NG/ LP CONVERSION

**** CAUTION ****

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE - Do not make any fuel adjustments or
governor adjustments until all pressure readings are in compli-
ance with specification. See fuel pressure charts (tables 1, 2,
and 3).

The engine generator sets covered in this manual are shipped for
a specific fuel, either Liquid Propane (LP) vapor, Natural Gas
(NG) or Liquid Withdrawal Propane (LPG). If it should be
necessary to change the type of fuel used after a unit is received,
the following procedures are provided.

NOTE: For conversion to/from liquid withdrawal LP consult the
factory. Additional parts will be required for this conversion.

NATURAL GAS TO PROPANE VAPOR

1.

Turn off fuel supply.

2.

Remove the fuel line from the carburetor at the demand

regulator.

3.

Remove the cap on the upright column of the regulator. This

will expose the pressure spring adjusting screw. Back off the
spring adjusting screw so there is just enough room to replace
the cover. Replace the cover.

4.

Invert the regulator so it is positioned with the column

pointing down.

5.

Reconnect the fuel line at the regulator.

6.

Remove the 1/8 NPT plug (the one closest to fuel solenoid)

located on what is now the top of the regulator. Connect a fuel
pressure meter or a manometer where the plug has been
removed. Move the generator control switch to the run position.
As the unit starts to crank the fuel solenoid will open and you
should get a pressure reading of between 4 to 6 ounces (7 to 11
inches of water column).

7.

If the pressure is correct, remove the meter and reinstall the

pipe plug.

8.

Next the timing on the engine must be changed. As this unit

was shipped to operate on NG the timing advance was set at 36
degrees. For operation on LP it will be necessary for you to reset
the timing advance to 26 degrees.

9.

You are now ready to make the final fuel mixture adjustment.

These engines were adjusted at the factory to produce about .7 to
3.4% CO. If you have the ability to test the CO, adjust the
