TP-6984 5/17a14 Section 1 Installation
1.5 Dimension Drawings
See the dimension drawings in Section 3 for the
generator set dimensions, fuel and electric inlet
locations, and recommended clearance.
1.6 Access the Air Intake Area
The battery, fuel system, and electrical connections are
located in the air intake area. Raise the roof and remove
the enclosure panel to access the air intake area during
installation as described below.
Note: Ensure that the battery is positioned toward the
front of the generator so it does not block the
alternator air intake vent. See Figure 1-5.
1. Remove panel screws and remove the panel. Pull
the panel up and off. See Figure 1-5.
2. To make the electrical connections, you will also
need to remove the cover panel over the terminal
block.
3. Reinstall the panels after all electrical connections
are complete and the battery is installed and
connected.

1.7 Fuel Requirements
Explosive fuel vapors.
Can cause severe injury or death.
Use extreme care when handling,
storing, and using fuels.
WARNING
The fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Vaporized fuels are highly explosive. Use
extreme care when handling and storing fuels. Store fuels in a
well-ventilated area away from spark-producing equipment
and out of the reach of children. Never add fuel to the tank
while the engine is running because spilled fuel may ignite on
contact with hot parts or from sparks. Do not smoke or permit
flames or sparks to occur near sources of spilled fuel or fuel
vapors. Keep the fuel lines and connections tight and in good
condition. Do not replace flexible fuel lines with rigid lines. Use
flexible sections to avoid fuel line breakage caused by
vibration. Do not operate the generator set in the presence of
fuel leaks, fuel accumulation, or sparks. Repair fuel systems
before resuming generator set operation.
Gas fuel leaks. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe
injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check
the LPG vapor or natural gas fuel system for leakage by using
a soap and water solution with the fuel system test pressurized
to 6--8 ounces per square inch (10--14 inches water column).
Do not use a soap solution containing either ammonia or
chlorine because both prevent bubble formation. A successful
test depends on the ability of the solution to bubble.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death.
Take additional precautions when using the following fuels:
Propane (LPG)—Adequate ventilation is mandatory.
Because propane is heavier than air, install propane gas
detectors low in a room. Inspect the detectors per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is mandatory. Because
natural gas rises, install natural gas detectors high in a room.
Inspect the detectors per the manufacturer’s instructions.
The generator set operates using natural gas or LPG
fuel. The generator set is EPA-certified for both natural
gas and LPG fuels.
The fuel system installation must comply with applicable
national, state, and local codes.
