HPS6000HE/I INSTALLATION AND OPERATORS MANUAL BI-FUEL GENERATOR
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS PROPER USE AND INSTALLATION This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the generator and battery. Read and understand all instructions in the manual before starting and operating the generator set. You must be sure your new engine generator set is: * Properly serviced before starting. * Operated in a well ventilated area. * Properly exhausted and gases safely dispersed. * Operated only for its designed purposes.
SAFETY INFORMATION b. c. d. e. f. This engine generator set has been designed and manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance. Poor maintenance, improper or careless use can result in potentially deadly hazards; from electrical shock, exhaust gas asphyxiation, or fire. Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation or use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note and follow all warnings on the unit labels and in the manuals. 3.
TESTING POLICY UNIT CAPABILITIES Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current and frequency are carefully checked. GENERATOR CONNECTIONS Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests of typical units, and is subject to and limited by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified by the manufacturer of the applicable engines.

If it is connected to a light load, or no load such as a power saw, it will require less starting current. The exact requirement will also vary with the brand or design of the motor. 2.

FUEL PRESSURE A positive fuel shut-off device must be installed in the fuel line close to the engine generator set. This manual shut-off valve is require by code even if the 12 volt fuel solenoid kit is installed. This optional 12 volt DC valve is available through your local Winco dealer and can be used to shut the fuel off during normal periods of operation without having to shut off the manual valve. Correct fuel pressure cannot be stressed enough.
CHANGING FUEL TYPES These engine generator sets are designed to run on two different fuels; gasoline, and natural gas. They may be easily changed from one fuel to another. FROM GASOLINE TO NG 1. With the engine running turn off the gasoline fuel valve. 2. Run the engine until it runs out of fuel. 3. Remove the plastic insert from the demand regulator. 4. Install a locally approved flexible fuel line. 5. Connect the NG vapor fuel line to the flexible fuel line.

OPERATING SPEED The engine-generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper electrical voltage and frequency. CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE The output voltage should be checked to ensure the generator is working properly prior to connecting a load to the generator. Failure to do so could result in damage to equipment plugged into the unit and possible injury to the individual. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied.
and generator ratings. The nameplate rating can be obtained through a single receptacle as long as the receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded. GROUNDING All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4 or 1” copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the enginegenerator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. Run a no. 10 Awg wire from clamp to the generator ground lug on the receptacle panel. Do not connect to a water pipe or to a ground used by a radio system.
