following address:

Section 10 – Warranty
Air-cooled 15 kW Generators
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
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.
EMISSION RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
1) Fuel Metering System:
