* Maximum wattage and current are subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambient temperature, altitude, engine power and condition, etc. Maximum 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.
** Load current values shown for 120 volts are maximum TOTAL values for two separate circuits. The maximum current in each circuit must not exceed the value stated for 240 volts.

1.6 SYSTEM SET LED
The “System Set” LED is lit when all of the following
conditions are true:
1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the AUTO
position.
2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is being
sensed by the PCB. If the utility sense voltage is not
connected to the unit or if it is below 168 volts AC,
then the system set light will flash rapidly. This
indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch is
placed in the Auto position, the generator will start.
3. The “Not In Auto” dip switch is set to the OFF position
on the control board.
4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pressure,
high temperature, etc.
1.7 FUEL REQUIREMENTS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
With LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawal
system. This type of system uses the vapors formed
above the liquid fuel in the storage tank. The engine has
been fitted with a fuel carburetion system that meets the
specifications of the 1997 California Air Resources Board
for tamper-proof dual fuel systems. The unit will run on
natural gas or LP gas, but it has been factory set to run
on natural gas.
