Installation Guide
15. Switch the utility breaker to ON and make sure that power is automatically transferred back
to the utility, shutting down generator automatically after cool down period.
16. Turn OFF utility power once again to automatically start the generator. When power has
transferred to the generator, in the distribution panel, turn each of the breakers to ON
position one at a time until generator is accepting the full load.
17. With generator on full load, check and recheck gas pressure to verify that it’s maintaining the
same pressure level, prior to starting generator.
18. CAUTION! Even though generator sounds and runs smoothly, changes in the electrical loads
or additional gas demand by other appliances will affect the generator’s performance. Verify
gas pressure and pipe sizing. Turn off the gas, unhook the manometer and reinstall port plug.
19. Transfer utility breaker to ON position to restore electrical utility power.
20. The generator will continue to run to allow the engine to cool down, then it will shut down
automatically.
21. Shut OFF utility power again. The generator should start and the entire electrical load will
transfer to the generator.
22. Close the main breaker to restore utility power and allow the engine to cool down and shut
itself off.
23. Operational tests are now complete. Refer to SmartGen Owner’s Manual for setting the
Automatic Exercise Functions. This will complete the installation.
Maintenance of Genset
Regular maintenance is an integral part of the genset. To maintain good reliable condition, please maintain
according to specications.
The following genset maintenance specications are based on a good working environment and normal op-
erating conditions. Please strictly adhere to the following requirements. If working conditions are less than
favorable, (such as excessive dust, humidity, excess ambient temperature or the temperature is too low, etc.)
the maintenance period should be shortened accordingly.
Break-in of New Engine
The life of the engine is greatly dependent on the rst 30 hours of use. It is vital to change the engine oil after
this initial period of time. It is also an excellent time to inspect for leaks, loose belts, uid levels, gas lines, and
connections. Tighten if necessary.
