The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal word (DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING), a pictorial and/or a safety message to alert you to hazards. DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. [. . . ] TO THE INSTALLER: Consult with the Home Generator System owner(s) and convey any technical considerations that might affect their installation plans before applying these general guidelines. The following general rules apply to gaseous fuel system piping: · The piping should be of a material that conforms to federal and local codes, rigidly mounted and protected against vibration. Piping should be protected from physical damage where it passes through flower beds, shrub beds, and other cultivated areas where damage could occur. 3 (supplied) between the Home Generator System Fuel Inlet port and rigid piping to prevent thermal expansion or contraction from causing excessive stress on the piping material. Before placing the Home Generator System into service, the fuel system lines must be properly purged and leak tested. Consider the following factors when planning to install the fuel supply system: The Home Generator System engine is fitted with a fuel mixer system that meets the specifications of the California Air Resources Board for "tamper-proof" dual fuel systems. A minimum of one accessible, approved manual shutoff valve shall be installed in the fuel supply line within 6 ft (1. A union or flanged connection shall be provided downstream from this valve to permit removal of controls. Natural gas fuel supply pressure at the generator's fuel inlet port should be between 5 to 7 inches of water (in. The supplied flexible gaseous pipe is not to be installed underground or in contact with the ground. The entire flexible gaseous pipe must be visible for periodic inspection and must not be concealed within, contact, or run through any wall, floor, or partition. The Home Generator System unit has been factory set to run on natural gas. If you need to change from natural gas to LP gas, the unit will need to be reconfigured, as described on page 19. A manual fuel shut-off valve located outside the building, just before the generator unit. Where the formation of hydrates or ice is known to occur, piping should be protected against freezing. The termination of hard piping should include a sediment trap where condensate is not likely to freeze. The manometer port permits temporary installation of a manometer (Figure 5), to ensure that the engine receives the correct fuel pressure to operate efficiently throughout its operating range. When the initial test runs are completed, the manometer is removed and the port is plugged. See Figure 7 for estimated fuel supply requirements at half and full load for both natural gas and LP vapor. * = Natural Gas is in cubic feet per hour ** = LP Vapor is in cubic feet per hour Figures 8 and 9 provide the maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for gas pressures of 0. If an unusual number of fittings, bends, or other restrictions are used, please refer to federal and local codes.
