Section 1: Safety Rules & General Information

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withdrawn liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).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, when sized properly. This unit is also

equipped with a Wi-Fi® module, which enables the

generator owner to monitor generator status from

anywhere Internet access is available.

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

Alliance®.

The information in this manual is accurate based on

products produced at the time of publication. The

manufacturer reserves the right to make technical

updates, corrections, and product revisions at any time

without notice.

Safety Rules

Study these SAFETY RULES carefully before installing,

operating, or servicing this equipment. Become familiar

with this owner’s manual and with the unit. The generator

can operate safely, efficiently, and reliably only if it is

properly installed, operated, and maintained. Many

accidents are caused by failing to follow simple and

fundamental rules or precautions.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible

circumstance 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 the manufacturer does not

specifically recommend, verify it is safe for others and

does not render the generator unsafe.
