GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

To avoid the risk of shock or electrocution, generator must be properly grounded. The nut and ground terminal on the

frame must always be used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be made

with #8 size wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut, and tighten the nut

fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source.

The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. If a steel or iron

rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. diameter

and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the rod or pipe to a depth of 8 ft. If a rock bottom is encountered less than

4 ft. down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench.

All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator

must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or be “Double

Insulated.”

It is recommended to:

1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.

2. Use an extension cord with a 3-pole receptacle and a

3-prong plug at opposite ends to ensure continuity of the

ground protection from the generator to the appliance.

Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local

regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a quali-

fied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the

generator is properly grounded.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES



Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a color-

less, odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss

of consciousness and can lead to death. If running in a

confined or partially-enclosed area, the air may contain

a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide. To keep ex-

haust fumes from building up, always provide adequate

ventilation.



Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec-

tor when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,

dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and

get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have

carbon monoxide poisoning.



Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope

of no more than 4°.



Operate in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated from

working areas to avoid noise interference.



Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in

electrocution. Keep the unit dry.



Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all

types of combustible material.



Do not operate generator near hazardous material.



Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling

station.



Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately

after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.



Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless a

transfer switch has been properly installed by a qualified

electrician.



To connect a generator to your existing wiring, notify

your utility company that you are installing a generator

for backup power. Then have a licensed electrical contrac-

tor install a transfer switch. The transfer switch isolates

your home from the ability to “back feed” neutral power

lines. Failure to isolate the generator from power utility

can result in death or injury to electric utility workers.



Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when

filling. Fill to 1 in. below the top neck of the gasoline tank

to allow for fuel expansion. Check the ventilation hole in-

side the fuel tank cap for debris. Do not block the vent.



Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.



Allow the engine to remain in a shut-down condition for

at least five minutes before adding gasoline or oil.



Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when

the engine is running.



Pay close attention to all safety labels located on the

generator.



Keep children a minimum of 10 feet away from the gen-

erator at all times.



The unit operates best in temperatures between 23°F and

104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.



Specific modifications for high-altitude performance

are needed if the generator will always be operated at

altitudes above 5,000 feet. Contact your nearest Baja

authorized service center for more information and to

have these modifications performed.



Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use

them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan

someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.

ELECTRIC MOTOR LOADS

It is characteristic of common electric motors in normal operation to draw up to six times their running current while start-

ing. This table may be used to estimate the watts required to start “Code G” electric motors; however, if an electric motor

fails to start or reach running speed, turn off the appliance or tool immediately to avoid equipment damage. Always check

the requirements of the tool or appliance being used compared to the rated output of the generator.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

The 20 amp, 120 volt receptacles on the generator are pro-

tected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), which

guards against the hazards of ground fault currents. An

example of ground fault current is the current that would

flow through a person who is using an appliance with faulty

insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical

ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.

GFCI receptacles do not protect against short circuits,

overloads, or shocks.

The GFCI receptacles can be tested with the TEST and

RESET buttons.

To test:

 Depress the TEST button. This should cause the Reset

button to pop out.

 To restore power, depress the RESET button.

Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the

GFCI. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from

the weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use.

ELECTRICAL

GENERATOR CAPACITY

Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (run-

ning) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power

at the same time. Follow these simple steps.

�1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

�2. Total the continuous (running) watts of these items. This

is the amount of power the generator must produce to

keep the items running. See the wattage reference chart

at right.

�3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.

Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to

start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a

circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start

at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by

adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge

watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Example:

Tool or Appliance Continuous

Total Continuous (Running) Watts 3475

Plus Highest Additional Surge Watts + 2200

POWER MANAGEMENT

To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,

it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to

the generator. There should be nothing connected to the

generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct and

safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add

loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine

as described later in this manual.

2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest

load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs

smoothly and attached device operates properly).

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take

special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity

as previously described.
