INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high performance, air-cooled,

engine-driven generator. It is designed to supply electrical power to

operate an inverter/battery charger as a component in an off-grid power

solution.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure and is

intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This generator will operate

using vapor withdrawn liquid propane (LP).

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.

READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY

If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the nearest Dealer

for starting, operating and servicing procedures.

SAFETY RULES

Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the genera-

tor, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert

personnel to special instructions about a particular operation that may be

hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. Observe them carefully.

Their definitions are as follows:

INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION WHICH, IF

NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if not

avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTE:

Notes contain additional information important to a procedure

and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.

These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they

indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special

instructions while performing the action or service are essential to

preventing accidents.

Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER,

WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each

indicates is as follows:

This symbol points out important safety information that,

if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or

property of others.





This symbol points out potential explosion hazard.



This symbol points out potential fire hazard.



This symbol points out potential electrical shock hazard.

The operator is responsible for proper and safe use of the equipment. The

manufacturer strongly recommends that the operator read this Owner's

Manual and thoroughly understand all instructions before using this

equipment. The manufacturer also strongly recommends instructing other

users to properly start and operate the unit. This prepares them if they

need to operate the equipment in an emergency.

CONTENTS

This manual contains important instructions that should be followed dur-

ing installation and maintenance of the generator and batteries for the 6kW

LP, V-twin GT-530 Engine.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

It is the operator's responsibility to perform all safety checks, to make sure

that all maintenance for safe operation is performed promptly, and to have

the equipment checked periodically by a Dealer. Normal maintenance ser-

vice and replacement of parts are the responsibility of the owner/operator

and, as such, are not considered defects in materials or workmanship

within the terms of the warranty. Individual operating habits and usage

contribute to the need for maintenance service.

Proper maintenance and care of the generator ensures a minimum number

of problems and keep operating expenses at a minimum. See a Dealer for

service aids and accessories.

HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE

When the generator requires servicing or repairs, contact a Dealer for

assistance. Service technicians are factory-trained and are capable of

handling all service needs.

When contacting a Dealer about parts and service, always supply the

complete model number and serial number of the unit as given on its data

decal, which is located on the generator. See section "The Generator" for

decal location.

Despite the safe design of this generator,

operating this equipment imprudently, neglect-

ing its maintenance or being careless can

cause possible injury or death. Permit only

responsible and capable persons to install,

operate and maintain this equipment.



Potentially lethal voltages are generated by

these machines. Ensure all steps are taken to

render the machine safe before attempting to

work on the generator.

Parts of the generator are rotating and/or

hot during operation. Exercise care near run-

ning generators.

Installation must always comply with appli-

cable codes, standards, laws and regula-

tions.

A running generator gives off carbon mon-

oxide, and odorless, colorless poison gas.

Breathing in carbon monoxide can cause

headaches, fatigue, diziness, nausea, vomit-

ting, confusion, fainting, siezures or death.

If this generator is used to power electrical load

circuits normally powered by a utility power

source, it is required by code to install a trans-

fer switch. The transfer switch must effectively

isolate the electrical system from the utility

distribution system when the generator is oper-

ating (NEC 700, 701 & 702). Failure to isolate an

electrical system by such means will result in

damage to the generator and also may result in

injury or death to utility power workers due to

backfeed of electrical energy.

* Engine power is subject to and limited by such factors as fuel Btu content, ambi-

ent temperature and altitude. Engine 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.

1.6 READY TO RUN

The "Ready to Run" on the display is ready 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 approximately 150-160 volts AC, then

the system will display the message "No Utility Present". This

indicates that if the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is placed in

the Auto position, the generator will start.

3. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pressure, high

temperature, etc.

General Information

!"#$ $%&'($)'*&+)','-./$0-1$

)'23,,'-10.+3-/

This unit uses a LP vapor withdrawal system only. This type of

system uses the vapors formed above the liquid fuel in the storage

tank.

Recommended fuels should have a Btu content of at least 2,520

Btus per cubic foot for LP gas. Ask the fuel supplier for the Btu

content of the fuel.

Required fuel pressure for liquid propane, 10 inches to 12 inches

of water column (0.36 to 0.43 psi). The primary regulator for the

propane supply is NOT INCLUDED with the generator.

NOTE:

All pipe sizing, construction and layout must comply NFPA 58

for liquid propane applications. Once the generator is installed,

verify that the fuel pressure NEVER drops below 10 inches

water column.

Prior to installation of the generator, the installer should consult

local fuel suppliers or the fire marshal to check codes and regula-

tions for proper installation. Local codes will mandate correct rout-

ing of gaseous fuel line piping around gardens, shrubs and other

landscaping to prevent any damage.

