The maximum current in each circuit must not exceed the value stated for 240 volts.1.5.2 ENGINEType of EngineNumber of CylindersRated HorsepowerDisplacementCylinder BlockValve ArrangementIgnition SystemRecommended Spark PlugSpark Plug GapCompression RatioStarterOil Capacity Including FilterRecommended Oil FilterRecommended Air FilterOperating RPMASPASICCA007GH-410114.5 @ 3,600 rpm410ccAluminum w/Castiron SleeveOverhead ValvesSolid-state w/MagnetoRC 14YC0.76 mm (0.030 inch)8.6:112 VdcApprox. 1.5 QtsCarrier Part # 70185DCarrier Part # 0C81273,600ASPAS1CCA012GT-990230 @ 3,600 rpm992ccAluminum w/Castiron SleeveOverhead ValvesSolid-state w/MagnetoRC12YC0.508 mm (0.020 inch)9.5:112 VdcApprox. 1.7 QtsCarrier Part # 70185DCarrier Part # 0C81273,600ASPASlCCA015GT-990230 @ 3,600 rpm992ccAluminum w/Castiron SleeveOverhead ValvesSolid-state w/MagnetoRC12YC0.508 mm (0.020 inch)9.5:112VdcApprox. 1.7 QtsCarrier Part # 70185DCarrier Part # 0C81273,6001.6 SYSTEM SET LEDThe "System Set" LED is lit when all of the followingconditions are true:1. The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to the AUTOposition.2. The utility voltage being supplied to the unit is beingsensed by the PCB. If the utility sense voltage is notconnected to the unit or if it is below 168 volts AC,then the system set light will flash rapidly. Thisindicates that if the AUTO/OFF/ MANUAL switch isplaced in the Auto position, the generator will start.3. The "Not In Auto" dip switch is set to the OFF positionon the control board.6 Carrier4. No alarms are present, for example, low oil pressure,high temperature, etc.1.7 FUEL REQUIREMENTSAND RECOMMENDATIONSWith LP gas, use only the vapor withdrawalsystem, This type of system uses the vapors formedabove the liquid fuel in the storage tank. The engine hasbeen fitted with a fuel carburetion system that meets thespecifications of the 1997 California Air Resources Boardfor tamper-proof dual fuel systems. The unit will run onnatural gas or LP gas, but it has been factory set to runon natural gas.
