Engine Adjustment
There are regional variances in the composition of natural
gas. Each home generator unit leaves the factory set for
NG operation. If the generator output voltage or frequency
measured during Initial Start-Up is outside the listed ranges,
the combustibility of the gas supplied at the installtion
site may be substantially different from the fuel used at
the factory.
To adjust the engine for this difference, proceed as follows.
1. Remove four screws that hold circuit breaker cover to
air intake guard.
2. Connect an accurate frequency meter to line side of
generator’s circuit breaker.
3. Ensure that the 15 Amp fuse is installed.
4. Set the generator’s circuit breaker ON.
5. Set the generator’s system switch to AUTO.
6. Push MANUAL OVER-RIDE button on control panel.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up for
five minutes.

adjustment is needed at no load, slowly rotate the
governor adjustment screw (A) clockwise and/or
