Installation Guide

2. Cooling System
Use only automotive grade antifreeze and distilled water in cooling
system. Do not use tap water, or water that contains salt or alkalis!
Using non-distilled water creates scale in the radiator, causing
corrosion and premature wear.
You must check and maintain all fuel, lubricant and coolant levels. Not doing so will accelerate and
shorten the life of the standby system. Attention must be paid to all uid systems and annually
serviced by an authorized service provider or call 844-367-5660 for assistance.
Converting from Natural Gas (NG) to Liquid Propane Gas (LPG)
Most generators are congured for natural gas operation at the factory. Switching over to LP Vapor
is a simple procedure.
Fuel Conversion
These fuels are ammable and explosive materials. Do not operate
around open ames.
1. When using LPG as fuel:
• Prior to each operation, you should check various components and handle any loose fasteners.
Check if there’s any fuel leakage around pipes and connections by utilizing a digital gas leak
detector (soapy water can be used). Service any leakage immediately!
• When changing fuel supply, close gas valve supply and allow fuel in the fuel line to burn off.
Then turn off main power breaker on standby control panel.
• After fuel supply conversion from LPG to NG replacement, use gas leak detector for any
leakage.
• Periodically check the pressure reducing valve, if the solenoid valve sealing pad is deformed.
You must rst close the manual valve on the fuel supply. Then start the engine. Use up the
gas in the fuel line before you remove the solenoid valve and other parts, if not, this will have a
greater risk of high-pressure or vapor lock and is not safe.
• The Pressure reducer is an important component of the gas supply system. You should pay
particular attention to its operation. If leakage occurs, the unit should be replaced. Periodically
remove the pollution discharge plug on the pressure reducer. Drain off the oil and
condensation. If the obstruction is not drained off, it can seriously affect its performance.
2. When using NG as fuel:
• Before each operation, you should check the integrity of the various components and handle
any loose fasteners immediately! Check if there’s any leakage from the fuel lines, pipes and
connections (soapy water can be used). Take care of leakage ASAP!
• Periodically check the pressure reducer, if the solenoid valve sealing pad is deformed, replace.
• Periodically check to see if any visible signs of wear, aging or leak detection are observed,
repair or replace. Soapy water can be used to detect leaks around connections.
• During maintenance of the gas line, the valve must be closed prior to repair.
• When the engine is operating, especially at high load, it should run 1-3 min in no load state,
to allow the engine to cool. Do not touch hot engine or electrical parts. The engine and
exhaust system components become extremely hot during operation. Make sure unit is
disconnected from main power and main gas lines before converting.
