Section 1: Safety Information

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this compact, high

performance, air-cooled, engine-driven gen-

erator. It is designed to automatically supply

electrical power to operate critical loads

during a utility power failure.

This unit is factory installed in an all-weather,

metal enclosure intended exclusively for out-

door installation. This generator will operate

using either vapor withdrawn liquid propane

(LP) or natural gas (NG).

NOTE: This generator is suitable for supplying

typical residential loads such as induction

motors (sump pumps, refrigerators, air condi-

tioners, furnaces, etc.), electronic components

(computer, monitor, TV, etc.), lighting loads,

and microwaves, when sized correctly. This

unit is equipped with a Wi-Fi® module, which

allows the generator owner to monitor genera-

tor status from anywhere they have Internet

access.

NOTE: Wi-Fi® is a registered trademark of Wi-

Fi Alliance®.

The information in this manual is accurate

based on products produced at the time of

publication. The manufacturer reserves the

right to make technical updates, corrections,

and product revisions at any time without

notice.
