Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an
appropriate ground to help prevent electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator
has been provided on the power panel. For remote
grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge
(12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator
ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground.
We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified
electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
Failure to properly ground the generator can result
in electric shock.
WARNING
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼” below the top of the
tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the
gas station. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
CAUTION
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling.
WARNING
Failure to install the spark arrester may result in an
increased risk of fire.
CAUTION
Installing the Spark Arrester
Insert the spark arrester screen into the muffler outlet.
Secure the spark arrester by placing the cover plate over
the end of the screen, with the lettering facing outward.
Secure the cover plate with the two screws and lock
washers provided with the spark arrester kit.
Federal and local laws and administrative
requirements indicate when and where spark
arresters are required. When ordered, spark arresters
are required for operation of this generator in
National Forest lands. In California, this generator
must not be used on any forest- covered land, brush-
covered land, or grass- covered land unless the
engine is equipped with a spark arrester.
