Owners Manual
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of a Briggs & Stratton Home
Standby Generator (HSG).This product is intended for use
as an optional home standby system which provides an
alternate source of electric power and to serve loads such as
heating, refrigeration systems, and communication systems
that, when stopped during any power outage, could cause
discomfort, or the like.This product DOES NOT qualify for
emergency standby as defined by NFPA 70 (NEC).
Briggs and Stratton has made every effort to provide for a
safe, streamlined and cost-effective installation. Because
each installation is unique, it is impossible to know of and
advise the trade of all conceivable procedures and methods
by which installation might be achieved. Neither could we
know of possible hazards and/or the results of each
method or procedure. For these reasons,
Only current licensed electrical and
plumbing contractors should attempt
HSG installations.
Installations must strictly comply with
all applicable codes, industry standards
and regulations.
Your Briggs & Stratton Home Standby Generator is
supplied with this "Owners Manual", a separate "Installation
Manual" (part number 192385GS) and aWarranty Sheet
(part number 190881GS).These are important documents
and should be retained by the owner after the installation
has been completed.

OWNER ORIENTATION
This section provides Home Standby Generator 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 Standby Generator.A thorough
understanding of these options will provide fundamental
control over the cost of your installation, as well as ensure
your final satisfaction and security.
Federal and local codes, appearance, noise levels, fuel types,
and distances are the factors that must be considered when
negotiating with an installation professional. 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 Standby
Generator installation.