Special considerations should be given when installing the unit

where local conditions include flooding, tornados, hurricanes,

earthquakes and unstable ground for the flexibility and strength of

piping and their connections.

Use an approved pipe sealant or joint compound on all threaded

fitting.

All installed gaseous fuel piping must be purged and leak tested

prior to initial start-up in accordance with local codes, standards

and regulations.

1.9.1 GENERATOR

Install the generator set, in its protective enclosure, outdoors,

where adequate cooling and ventilating air is always available

(Figure 1.3). Consider these factors:

The installation of the generator Y must comply strictly with

NFPA 37, NFPA 58, and NFPA 70 standards.

Install the unit where air inlet and outlet openings will not Y

become obstructed by leaves, grass, snow, etc.. If prevailing

winds will cause blowing or drifting, consider using a wind-

break to protect the unit.

Install the generator on high ground where water levels will not Y

rise and endanger it.

Allow sufficient room on all sides of the generator for mainte-Y

nance and servicing. This unit must be installed in accordance

with current applicable NFPA 37 and NFPA 70 standards; as

well as any other federal, state and local codes for minimum

distances from other structures. DO NOT install under wooden

decks or structures unless there is at least four (4) feet of clear-

ance above the generator, three (3) feet of clearance on sides

and front, and 18 inches of clearance at back of unit.

Install the unit where rain gutter down spouts, roof run-off, Y

landscape irrigation, water sprinklers or sump pump discharge

does not flood the unit or spray the enclosure, including any air

inlet or outlet openings.

If the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is not set to

its OFF position, the generator can crank and

start as soon as the battery cables are con-

nected. If the battery charger power supply

is not turned off, sparking can occur at the

battery posts and cause an explosion.

Minimum

Generator

Clearance from windows,

doors, any openings in the

wall, shrubs or vegetation

over 12” in height

Clearance from the ends and front of the

generator should be 36 inches. This

would include shrubs, trees and any

kind of vegetation. Clearance at the top

should be a minimum of 48 inches from

any structure, overhang or projections

from the wall. The generator should not

be placed under a deck or other

structure that is closed in and would limit

or contain air flow.

These guidelines are based upon fire

testing of the generator enclosure and

the manufacturer’s requirement for air

flow for proper operation. Local codes

may be different and more restrictive

than what is described here.

Fill the battery with the proper electrolyte fluid if necessary and

have the battery fully charged before installing it.

Before installing and connecting the battery, complete the follow-

ing steps:

1. Set the generator's AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to OFF.

2. Turn off utility power supply to the transfer switch.

3. Remove the 7.5A fuse from the generator control panel.

Battery cables were factory connected at the generator (Figure

1.5). Connect cables to battery posts as follows:

4. Connect the red battery cable (from starter contactor) to the

battery post indicated by a positive, POS or (+).

5. Connect the black battery cable (from frame ground) to the

battery post indicated by a negative, NEG or (W).

6. Install battery post covers supplied with the generator.

Figure 1.5 + Battery Cable Connections

NOTE:

Dielectric grease should be used on battery posts to aid in the

prevention of corrosion.

NOTE:

Damage will result if battery connections are made in reverse.

NOTE:

In areas where temperatures regularly fall below 32° F (0° C) it

is recommended that a pad type battery heater be installed to

aid in cold climate starting.

The following notes apply during cranking cycle.

1. Starter motor will not engage within five (5) seconds of the

engine shutting down.

2. The fuel output will not be energized with the starter.

3. The starter and magneto outputs will be energized together.

4. Once the starter is energized the control board will begin look-

ing for engine rotation. If it does not see an RPM signal within

three (3) seconds it will shut down and latch out on RPM

sensor loss.

5. Once the control board sees an RPM signal it will energize the

fuel solenoid, drive the throttle open and continue the crank

sequence.

6. Starter motor will disengage when speed reaches starter

dropout.

7. If the generator does not reach 2200 RPM within 15 seconds,

re-crank cycle will occur.

8. If engine stops turning between starter dropout and 2200

RPM, the board will go into a rest cycle for seven (7) seconds

then re-crank (if additional crank cycles exist).

9. Once started, the generator will wait for a hold-off period

before starting to monitor oil pressure and oil temperature

(refer to the Alarm Messages section for hold-off times).

10. During Manual start cranking, if the Mode switch is moved

from the Manual position, the cranking stops immediately.

