INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of aBriggs & Stratton

Home Generator System (HGS).Your HGS was designed to

provide automatic auxiliary electrical power for the

duration of normal power interruption. It is not intended

for use as primary power in place of utility nor for use in

life-support applicatioes.The generator unit has been

engineered and tested to exacting standards of

performance and reliability and is equipped with a UL®

listed Automatic Power Transfer Switch.

BriggsandStrat_onhasmadeevery effort to providefor a

safe,streamlinedandcost-effective installation.Because

eachinstallation is unique,it is impossible to know of and

advisethe trade of all conceivableprocedures and methods

by which installationmight be achieved.Neither could we

know of possible hazardsand/or the results of each

method or procedure. Forthese reasons,

Only current qualified electrical and

plumbing contractors should attempt

HGS installations.

Installations must strictly comply with

all applicable codes, industry standards

and regulations.

Your Briggs&Stratton Home Generator System issupplied

with this "Owners Manual",a separate "Installation Manual"

(part number 190838)and aWarranty Sheet (part number

190881).Theseare important documentsand shouldbe

retained by the owner after the installation hasbeen

completed.

Installation Assistance

For the Home or Business Owner:

To helpyou make informedchoicesand communicate

effectivelywith your installationcontractor(s),

Read and understand the

Owner Orientation Section of this manual

BEFORE contracting or starting

your HGS installation.

To arrange for proper installation, contact the store at

which you purchased your Briggs &Stratton Home

Generator System, your dealer, or your utility power

provider.

The HGS Warranty is VOID unless the system

is installed by certified electrical and

plumbing professionals.

For the Installing Dealer/Contractor:

For most applications, the Installation manual contains all

the information required to properly install and start the

Home Generator System.This Owner's Manual describes

essential circuit selection, routine operation and owner

maintenance procedures.

If you need more information, call 1-800-743-4115,

between 8:00 AM and 5_0 PM CT

The Emission Control System for this generator is

warranted for standards set by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency and by the California Air Resources

Board (CARB).

OWNER ORIENTATION

This section provides Home Generator System owners

with the information necessary to achieve the most

satisfactory and cost effective installation possible.

The illustrations are for typical circumstances and are

meant to familiarize you with the installation options

available with your Home Generator System.A thorough

understanding of these options will provide fundamental

control over the cost of your installation, es well as ensure

your final satisfaction and security.

Local codes, appearance, noise levels,fuel types, and

distances are the factors that must be considered when

negotiating with an installation professiona!. Remember that

as the distance from the existing electrical service and

gaseous fuel supply increases,equal compensations in piping

and wiring materials must be allowed for.This is necessary

to comply with local codes and overcome electrical voltage

drops and gaseous fuel pressure drops.

The factors mentioned above will have a direct

affect on the overall price of your Home Generator

System installation.

Briggs& Stratton Power Products Home Generator S)'stem

Owners Manual

NOTE: In some areas you may need to acquire electrical

permits for installing the Home Generator System, building

permits for installing gas lines, and permits for noise

allowances.Your installer should check your local codes

AND obtain the permits before installing the system.

Fuel Factors

An important consideration affecting the entire installation

is the type of fuel used by your Home Generator System.

The system was factory tested and adjusted using natural

gas as a fuel. Liquid propane (LP) may also be used as a fuel

(see the Installation Manual).

Although there are specific factors that are inherent to

each of these fuels, your location and the duration of

possible utility interruptions should guide your selection of

fuel type. For urban installations, Natural Gas (if available)

should be your fuel of choice. For remote installations, a

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) tank might better meet your

needs.

FOr proper engine function, the following fuel guidelines are

recommended:

• Use clean,dry fuel,free of moistureor anyparticulate

material. Using fuels outsidethe following recommended

values may causeperformance problems.

