A: Yes, by leaving the black composite mounting pad attached to the generator with the back two bolts
and by removing the front two bolts. Place the generator, with the black composite mounting pad in
place, on top of the already placed and leveled GenPod. Align the bolt holes of any 8-22 KW Generac
produced generator with the inserts in the GenPad and attach together by using 3' long 3/8" bolts.
Installing with the black composite pad between the generator and GenPad also elevates the generator
so that the plastic fascia (standard with 20kw and available in kits for other sizes) can be used,

train the rear panel of the generator to an
adjacent structure for fire protection.
The criteria was to determine the worst case
fire scenario within the generator and to
determine the ignitability of items outside the
engine enclosure at various distances. The
enclosure is constructed of non-cornbustible
materials, and the results and conclusions
from the independent testing tab indicated
that any fire within the generator enclosure
would not pose any ignition risk to nearby
combustibles or structures, with or without
fire service personnel response.
Based on this testing and the requirements of
NFRA 37. Sec 4.1,4. the guidelines for instal-
lation of the generators listed above are
changed to 18 in (457 ram) from the back
side of the generator to a stationary wall or
building. This offset reduction does not apply
to clearances from openings In the structure.

Generator Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for mimirriz-
ing exhaust emissions and reducing the risk
of fire or equipment failure, For example:
• A dirty air filter or low engine oil level may
cause engine to overheat.
• Incorrect spark plug gaps may cause
engine backfiring and incomplete
Combustion.

be subjected to, standing water.
• Install unit where rein gutter downspouts,
roof run-off. landscape irrigation, water
sprinklers or sump pump discharge does
not flood unit or spray enclosure, including
any air inlet or outlet openings,
• Excess moisture can cause excess

IMPORTANT NOTE: NG and LP gas are
highly volatile substances. Strictly adhere
to all safety procedures, codes, standards,
and regulations.
Fuel line connections should be made by a
certified contractor familiar with local codes.
Always use AA -approved gas pipe and a
quality pipe sealant or joint compound.
Verify capacity of NG meter or LP tank to pro-
vide sufficient fuel for both the generator and
other operating appliances,
Fuel Shutoff Valve
See Figure 5-2. The generator will require an
external rinanual fuel shutoff valve jA) on the
fuel line.
NOTE: Fuel shutoff valve must be installed at
a readily accessible location. and within 6 ft
(1.8 Inn of generator fuel inlet.
Figure 5-2. Sediment Trap, Fuel Shutoff
Valve with Manometer Port, and Flexible

Figure 5-3 illustrates a fuel shutoff valve with a
manometer port for making fuel pressure
checks. This optional accessory fuel shutoff
valve permits making pressure checks for
diagnostic purposes without going into the
generator enclosure.

See Figure 5-2, When connecting flexible fuel
line (B) to generator, use a listed assembly
meeting the requirements of ANSI Z21,75/
CSA 6.27—Connectors for Outdoor Gas
Appliances and Manufactured Homes or
AGA-approved flexible fuel line in accordance
with local regulations.
Flexible fuel line must not be connected
directly to generator fuel inlet. Always connect
flexible fuel line to an approved gas filling.
The purpose of flexible fuel line is to isolate
vibration from the generator to reduce possr-
bility of a gas leak at one of the connection
points. Installation of a flexible fuel line is a
fuel gas code and installation requirement.
NOTE: Follow all installation instructions and
warnings provided with the flexible fuel line.
Do not remove any labels or tags. Flexible fuel
line must be installed honzontatly, and must
be installed between fuel shutoff Valve and
generator fuel inlet,
See Figure 5-2. Some local codes require a
sediment trap (C). The fuel regulator connec-
tion has an integrated sediment trap.
The sediment trap must be cleaned periodi-
cally according to local codes. See owner's
manual for rnme information.

the fuel system. However, it is important to
perform a final fuel system leak test before
starting the generator. The entire fuel systern
should be tested from supply to regulator.
See Figure 5-6. Perform a final fuel system

This generator is equipped with a configu-
rable exercise timer. Configuration can be
performed directly at the control panel or
though the Mobapplication, There
are two settings for the exercise timer:
Day/Time: Generator will start and exercise
for period defined, on day of week and at
time of day specified, During this exercise
period, unit runs for approximately five
utes and then shuts down.
Exercise frequency: Exercise frequency
can be set to Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly, If
Monthly is selected, day of month must be
selected from 1-28. Generator will exercise
on that day each month. Transfer of loads to
cise cycle unless utility power is �ost.
NOTE: If Wi-Fi is cnabl ed, exercise timer will
NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only
when generator is in AUTO, and will not work
unless this procedure is performed. If Wi-Fi is
NOT enabled, current date/time will need to
be reset every time the 12 volt battery is
disconnected and then reconnected, and/or
when the fuse is removed.
Low Speed Exercise (Cluiet-Tast"A) Pro-
file: Unit will run at operating speed for
approximately five seconds, then drop speed
to prepare for Quiet -Test, Speed will drop to
predetermined Quiet -Test speed after
approximately 40 seconds and continue to
run until Ouiet-Test is complete, a total of five
minutes.

If some condition impedes normal voltage
creation, such as frost crystals or dust/dirt
preventing a good electrical connection, start
sequence will be interrupted so a cleaning
cycle of the internal electrical connections
can be attempted.
Cleaning cycle is an extended warm up
period which lasts for several minutes while
normal generator voltage output is deter-
mined to be low- During this cycle, generator
controller will display "Warming Up" on the
display screen.
The generator controller display will show
"Under Voltage" if cleaning cycle fails to clear
the obstruction. After several minutes, alarm
message can be cleared, and the generator
restarted,
