Section INTRODUCTION: Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-cooled, engine-driven stationary automatic standby generator set, Every effort was made to make sure that the information and instructions In this manual were both accurate and current at the time the manual was written. However, the manufacturer reserves the right fo change, alter or otherwise improve this product or manual at any time without prior notice.
1.1 — General Safety Study these safety rules carefully before operating or servicing this equipment. Corner 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 wiles or precautions The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard.
1.3 = Exhaust Hazards + Generator engine exhaust contains DEADLY carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, throbbing females, nausea, muscular twitching, headache, vomiting, weakness, sleepiness, inability to think clearly, fainting, unconsciousness or even death, If any carbon monoxide poisoning symptom is experienced, move into fresh air and immediately seek medical attention «This generator is designed for OUTDOOR installation ONLY.
WARNING! If this generator is used to power electrical load circuits normally powered by a utility power source, iris 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 repeating (NEC 702). Fare 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 back feed of electrical energy.

Section 3 Per Control Panel Interface A The control panel on this unit is intended to only be operated by qualified service personnel. The Control panel Interface Is located under the lid of the enclosure. Before attempting to lift the lid of the enclosure, verify that both left and right side locks are unlocked. To remove the front cover, lift the cover straight up to disengage the side hooks. then tit and It it away from the unit.
Figure 3-2: Generator Control Panel 3.2 — Using the Auto/Off/Manual Buttons Button Description of Operation Auto Selecting this button activates fully automatic system operation. It also allows the unit to automatically star and exercise the engine every seven days with the effing of the exercise timer {seethe Setting Ye Exercise Timer section) off This button shuts down the engine and also prevents automatic operation of the unit Martial This bunion will crank and start the generator.
3.4 — Automatic Transfer Operation To select automatic operation: 1. Make sure the transfer switch main contacts are set fo their UTILITY position {loads connected to the utility power saucer. 2. Be sure that normal UTILITY power source voltage is available to transfer switch terminal lugs N1 and N2. 3. Press the AUTO button on the Control Panel Interface. 4. Set the Main Circuit Breaker {Generator Disconnect} to its ON (Closed) position.
3.5 Turning the Generator Off When Operating Under Load NOTE: Important! To turn the generator off during prolonged utility outages to perform maintenance or conserve fuel, follow these simple, but important steps: To turn the generator OFF {while running in AUTO and online}: 1. Turn OFF {or OPEN) the main Witty disconnect. 2. Turn OFF {or OPEN) the Main Line Circuit Breaker (ML) on the generator. 3. Turn the generator OFF. To turn the generator back ON: 1.
3.6.2— Transfer Back to Utility Power Source When utility power has been restored, transfer back to utility source and shut down the generator. To manually transfer back to utility power and shut down the generator. 1. Set the Main Circuit Breaker {Generator Disconnect) to its OFF (OPEN) position. Allow the engine to run for 2 minutes at no-load to stabilize the internal temperatures. Press the Control Panel OFF button. The engine should shut down.
3.7.3— 120V GUCCI Outlet/15 Amp Breaker Only) All units are equipped with an external 15 amp, 120 volt GUCCI convenience outlet Inca ted in the top comer of the compartment When the generator is running, In the absence of utility power, this outlet may also be used to power items solitude the home such as lights or power tools. This outlet may also be used when utility power is present by running the generator in manual made. This outlet does not provide power if the generator is not running.
Section 4 Maintenance NOTE: Proper maintenance and proper and safe operation is crucial to the life of the generator. Genuine Genera parts MUST be used to ensure warranty coverage. NOTE: Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same time {most have two year intervals}, only one will appear on the Control Panel display at any one time. Once the first alert is cleared, the next active alert will be displayed. A All service to this generator must be performed by a qualified service person only. 4.
