Initial Start-up (No Load)
The unit has been set-up for NG operation at the
factory. Fuel conversion, if needed, must be completed
prior to performing these steps. See Fuel Conversion.
Before operating the standby generator or placing it
into service, inspect the entire installation carefully.
Then begin testing the system without any electrical
loads connected, as follows:
1. Remove three screws (A) that secure control box
cover to enclosure to expose unit’s circuit breaker.
2. Connect an accurate frequency meter to line side
of generator’s main circuit breaker.
3. Set generator’s main circuit breaker to ON
(closed) position.
4. Install 15 Amp fuse in control board.
5. Press and hold MANUAL button on control board
for 3 seconds. Engine will start.
When the generator is started for the very first time, it
will require that air in the gaseous fuel lines be purged.
This may take a few minutes.
6. Listen for unusual noises, vibration or other
indications of abnormal operation. Check for oil
leaks while engine runs.
7. Let engine warm up for about 5 minutes to allow
internal temperatures to stabilize.
8. Check generator output at load side of circuit
breaker. Voltage should be 225 - 250 Volts,
frequency should be 59.0 - 61.0 Hz.
9. Check generator output between one generator
connection lug and neutral lug, then between
other generator connection lug and neutral lug. In
both cases, voltage reading should be between
112 and 125 Volts.
10. Push and hold OFF BUTTON on control board
until engine stops.
11. Reinstall control box cover.