In engines set upto run on propane (LP)gas,

commercial grade HD5 propanewith a minimum fuel

energy of 2S00 BTUs/ftawith maximum propyiene

content of 5%and butaneand heaviergascontent of

2.5%and minimum propane content of90%.

J_,l_ I_ _:_ [e_'_!T_"_%:_l___ _;_ _!

_AUTION!This equipment is equipped with an

automatic safety gas"fuel shut-off" valve. Do Not

operate the equipment if the "fuel shut-off" valve is

missing or inoperative.

Power Decrease at High Altitude or High

Temperature

Air density is less at high altitudes, resu_ng 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). Make sure you and

your installer consider these factors when determining

total generator load.

Generator Location

The actual physical location of your backup generator has a

direct affect on:

I. The amount of plumbing required to fuel your

generator.

2. The amount of wiring required to control and connect

your generator.

NOTE: Specific location guidelines are discussed in the

Installation Manual.Acquaint yourself with that information

and confer with your installer. Be sure to ask how your site

might affect installation costs and compliance with local

codes and standards.

Generator Clearances

The generator enclosure must be a minimum of 3 ft.

(92 cm) from combustible material (NFPA 37). Leave at

least 3 fr_(92 cm) all around the enclosure for access to the

inside of the enclosure (NEC Art, I I 0-26a, Art. I I 0-26b).

The unit's exhaust port must be at least 5 ft. (I 52 cm) From

any building opening (window, door, vent etc.), and the

exhaust must not be able to accumulate in any occupied

area (Figure I).

Exhaust port must be

S ft (152em) minimum

distance from building

openings

installation details.Variations to this illustration are related

to code issues,piping distances and materials.

Essential Circuits

As a Home Generator System owner, it is important that

you clearly identify the circuits in your building that are

"essential" to you. Because the Home Generator System is

equipped with an A_omat_c Transfer Switch, your selection

of essential circuits will be transferred to the Home

Generator System within I5 seconds (+/- S seconds).

It is important that your installer understand whic__hcircuits

you want to include as "Essential Circuits". Depending on

the power consumed by these circuits, most or all of them

can be switched to the Home Generator System for the

duration of normal power interruption.

The wattage reference guide shown in Figure 3 will assist

you with your decision-making process.It provides the

wattage used by many ordinary household devices. Use it

asaguide when selecting your essential circuits.P,eview

this information with your installer and askabout any

technical considerations that might affect the cost of your

installation.

Essential Circuit Selection

When selecting the essential circuits that will be switched

to "Backup Power" it is important that the sum of the

combined circuit loads does not exceed the

wsttage/amperage capacity of the generator.To help you

with your selection of essential circuits, please consider the

following:

Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be

connected at one time.This total should NOT be

greater than the generator's wattage capacity.

The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light bulbs.

The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can

usuallybe found on a data plate or decal affixed to the

device.

If the appliance, tool or motor does not give wattage,

multiply 120Volts times the ampere rating to determine

watts (Volts x Amps :Watts).

Some electric motors (induction types) require about

three times more watts of power for starting than for

running.This surge lastsfor only a few seconds. Be sure

you allow for this highstarting wattage when selecting

electrical devices that will be energized by the Home

Generator System:

Figurethe watts required to start the largest motor.

Add that to the total running watts of all other

connected loads.

This BHggs & Stratton Home Generator System

complies with the following "stationary standby

power rating":

The standby power rating is applicable for supplying

emergency power for the duration of normal power

interruption. No sustained overload capability is available

for this raring.

This rating is applicable to installations served by a

reliable normal utility source.This raring is only applicable

to variable loads with an average load factor of 80% of

the standby rating for a maximum of 500 hours of

operation per year.The standby rating is only applicable

for emergency and standby power where the generator

set serves as the backup to the normal utility source.

Use the "Wattage Reference Guide" provided and mark

those circuits you consider "critical" or "essential". Make

sure you and your installer consider the system's altitude

above sea level and the ambient temperature range when

determining total generator load.