11. During Auto mode cranking, if the remote start contacts OPEN

(OFF), the cranking cycle does NOT abort but continues until

complete. Once the engine starts, it will run for one (1) min-

ute, then shut down.

-.-./( 012341(54604(377

Initial Condition: Generator supplying power to customer load.

Once the contacts open, the controller will run the engine through

a one (1) minute cool down period and then shut down.

3.5 PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Highest Priority (Latching) Displayed on the control panel. They

must be cleared before the alarm message goes away. The alarm

log records each occurrence (see Appendix - "Menu System").

E)F(3&G(H"?,,>"?(I5J>+*)F$(6G#"BK

A five (5) second delay on start-up and seven (7) second delay

once the engine is running.

This switch (Figure 3.4) has normally closed contacts that are

held open by engine oil pressure during operation. Should the oil

pressure drop below the five (5) PSI range, switch contacts close

and the engine shuts down. The unit should not be restarted until

oil level is verified.

Operation

High Engine Temperature (Shutdown Alarm 7 Auto Reset)

A 10 second delay on start-up and one (1) second delay before

shutdown. Auto reset when the condition clears and restart the

engine if a valid start signal is still present.

This switch>s contacts (Figure 3.4) close if the temperature should

exceed approximately 140° C (284° F), initiating an engine shut-

down. Once the oil temperature drops to a safe level the switch>s

contacts open again.

Over Crank (Shutdown Alarm)

This occurs if the engine has not started within the specified crank

cycle. (See "Cranking" section.)

Figure 3. 4 7 Low Oil Pressure and

High Temperature Switches

High Temp Switch

Low Oil Switch

Oil Filter

Over Speed (Shutdown Alarm)

3000 RPM for three (3) seconds or 3300 RPM immediately. This

feature protects the generator from damage by shutting it down

if it happens to run faster than the preset limit. This protection

also prevents the generator from supplying an output that could

potentially damage appliances connected to the generator circuit.

Contact the nearest Dealer if this failure occurs.

RPM Sense Loss (Shutdown Alarm)

During cranking, if the Control Board does not see a valid RPM

signal within three (3) seconds, it will shut down and lock out on

RPM sense loss. While engine is running, if RPM signal is lost for

one (1) second the Control Board will shut the engine down, wait

15 seconds, then re-crank the engine. If no RPM signal is detected

within the first three (3) seconds of cranking, the Control Board

will shut the engine down and latch out on RPM sensor loss. If the

RPM signal is detected, the engine will start and run normally. If

the RPM signal is subsequently lost again, the Control Board will

try one more re-crank attempt before latching out and displaying

the RPM sensor failure message.

Under-frequency (Shutdown Alarm)

After starting, if the generator stays under frequency for more than

30 seconds it will shut down. The under-frequency setting is 55

Hz.

Internal Fault (Shutdown Alarm)

This alarm cannot be cleared, call service dealer.

Undervoltage (Shutdown Alarm)

If the generator voltage falls below 85% of nominal for more than

15 seconds, it shuts down.

Overvoltage (Shutdown Alarm)

If the generator voltage rises above 110% of rating for greater than

three (3) seconds, an alarm will be issued and the unit will shut

down.

If the generator voltage rises above 130% of rating for greater than

0.5 seconds, an alarm will be issued and the unit will shut down.

Clear Alarm

Clear the alarm by setting the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the

OFF position. Press the ENTER key to unlatch any active fault and

clear the corresponding alarm message.

3.5.2 WARNINGS

Second Priority (Non-latching) Displayed on the control panel

and the external yellow LED (V-twins only). Warnings automati-

cally clear when the monitored condition goes away. Warnings are

recorded in the alarm log. Warnings cannot cause shutdowns.

Low Battery

The Control Board monitors battery voltage and displays a warn-

ing if the battery voltage falls below 11.9 volts for one (1) minute.

Warning is automatically cleared if the battery voltage rises above

12.4 volts. Battery voltage is not monitored during the crank

cycle.

3.5.3 MAINTENANCE ALERTS

Third priority

Maintenance Message

When a maintenance period expires, a warning message will

be displayed. The alert can be reset by pressing the Enter key,

which will cause the user to be prompted to confirm the action.

Resetting will clear the alert and reset the maintenance counters

for all conditions annunciated. The history log will record the alert.

The maintenance counter will not accumulate without battery

power. Once battery power is restored, the set time prompt will be

displayed. The maintenance counters will be adjusted to the new

time and date.

NOTE:

Since most maintenance alerts will occur at the same time

(most have 500 hour or two (2) year intervals), only one will

appear on the display at any one time. Once the first alert is

cleared, the next active alert will be displayed.

