Thank you for purchasing this model of the CARRIERproduct line. This

model is acompact, high performance, air-cooled,engine-driven generator

designedto automatically supply electrical powerto operate critical loads

during a utility powerfailure.

Thisunit isfactoryinstalledin anall-weather,acousticalmetalenclosure

that is intendedexclusivelyfor outdoorinstallation.This generatorwill

operateusingeitherliquidpropanegas(LPG)or naturalgas(NG).
