Setting up Installation

After you purchase a new Standby Generator system, it will need to be professionally installed. Your local Briggs & Stratton

Authorized Standby Generator Dealer can handle the complete installation OR you can choose your own qualiﬁed electrician.

1. Coordinate with a qualiﬁed electrician for installation of the Standby Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch.

2. If the Standby Generator will be connected to a natural gas line, coordinate with a qualiﬁed gas installation company or

plumber for proper gas line installation. Keep in mind that for optimal generator performance, your gas meter and pipe

needs to be properly sized to supply the required gas pressure. If the Standby Generator will be connected to a propane fuel

source, contact your propane gas company.

3. Standby Generators must be installed to local code requirements. An Authorized Briggs & Stratton Standby Generator

Dealer, or your local electrician, can coordinate with authorities for any inspections or permits that may be required.

4. After installation, we encourage you to test the installed generator based on start-up instructions provided with the unit.

5. Finally, register your new product.

GENErATOr MAINTENANCE

The generator warranty does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or neglect. To receive full value from the

warranty, the operator must maintain the system as instructed in the Operator’s Manual.

All adjustments should be made at least once each season. Follow the requirements in the Operator’s Manual.

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean. Operate the unit in an environment where it will not be exposed to

excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air louvers on the enclosure must not become clogged with snow,

leaves, or any other foreign material. To prevent generator damage caused by overheating, keep the enclosure cooling inlets and

outlets clean and unobstructed at all times.

Check the cleanliness of the unit frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its

exterior/interior surface. Inspect the air inlet and outlet openings inside and outside the enclosure to ensure air ﬂow is not blocked.

DO NOT use direct spray from a garden hose to clean generator. Water can enter the engine and generator and cause problems.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

An engine manual was packaged with this system. Refer to that manual for all engine-related maintenance topics, such as oil,

oil ﬁlter, coolant, spark plugs and so forth. Proper engine cooling and lubrication are very important, so pay particular attention

to these matters. Service part numbers for common maintenance parts are available through our Briggs & Stratton Standby

Maintenance Parts Chart.

Engine Oil

The engine is shipped from the factory pre-run and ﬁlled with non-synthetic oil (API SL 10W-30). This allows for system operation in a

wide range of temperature and climate conditions.

Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for recommended oil change intervals.

1. Set control board system switch to OFF.

2. Remove 15 Amp fuse from control panel.

3. Place oil drain hose into an approved container.

4. Remove brass ﬁtting from end of drain hose.

5. Change oil while the engine is still warm from running, as described in the engine Operator’s Manual.

6. When oil has drained, replace brass ﬁtting on hose.

7. Add oil. Follow the oil grade recommendation, oil ﬁll, and oil ﬁlter service instructions given in the engine Operator’s Manual.

NOTICE Any attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly serviced with the recommended oil will result in

equipment failure.
