Section 1: Safety
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this stationary automatic
standby generator set. Every effort was made to ensure
that the information in this manual was both accurate and
complete at the time it was released. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or
otherwise improve this product at any time without prior
notice.
This generator is designed to automatically supply
electrical
power to operate critical loads during a utility
power failure. The unit is factory installed in an all-
weather metal enclosure and is intended exclusively
for outdoor installation using either Natural gas (NG) or
Liquid Propane vapor (LPV).
NOTE: All 22-48 kW units are field convertible
b
etween NG or LPV, while 60 kW units are built per
fuel requirements and are not field convertible.
When properly sized, the generator is suitable for
supplying
typical residential/commercial loads, such as
induction motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, freezers,
air conditioners, furnaces, etc.), electronic components
(computers, monitors, televisions, etc.), lighting,
microwaves, and other residential and business loads.
The information in this manual is accurate based on
p
roducts produced at the time of publication. The manu-
facturer reserves the right to make technical updates,
cor
rections, and product revisions at any time without
notice.
