Normal Operating Range
This unit is tested in accordance to UL 2200 standards with an operating temperature of 20 °F (-29 °C) to 122 °F. (50 °C). For areas where temperatures fall
below 32 °F (0 °C), a cold weather kit is highly recommended. When operated above 77º F (25º C) there may be a decrease in engine power. (Please reference the
engine specifications section).
These generators are rated in accordance with UL2200, Safety Standard for Stationary Engine Generator Assemblies; and CSA-C22.2 No. 100-04 Standard for Motors and Generators.
* Natural Gas ratings will depend on specific fuel Btu content. Typical derates are between 10-20% off the LP gas rating.
** Circuits to be moved must be protected by same size breaker. For example, a 15 amp circuit in the main panel must be a 15 amp circuit in the transfer switch.

* Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature and altitude. Engine power decreases about 3.5 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level; and
also will decrease about 1 percent for each 6 C (10 F) above 16 C (60 F) ambient temperature.
