Service Air Cleaner
The engine air cleaner is one of the most important
areas to maintain. The engine will not run properly and
will be damaged if it is run with a dirty air cleaner system.
Use only genuine Briggs & Stratton parts. The use of
replacement parts which are not
UL® approved, may
damage the engine. Clean the foam pre-cleaner every
25 hours and the cartridge every 100 hours of operation.
Clean or replace more often in dusty or dirty conditions.
To service the air cleaner components:
1. Remove wing nut from top of air cleaner cover.
2. Remove winged from air filter retainer.
3. Service cartridge by tapping gently on a flat
surface. Do not oil cartridge. Replace if very dirty
or damaged.
4. Reinstall or replace air filter cartridge
5. Reinstall cover.
NOTE: Do not use petroleum solvents, e.g.
kerosene, which will cause the cartridge to
deteriorate. Do not use pressurized air to clean
cartridge. Pressurized air can damage the
cartridge.
Valve Lash
Valve lash must be checked while engine is cold after
every 100 hours of operation. Adjust if necessary (See
“VANGUARD™ V-Twin OHV Repair Manual (#272144).”
Valve lash is: Intake and Exhaust 0.004 - 0.006 in. (0.10
- 0.15 MM.)
Cooling Fins
Periodically, check to make sure the engine cooling fins,
screens and carburetor ducting are free of leaves, grass
or any other type of debris.

NOTE: Air density is less at high altitudes,
resulting in less available engine power.
Specifically, engine power will decrease 3.5% for
each 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level
and 1% for each 10°F (5.6°C) above 77°F
(25°C). If the generator is not developing full
power, make sure these factors have been
considered when determining total generator
load output.
Reconfigure The Fuel System
The engine of your Home Standby Generator System is
factory calibrated to run on natural gas (NG). It may also
be operated on liquefied propane gas (LPG). There is no
additional hardware/equipment required to switch
between either fuel. However, LPG fuel inlet pressure
must be between 11 and 14 inches water column.
To reconfigure the fuel system for LPG use:
1. Open the control panel access door.
2. Set the SYSTEM switch to
OFF.
3. Set the generator main circuit breaker
OFF.
4. Remove the 15 Amp fuse.
5. Remove the cap from the fitting marked LPG
above the fuel regulator ( Fig. 5).
6. Remove the fuel supply hose from the NG fitting.
7. Pull hose through hole in sheet metal bulkhead
towards engine.
8. Remove and reverse fuel hose bushing and plug
in sheet metal bulkhead (Plug in top hole, bushing
in bottom hole).
9. Insert fuel hose in bottom hole towards regulator.
10. Install the hose on the LPG fitting.
11. Install the cap on the NG fitting ( Fig. 5).
Fig. 5 - Fuel System Fittings
12. Reinstall the 15 Amp fuse.
13. Set the generator main circuit breaker
ON.
14. Set the SYSTEM switch to
ON.
• Close the control panel access door.
The system is now ready to operate using LPG fuel.
The fuel mixer is set at the factory. No field adjustments
are required.
GENERATOR AC CONNECTION
SYSTEM
A single-phase, three-wire AC connection system is
used in the Home Generator System. The stator
assembly consists of a pair of stationary windings with
two leads brought out of each winding. The two windings
are connected together in series, resulting in a fixed
240VAC, 60Hz output. Stator output leads #11 and #44
are the two hot leads. The junction of leads #22 and #33
form the neutral lead (Fig. 6).

