Section 1: Safety Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high perfor-

mance, air-cooled, engine-driven generator. In off-grid

applications as part of an alternative energy system, the

generator starts when the inverter or battery charger

detects the normal power source voltage has dropped

below a preset level. The generator powers the inverter

and, once battery voltage rises to an acceptable level,

the generator shuts down. Another off-grid application

may be for use in remote locations where the generator

powers a water pump for a village, campground, or live-

stock.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal

enclosure intended exclusively for outdoor installation.

This generator will operate using either vapor withdrawn

liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).

NOTE: When sized correctly, this generator is suitable

for supplying typical residential loads such as induction

motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air conditioners, fur-

naces, etc.), electronic components (computer, monitor,

TV, etc.), lighting loads, and microwaves. This unit is also

equipped with a Wi-Fi®module, which allows the genera-

tor owner to monitor generator status from anywhere

they have Internet access.

NOTE: Wi-Fi®is a registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alli-

ance®.

The information in this manual is accurate based on

products produced at the time of publication. The manu-

facturer reserves the right to make technical updates,

corrections, and product revisions at any time without

notice.

ing, operating, and servicing procedures. The owner is

responsible for correct maintenance and safe use of the

unit.

This manual must be used in conjunction with all other

supporting product documentation supplied with the

product.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future reference. This

manual contains important instructions that must be fol-

lowed during placement, operation, and maintenance of

Safety Rules

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible cir-

cumstance that might involve a hazard. The alerts in this

manual, and on tags and decals affixed to the unit, are

not all inclusive. If using a procedure, work method, or

operating technique that the manufacturer does not spe-

cifically recommend, verify that it is safe for others and

does not render the equipment unsafe.

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals

affixed to the unit, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and

NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel to special

instructions about a particular operation that may be haz-

ardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe

them carefully. Alert definitions are as follows:

NOTE: Notes contain additional information important to

a procedure and will be found within the regular text of

this manual.

These safety alerts cannot eliminate the hazards that

they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with

the special instructions while performing the action or

service are essential to preventing accidents.