NOTE:

When checking the oil level in the reservoir, it is normal that the

oil is steadily consumed, especially for the first 500 hours. At

the first service interval, the oil level in the reservoir will likely

be near the bottom of the dipstick. It is important that the engine

oil level remains within the limits of the dipstick.

4.3.3 OIL & OIL FILTER CHANGE PROCEDURE

To change the oil, proceed as follows:

1. Start the engine by moving the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to

MANUAL and run until it is thoroughly warmed up. Then shut

OFF the engine by moving the switch to the OFF position.

2. Immediately after the engine shuts OFF, pull the oil drain hose

(Figure 4.1) free of its retaining clip. Remove the cap from the

hose and drain the oil into a suitable container.

3. After the oil has drained, replace the cap onto the end of the

oil drain hose. Retain the hose in the clip.

Change the engine oil filter as follows:

1. With the oil drained, remove the old oil filter by turning it

counterclockwise.

2. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the gasket of the

new filter. See the Specifications section for recommended

filter.

3. Screw the new filter on by hand until its gasket lightly contacts

the oil filter adapter. Then, tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to

one turn (Figure 3.4).

4. Refill with the proper recommended oil (see the Engine Oil

Recommendations section). See the Specifications section

for oil capacities.

5. Start the engine, run for one (1) minute, and check for leaks.

6. Shutdown and recheck oil level, add as needed. DO NOT

OVER FILL.

7. Reset the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch to the AUTO position.

8. Dispose of used oil at a proper collection center.

* Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the oil reservoir.

4.4 CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR

CLEANER

See "The Generator" section for the location of the air cleaner. Use

the following procedures (Figure 4.2):

1. Lift the roof and remove the door.

2. Turn the two screws 1/4 turn counterclockwise to loosen.

3. Remove the cover and air filter.

4. Wipe away dust or debris from inside of the air box and

around edges.

5. Install the new air cleaner into the air box.

6. Install the cover. Turn the two cover screws 1/4 turn clock-

wise to tighten.

See the Service Schedule section for air cleaner maintenance. See

the Specifications section for air filter replacement part number.

Figure 4.2 ; Engine Air Cleaner

4.5 SPARK PLUGS

Reset the spark plugs gap or replace the spark plugs as necessary.

See the Service Schedule section for maintenance requirements.

1. Clean the area around the base of the spark plugs to keep dirt

and debris out of the engine.

2. Remove the spark plugs and check the condition. Replace

the spark plugs if worn or if reuse is questionable. See the

Service Schedule section for recommended inspection. Clean

by scraping or washing using a wire brush and commercial

solvent. Do not blast the spark plugs to clean.

3. Check the spark plug gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the

gap to 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) by carefully bending the ground

electrode (Figure 4.3).

Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The

battery is capable of exploding.



A battery presents a risk of electrical shock

and high short circuit current. The following

precautions are to be observed when work-

ing on batteries:

H Remove the 7.5A fuse from the generator con-

trol panel.

H Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

H Use tools with insulated handles.

H Wear rubber gloves and boots.

H Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the

battery.

H Disconnect charging source prior to connecting

or disconnecting battery terminals.

Do not open or mutilate the battery.

Released electrolyte has been known to

be harmful to the skin and eyes, and to be

toxic.

The electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that

is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is electri-

cally conductive and corrosive. The follow-

ing procedures are to be observed:

H Wear full eye protection and protective clothing.

H Where electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off

immediately with water.

H Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thor-

oughly and immediately with water and seek

medical attention.

H Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with

an acid neutralizing agent. A common practice

is to use a solution of 1 pound (500 grams)

bicarbonate of soda to 1 gallon (4 liters) of

water. The bicarbonate of soda solution is to

be added until the evidence of reaction (foam-

ing) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be

flushed with water and the area dried.



Lead-acid batteries present a risk of fire

because they generate hydrogen gas. The

following procedures are to be followed:

H DO NOT SMOKE when near the battery.

H DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area.

H Discharge static electricity from body before

touching the battery by first touching a ground-

ed metal surface.

Be sure the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is

set to the OFF position before connecting

the battery cables. If the switch is set to

AUTO or MANUAL, the generator can crank

and start as soon as the battery cables are

connected.





Be sure the utility power supply is turned off

and the 7.5A fuse is removed from the gener-

ator control panel, or sparking may occur at

the battery posts as the cables are attached

and cause an explosion.

4.7 ADJUSTING GT-530 VALVE

CLEARANCE

After the first six (6) months of operation or 500 hours of

operation, check the valve clearance in the engine, adjust if

necessary.
