DESCRIPTION

_Read this manual carefully and become familiar

with your generator. Know its applications, its

limitations and any hazards involved.

This generator isan engine-driven, revolving field,

alternating current (AC) generator. It was designedto

supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical

lighting, appliances,tools and motor loads.Thegenerator's

revolving field is driven at about 3,600rpm by the engine.

CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the generator's

wattage/amperagecapacity.See"Don't Overload

Generator" on page I I.

Every effort hasbeen madeto ensure that informationin

this manualis accurate and current. However, we reserve

the right to change,alter or otherwise improve the product

and this document at anytime without prior notice.

The Emission Control System for this generator is

warranted for standards set by the Environmental

Protection Agency.For warranty information refer to the

engine owner's manual.

In the State of California a spark arrester is required by lawJ

(Section 4442 of the California PublicResourcesCode).

Other states may havesimilar laws.Federallawsapply on

federal lands.If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester,

it must be maintained in effective working order.

INSTALL WHEEL KIT

NOTE: Wheel kit isnot intendedfor over-the-road use.

To installyour wheel kit, you need the following toot:

• Socket wrench with I/2" or 13mm sockets.

• Neddle-nose pliers

InstallWheel Kit as follows: (SeeFigure I)

I. Placegenerator on a hard flat surface.

2. Standat control panel end of generator and gently tilt

generator up,high enough to placewooden blocks

beneath cradle.This will allow you to add wheels.

3. Slide axle through holes in brackets provided on

generator cradle.

4. Slide a wheel spacer,wheel and flat washer on one end

of axle. Make sure air inflationvalve isoutward. Place

e-ring onto groove in axle.

5. Placeone end of needle nose pliers on bottom of axle

and other end of pliers on top of e-ring.Seate-ring by

pressing pliers closed.

6. Slideaxlethrough until wheel istight againstbracket.

7. Install e-ring on other side in same manner as steps4

& 5. Removewooden blocks.

INSTALLING BATTERY

NOTE: The generator canbe started manually.If you

choose not to use the electric start feature of this

generator, you do not need to install the battery.

_AUTION! If battery is not installed,DO NOT

operate engine without insulatingthe red positive

battery cable with electrical tape, or it could blow a

fuse and causesparks.

We recommend you purchase and install a Briggs &

Stratton 12Volt DC battery (Group U I;Type GT-X).The

battery should be serviced with electrolyte fluid and fully

charged prior to installation.

Install the battery as follows:

I. Find battery fasteners shipped loosein carton.

2. Set battery onto tray.

3. Retainbattery to tray with one battery hold down

bracket,two Jbolts,two fiat washersandtwo hex nuts

(Figure2).

4. Connect red battery cablefrom engine starter switch

to positive (+) terminal on battery with bolt, washer

and nut (Figure2).

5. Connect black battery cable to negative (-) terminal

on battery with bolt, washer and nut (Figure 2).

6. Double check all connections to ensure they are in

correct locations and secure.

BEFORE STARTING THE

ENGINE

Add Engine Oil and Fuel

•Place generator on a level surface.

• Refer to engine owner's manualand follow oil and fuel

recommendations and instructions.

CAUTION

•Refer to engine manualfor oil andfuel fill information.

• Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this

instructionwill void warranty.

NOTE: Check oil often during engine break-in. Refer to

engine owner's manualfor recommendations.

NOTE: The generator assembly rotates on a pretubricated

and sealed ball bearing that requires no additional

lubricationfor the life of the bearing.

USING THE GENERATOR

System Ground

The generator hasa systemground that connects the

generator frame components to the ground terminals on

the AC output receptacles.The systemground is connected

to theAC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded to the

generator frame).

Special Requirements

There may be Federalor State Occupational Safetyand

Health Administration (OSHA) regulations,localcodes,or

ordinances that apply to the intendeduseof the generator.

Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector,or

the localagencyhavingjurisdiction.

•In some areas,generators are required to be registered

with localutilitycompanies.

• If the generator isusedat a construction site,there may

be additional regulations which must be observed.

Connecting to a Building's Electrical

System

Connections for standby power to a buitding's electrical

system must be made by a qualified electrician.The

connection must isolate the generator power from utility

power, and must comply with all applicablelawsand

electrical codes.

DANGER

When usinggenerator for backup power, notifyutility

company.Use approved transfer equipment to isolate

generator from electric utility.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in anydamp or

highly conductive area,such asmetal decking or steel work.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn

frayed,bare or otherwise damaged.

DO NOT operate generator in the rain.

DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing

inwater, while barefoot, or while handsor feet are wet.

DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or

service generator.

OPERATING THE

G EN ERATO R

CAUTION

See"Don't Overload Generator" on page I I.

Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting

electrical loads.

Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for

operation.

Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator

before stopping generator.

Starting the Engine

Disconnect altelectrical loadsfrom the generator. Use the

following start instruction steps by numerical order:

I. Make sure unit is on a levelsurface.

IMPORTANT: Failureto start and operate unit on a level

surface will causethe unit not to start or shut down during

operation.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 3).

Fuel Valve is shown

in the On position

3. Follow start instructions given in engine owner's

manual.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3pulls but fails to run, or if

unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a

level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.

This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device.

See engine manual.

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Let engine stabilize and warm upfor a few minutes after

starting.

• Plug in and turn on desired 120 and/or 240VottAC,

singlephase,60 Hz electrical loads.

• DO NOT connect 240Volt loads to 120Volt receptacles.

• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to generator.

• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loadsto generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOADTHE GENERATOR. See

"Don't Overload Generator" on page 1I.

Stopping the Engine

I. Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel

receptacles.NEVER start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged in and turned ON.

2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to

stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the

engine owner's manual.

4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.

COLD WEATH ER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below

40°F [4°C] and a high clew point), your generator may

experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase

breather system.

Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top

of the generator:

I. Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed.

Note that your generator mayappear different from

that shown in Figure 4.

2. Ensurea minimum of two feet clearance between open

side of box and nearest object.

3. Faceexposed end away from wind and elements.

4. Enclosure should hold enough heat created by

generator to prevent problems.

_, DANGER

Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for

adequate ventilation.

DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure,

including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

Remove generator from shelter when temperature is above

40°F [4°C].

RECEPTACLES

_, CAUTION

NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more

amperagethan generator or receptacle can supply.

DO NOT overload the generator. See"Don't Overload

Generator".
