Installation manual

3. Step-By-Step Outline of Installation 4-2010
In all fuel system installations, cleanliness is extremely important.
· Make every effort to prevent fuel contamination of:
· moisture
· dirt
· excess thread sealant
· contaminants of any kind
· Clean all fuel system components before installing.
Gaseous-fuel supply system design, materials, components, fabrication, assembly, installation,
testing, inspection, operation and maintenance must comply with the applicable codes. See
NFPA Standards No. 37, 54 and 58.
Most codes require a manual shutoff valve ahead of a flexible fuel hose. The manual valve
should be of the indicating type. The generator set has an electric (battery-powered) shutoff
valve included.
NOTE: It is recommended that a shutoff valve be located near the generator set as
well, for emergency shut off or servicing the generator set.
Until the generator set is connected, cap the fuel line stub-up at the generator set to prevent dirt
from entering and gas from discharging if the gas supply shutoff valve is opened inadvertently.
3.7.1 Fuel Line Connections
WARNING: Fuel presents the hazard of fire or explosion that can result in severe
personal injury or death. Do not smoke or allow any flame, spark, pilot light
or other ignition sources near fuel or in the installation area. Read the
important safety precautions in the Fuel System section of this manual.
Refer to the Outline and System Drawings for the location of the fuel supply connection
through the side of the generator set.
A flexible fuel hose is packaged inside the generator set.
The section of flexible fuel hose supplied with the generator set must be used between the
engine's fuel system and fuel supply line to protect the fuel system from damage caused by
vibration, expansion and contraction. The fuel hose must be installed according to all applicable
codes and standards.
Connect it between the 3/4 NPT fitting on the generator set and the fuel supply line.
