LP/NG FUEL CONVERSION
These generator sets are factory tested on Natural Gas
and will require no modifications for normal operation on
Natural Gas. The carburation system has been preset
and anti-tamper plugs have been installed in the
carburator as required by EPA.
If you are operating on LP fuel you will have to make the
following modification: On the left side of the engine,
above the starter there is a small two wire connector lying
loose. This connector has to be plugged into the mating
two wire connector coming out of the carburator area on
the left side of the unit. This connection will engage an
orifice in the carburator allowing the unit to operate on
Liquid Propane Vapor fuel. NO other adjustments are
required.
If you are reinstalling a unit that has been operating on
Liquid Propane vapor and you now want to operate it on
Natural Gas all that you will need to do is unplug this
connector.
LUBRICATION
Before starting the engine, check and fill the crankcase
with the proper weight/grade of oil, as recommended by
the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. The
necessity of using the correct oil, and keeping the
crankcase full cannot be over emphasized. Do Not
Overfill the Engine, Use the Dipstick.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
**** CAUTION ****
In the following battery installation procedure, check to be
sure the selector switch remains in the “stop” position.
This should be your last step before initial start-up.
A customer supplied twelve-volt battery is required to
complete the installation. Installation of the highest CCA
rated battery, within the correct BCI group, will increase
cold weather starting performance. Gel batteries should
not be used with the battery tender installed in the
generator enclosure.
