1.12 FUEL CONSUMPTION
15 kW Models
Using Natural Gas ........................................236 cu. ft. per hour
Using LP Gas ..................................................92 cu. ft. per hour
20 kW Models
Using Natural Gas ........................................307 cu. ft. per hour
Using LP Gas ................................................122 cu. ft. per hour
25 kW Models
Using Natural Gas ........................................441 cu. ft. per hour
Using LP Gas ................................................175 cu. ft. per hour
NOTE:
Fuel consumption is given at rated maximum con-
tinuous power output when using natural gas
rated at 1000 Btu per cubic foot; or LP gas rated
2520 Btu per cubic foot. Actual fuel consumption
obtained may vary depending on such variables as
applied load, ambient temperature, engine condi-
tions and other environmental factors.
Fuel pressure for a natural gas set up should be five
inches to 14 inches of water column (0.18 to 0.5
psi) at all load ranges.
Fuel pressure for an LP vapor set up should be 11
inches to 14 inches of water column (0.4 to 0.5
psi) at all load ranges.
1.13 RECONFIGURING THE FUEL
SYSTEM FOR LP VAPOR
NOTE:
All models are configured for natural gas (NG)
from the factory.
To reconfigure the fuel system from NG to LP vapor,
follow these steps:
1. Turn the main gas supply off.

1.11.2 GENERATOR ‹
* Rated power of generator is subject to and limited by such factors as ambient temperature, altitude, engine condition, and other fac-
tors. Engine power will decrease about 3.5% for each 1000 feet above sea level and will decrease an additional 1% for each 10°F
above 60°F. Maximum output power of the generator is limited by maximum engine power.