SETTING THE EXERCISE TIMER
The Home Standby Generator System is equipped with
an exercise timer that will start and exercise the system
once every seven days. During this exercise period, the
unit runs for approximately 20 minutes and then shuts
down. Electrical load transfer does not occur during the
exercise cycle (unless a utility power outage occurs).
A switch on the control panel is labeled
SET EXERCISE
(See “SYSTEM CONTROLS” on page 13.).
The
specific day and the specific time of day this switch is
pressed is retained by a memory chip on the Control
Module Assembly (CMA). The day and time is then
referenced by the chip to automatically initiate the
system exercise cycle in seven days.
To perform the set exercise procedure:
1. Make sure the SYSTEM switch is set to
AUTO.
2. Choose the day and time you want your Home
Standby Generator System to exercise.
3. Press and hold down the
SET EXERCISE switch for
three seconds. The LED on the control panel will
flash until “SET EXERCISE” is complete.
4. Release the
SET EXERCISE switch.
Set exercise is complete.
As an example, if you press the
SET EXERCISE switch on
Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, the unit will run an
exercise cycle the following Sunday at 10:00 AM (± 30
minutes).
NOTE: Set exercise will only work if the unit is
in the
AUTO mode and this exact procedure is
followed. The exerciser will need to be re-set if
the 12 VDC battery is disconnected or if you
remove the 15 AMP fuse.
If you want to change the day and time the unit
exercises, simply perform the set exercise procedure on
the exact day and time you want it to take place.
CONTROL MODULE ASSEMBLY (CMA)
The Control Module Assembly (CMA) is a printed circuit
board that is integrated with the control panel of the
Home Standby System. It contains all the logic circuits,
operator controls and system displays necessary to
operate, program and protect the generator. In addition,
it also has an access port for a diagnostic service tool to
aid in troubleshooting external system components and
internal control module failures. The CMA interprets and
monitors electrical inputs from all related circuits
throughout the standby installation.
Before replacing the CMA, all other circuits must be
tested to ensure proper operation. When a failure in the
CMA has been determined, it must be replaced as a
complete assembly.
Functions of the CMA:
• Battery Trickle Charge
• Set Exercise Timer (SET EXERCISE)
• Manual Start (MANUAL OVER-RIDE)
• Sensing Utility Voltage
• Automatic Start, in event of utility failure.
• Automatic Engine Cool-Down Timer
• Fault Detection with Automatic Shutdown
• Fault Indication Display (LED)
• Diagnostic access port (SERVICE TOOL)
• Hour Meter
Power During CMA Fault Conditions
When the Home Generator System is in an uncorrected
fault condition, the automatic transfer switch defaults to
UTILITY POWER. This ensures that utility power is
automatically applied to all circuits in the home
-regardless of an uncorrected generator fault.
If the unit fails to exercise at its prescribed time:
• Check the fault indication number displayed on
the generator control panel.
• Perform the SET EXERCISE procedure.

CMA Connections
The CMA is connected to its various circuits through
three connectors that are mounted directly to the circuit
board. One connector has 8 pins , another has two
pins and the other has 10 pins (Fig. 9). All
receptacles have matching halves. The 2-pin plug
supplies 240VAC from UTILITY power. The 10-pin plug
is used for optional generator features. In addition, the
CMA also has connections for E1 and E2 which
sense 240VAC on the generator and four terminals
which can be used for optional battery and engine
warmers.
Fig. 9 - CMA Connector Receptacles And Pins
The 8-Pin Connector
The 8-pin connector is wired to the internal systems of
the unit and is the primary point of measurement for
troubleshooting the Home Standby System. When
directed to measure an electrical value, the location of a
meter probe is shown with an arrow in the picture and
the corresponding pin of the connector is
bold in a graphic illustration. The pin numbering of the

FAULT CODE INDICATIONS
The generator may have to run for long periods of time
with no operator present. For that reason, the CMA is
equipped with sensing circuits that automatically shut
down the generator in the event of potentially damaging
conditions.
A digital display is provided on the face of the control
panel to annunciate the type of failure (Fault Code) that
has occurred. In addition, there is an optional LED that
can be mounted elsewhere in the system to provide a
remote indication of generator failures.
When the CMA senses a condition that prevents the
generator from functioning properly, it shuts down the
generator and induces the digital display on the unit to
indicate
“FC_#” (# representing the number of the fault
code detected). Simultaneously, it signals the remote
LED to flash in a sequence of blinks that correspond to
the fault code indicated on the digital display.
Fault Code Index:
1. (FC_1) Low Battery Voltage
2.
(FC_2) Low Oil Pressure
3.
(FC_3) Low Output Voltage
4.
(FC_4) Engine Fails To Start
5.
(FC_5) Low Frequency

(FC_6) Engine Over-speed

(FC_7) High Oil Temperature
8.
(FC_8) Transfer Switch Failure
For example,
“FC_1” on the digital display would indicate
a low battery voltage condition and the remote LED
would flash once, pause, flash once again and continue
so on until reset or the condition is corrected.
Resetting The Fault Code Detection System
An operator or technician must reset the fault detection
system each time it activates.
To do so:
• Place the SYSTEM switch in the
OFF position for
5 seconds or more.
• Place the SYSTEM switch in the
AUTO position.
If the fault is not corrected, it will be detected again and
the unit will again go into Auto Shutdown with the same
fault code indication(s).
STOPPING THE SYSTEM FOR
MAINTENANCE
1. Ensure that the main line disconnect (MLD) is ON
and power is supplied to the UTILITY
CONNECTION lugs of the transfer switch.
2. Set the generator’s SYSTEM switch to
OFF.
3. Set the generator’s main circuit breaker to its
OFF
position.
Remove the 15 AMP fuse, as appropriate to your
maintenance needs.
