WARNING
USING ELECTRIC POWER
Be sure to ground the generator if the connected electrical equipment is grounded.
NOTE:
(a) Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
(b)Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.
This generator is thoroughly tested and adjusted in the factory. If the generator does not
produce the specified voltage, consult your nearest FIRMAN Generator dealer.
When the circuit breaker or no-fuse breaker turns off during operation, the generator is
overloaded or the appliance is defective.
Stop the generator immediately, check the appliance and /or generator for overloading
or defect and repair as necessary.
[CAUTION]
WARNING
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and
noise while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the
engine speed to idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal
when an electrical load is connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine
runs at normal speed continuously.
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, the Economy Control
Switch should be turned OFF.
DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
DO NOT overload the generator
While charging a device do no place on the exhaust side of the generator. Extreme heat
caused by exhaust can damage the device, and cause a potential fire hazard
