Instructions for Installation/Set-up, Operation, Servicing, & Storage

Portable, Outdoor Use-Only, Gasoline Generator

1661132 - 5500 Watt Continuous (7000 Watt Surge) Capacity

Can be used to power individual appliances plugged directly into the generator’s outlets, or as a

back-up connection to a building’s power supply (via a professionally installed UL-approved

transfer switch.

WARNING

READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before using the generator! Failure to properly set up,

operate, and maintain this generator could result in serious injury or death from carbon monoxide poisoning,

electric shock, fire/explosion, or burns. In particular, be aware of the following hazards:

CO Poisoning

Generators give off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.

ONLY run generator OUTDOORS and AWAY from building air intakes. NEVER run generator inside any enclosed or

semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, basements, garages, sheds, boxes, RVs, boats or pick-up truck beds. These

spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.

Install carbon monoxide alarms inside nearby structures/buildings (battery-operated, or plug-in with battery backup).

Electric shock / Electrocution

High voltage electricity from generator can kill. DO NOT operate in wet locations. Be sure generator is properly

grounded. Use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated grounded extension cords of proper size.

NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall outlet. ANY connection to a building’s electrical system MUST

ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM UTILITY POWER via a UL-approved transfer switch installed by a licensed

electrician. Otherwise, back feed from the generator into the power grid could kill utility workers.

Fire / Explosion

DO NOT overload generator (per rated capacity), and OPERATE ONLY in an area with adequate cooling ventilation so

engine does not overheat. Exhaust can be extremely hot. Keep muffler at least 7 feet from all combustible objects.

All fuels are flammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine. Never pump fuel directly into generator at gas station –use

approved container to transfer fuel. Ensure there are no fuel leaks, and keep sources of sparks and flames away.

ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.

STOP!

CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS. See the “Power load Planning & Management” section

of this manual to determine your power load requirements and then compare to the generator’s rated capacity.

INSPECT COMPONENTS: Closely inspect to make sure no components are missing or damaged. See the “Unpacking

& Delivery Inspection” section for instructions on whom to contact to report missing or damaged parts.

ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a transfer switch if you will be connecting the generator to

your building’s electrical system. See the “Installation/Initial Set-Up” section for more information about this

requirement.

About Your Generator

Thank you for purchasing your Powerhorse portable generator!

About Your Generator

This engine-driven, portable generator is designed to provide up to 7000Watts of

electrical power (5500 watts continuous, 7000 watts surge).

It can supply power:

1. As a portable power source. You can plug appliances directly into the generator’s

electrical outlets.

2. As a back-up, standby power source for a building. A licensed electrician can connect

the generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an UL-approved

transfer switch. (See the “Installation & Initial Set-up” section of this manual to learn

more about specific requirements and precautions relating to wiring the generator to your

building’s electrical system.)

You must select a generator adequately sized for your power needs. You need to

determine the power needs of all the appliances/tools you wish to power at the same time and

choose a generator rated to provide at least that power level. See the “Power Load Planning &

Management” section of this manual to determine your specific power load requirements and

then compare them to this generator’s rated capacity. You must not overload the generator.

Overloading will cause damage to the generator and attached electrical devices, and may also

result in fire.

Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this

generator. More detailed information can be found in the “Installation & Initial Set-up, Steps

5 & 6” of this manual.
