INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-
cooled, engine-driven generator. It is designed to automatically
supply electrical power to operate critical loads during a utility
power failure.
This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure that
is intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This generator
will operate using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or
natural gas (NG).
NOTE:
This generator is suitable for supplying typical
residential loads such as Induction Motors (sump
pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, furnaces, etc.),
Electronic Components (computer, monitor, TV, etc.),
Lighting Loads and Microwaves.
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY 
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the
nearest Dealer for starting, operating and servicing procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or
carelessly. Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
DANGER
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in serious person-
al injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in serious per-
sonal injury, including death.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, might result in minor or mod-
erate injury.
NOTE:
After this heading, read instructions that, if not strict-
ly complied with, may result in damage to equipment
and/or property.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special
instructions while performing the service are essential to
preventing accidents.
