Bryant
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this model of the Bryant
product line. This model is a compact, high performance,
air-cooled, engine-driven generator designed to
automatically supply electrical power to operate critical
loads during a utility power failure.
This unit is factory installed in an all-weather, metal enclosure
that is intended exclusively for outdoor installation. This
generator will operate using either vapor withdrawn liquid
propane (LP) or natural gas (NG).
READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY
If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the
nearest Bryant Dealer for starting, operating and servicing
procedures.
Throughout this publication, and on tags and
decals affixed to the generator, DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE blocks are used to alert personnel
to special instructions about a particular operation that
may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.
Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, will result in serious
personal injury, including death, in addition to
property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, may result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
After this heading, read instructions that, if not
strictly complied with, could result in damage to
equipment and/or property.
NOTE:
After this heading, read explanatory statements
that require special emphasis.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards
that they indicate. Common sense and strict
compliance with the special instructions while
performing the service are essential to preventing
accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of
information each indicates follows:
This symbol points out important safety
information that, if not followed, could
endanger personal safety and/or property of
others.
This symbol points out potential explosion
hazard.
This symbol points out potential fire hazard.

shock hazard.
The operator is responsible for proper and safe use
of the equipment. Bryant strongly recommends that the
operator read this Owner's Manual and thoroughly
understand all instructions before using this equipment.
Bryant also strongly recommends instructing other users
to properly start and operate the unit. This prepares them
if they need to operate the equipment in an emergency.
