TP-6195 1/04 29Section 6 Installation
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The multi-fuel system allows conversion from natural
gas to LP vapor (or vice-versa) in the field while
maintaining emissions-standard compliance. A trained
technician or authorized distributor/dealer can convert
the fuel system.
Two fuel connections on the fuel block allow field-
conversion between natural gas and LP vapor. The fuel
metering valves are factory-set and sealed to comply
with applicable emission standards and to provide the
best possible hot and cold starting.
Note: Do not adjust the factory-sealed fuel-metering
adjustments on the fuel block. Changing the
fuel-metering adjustments may violate federal or
state laws.
Use the following procedure to convert from natural gas
to LP vapor, moving the fuel connection from the natural
gas to the LP port, plugging the natural gas port, and
connecting the DSAM leads. See Figure 6-10 for the
fuel system component locations.
Fuel Conversion Procedure
1. Place the generator set master switch in the OFF
position.
2. Disconnect the power to the battery charger.
3. Disconnect the generator set engine starting
battery, negative (--) lead first.
4. Turn off the fuel supply.
5. Remove the hose clamp and fuel hose from the
hose fitting in the fuel block. See Figure 6-11.
6. Remove the hose fitting from the natural gas outlet
port in the fuel block. See Figure 6-11.
