INSTALLATION
13
NOTE: With the battery installed and utility power
available to the Automatic Transfer Switch, the battery
receives a trickle charge whenever the engine is not
running.This process may take up to 72 hours to fully
charge a battery from 5 Volts.The trickle charge cannot be
used to recharge a battery that is completely discharged.
5. Connect negative battery cable to negative battery
terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-)).
6. Ensure hardware on both positive and negative battery
terminals is secure.
7. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
8. Set generator's system switch to AUTO.
Servicing the Battery
If it is necessary to service the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Open “Control Panel” access door.
2. Set generator's system switch to OFF.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
4. Service or replace battery as required.
5. Connect red battery cable to battery positive terminal
(indicated by POSITIVE, POS, or (+)).
6. Connect negative battery cable to negative battery
terminal (indicated by NEGATIVE, NEG, or (-).
7. Ensure hardware on both positive and negative battery
terminals is secure.
8. Reinstall 15 Amp fuse in control panel.
9. Set generator's system switch to AUTO.
10. Close “Control Panel” access door.
Fuel Supply System
Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and
without leaks.
Ensure that all gas line shutoff valves are OPEN and that
adequate fuel pressure is available whenever automatic
operation is desired.
FUEL SYSTEM SELECTION
The engine of your Home Generator System is factory
calibrated to run on natural gas (NG). It may also be
operated on liquefied petroleum (LP).There is no additional
hardware/equipment required to switch between either
fuel. However, LP fuel inlet pressure must be between
11 and 14 inches water column.
To configure the fuel system for LP use:
1. Open control panel and oil fill access doors.
2. Set generator's system switch to OFF.
3. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.
4. Remove cap from LP inlet on T-valve.
5. Remove fuel line from NG inlet.
6. Place cap from LP inlet onto NG inlet.
7. From oil fill access area, pull fuel line out of top hole
and route it through bottom hole.
IMPORTANT: Failure to route fuel line through bottom
hole may cause the fuel line to kink. If the fuel line kinks,
the generator may start but will not operate properly.
8. Connect fuel line to LP inlet (Figure 12).
• DO NOT install the 15 Amp fuse until all plumbing and wiring
has been completed and inspected.
Installing the 15A fuse could cause the engine to start.
CAUTION
• DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette
during and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas
during recharging.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause
explosion.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is
extremely caustic.
Contact with battery contents will cause severe
chemical burns.
A battery presents a risk of electrical shock and
high short circuit current.
