Briggs & Stratton Power Products Home Generator System

Owners Manual

BEFORE INITIAL START-UP

Engine Oil

This engine is shipped from the factory filled with the

recommended oil. Before starting the engine, check oil level

and ensure that engine is serviced as described in the

engine owner’s manual.

CAUTION! Any attempt to crank or start the

engine before it has been properly serviced with the

recommended oil will result in an engine failure that

is not covered under warranty.

Oil Considerations

Your Home Generator System is equipped with an engine

that has been pre-run at the factory and does not require

the traditional “break-in” procedure.

In order to provide a greater “backup” capability, the

system is filled with synthetic oil (API SJ/CF 5W-30W).This

allows for system operation in the widest range of

temperature and climate conditions.

NOTE: The use of synthetic oil DOES NOT alter the

required oil change intervals described in the engine

owner’s manual.

Battery Connection

The Home Generator System is supplied with a 12 Volt DC

18 Amp-Hour sealed rechargeable battery. It is installed in

the unit and the battery cables are connected at the

factory.The unit’s 15 Amp fuse has been removed for

shipping (this prevents the unit from starting).

CAUTION! DO NOT install the 15 Amp fuse

until all plumbing and wiring has been completed

and inspected. Failure to install the fuse as described

in the Installation Manual could cause the engine to

start.

NOTE: With the battery installed, utility power supplied to

the Automatic Transfer Switch, and the unit in AUTO mode,

the battery receives a trickle charge while the engine is not

running.The trickle charger cannot be used to recharge a

battery that is completely discharged.

Gaseous Fuel System

• Ensure that all fuel pipe connections are tight, secure and

without leaks.

• Ensure that all shutoff valves are OPEN and that

adequate pressure is available.

If you smell ‘raw’ gaseous fuel (natural or LP) near the unit,

immediately turn off the gas supply to the generator.

Contact your gas utility or the system installer for

assistance in determining the source of the smell.

The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch

This three-position device is referred to herein as

“AUTO/OFF/MANUAL”. It is found on the control panel, as

shown earlier, and is used as follows:

•“AUTO” position is the normal operating position. If a

utility power outage is sensed, the system will start the

generator, let it reach stable operating speed, then

connect generator power to the transfer switch.

When utility power is restored, the system reconnects

utility power to the transfer switch, lets the engine ‘cool

down’, shuts off the generator, and waits for the next

utility power outage.

•“OFF” position turns off a running generator, takes the

system out of Automatic mode and resets faults.The unit

will not exercise, but the ‘Set Exercise’ setting is not lost.

•“MANUAL” position starts the engine but does not

disconnect utility power from the transfer switch. It is

used for maintenance or diagnostic functions.

CAUTION!With the switch set to AUTO, the

engine may crank and start at any time without

warning. Such automatic starting normally occurs

when utility source voltage drops below a preset

level or during the normal exercise cycle.To prevent

possible injury that might be caused by such sudden

starts, always set the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch

to OFF and remove the 15 Amp fuse before

working on or around the generator or transfer

switch.

The other controls and devices installed on the control

panel are described on page 11,“Know Your System

Control Panel”.
