Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your outdoor generator. Know its applications,
its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save
these instructions for future reference.
The outdoor generator is an engine-driven, revolving
field, alternating current (AC) generator equipped with
a voltage regulator. The generator is designed to supply
electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting,
appliances, tools and motor loads. The voltage regulator
within the generator is designed to automatically maintain
output voltage level.
The portable generator can be used to power outdoor
items using extension cords or to restore home power
using a transfer switch. A transfer switch is a separate
device installed by a licensed electrician that allows the
portable generator to be cord connected, using the locking
receptacle, directly into your home’s electrical system.
Install a listed transfer switch as soon as possible if
generator will be used to provide home power restoration.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information
in this manual is both accurate and current. However,
the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or
otherwise improve the generator and this documentation at
any time without prior notice.
NOTICE If you have questions about intended use, contact
an authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to
be used with Briggs & Stratton ® authorized parts only.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals on the
AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to
the AC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator
frame).
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State regulations, local codes, or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
the local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a construction
