Read this manual. Do not attempt to operate equipment until you have read this Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Ins_'uctions. NOTE: This manual is a general manual. Information in this manual may or may not pertain to your model. Please read carefully. NOTE: Left and right describes the location of a part with the operator facing the outlet panel, REMOVE GENERATOR FROM CARTON . Open carton from top. . Cut carton along dotted lines. . Remove all carton inserts. .
TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF BATTERY . Recommended Battery for Electnc Start: 12V - 45 A H. or 210 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) Purchase battery and battery hardware separately, not included with unit. _. Place battery in Packwith terminals facing towards generator head. 2. Place battery bracket (A) over battery as shown in Figure (opposite battery terminals), 3. Place 'L' bolt (B) through top and bottom brackets and secure with wing nut (C). 4, 5. Locate the solenoid on the left side of the unit.
OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR There are baalcally 2 ways to obtain electricity from a generetor: 1. Use of extension cords directly from the generetor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc. 2. Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed directly to the main electdc._l supply outalde of house.

12V DC OUTLET IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine to stabilize. IMPORTANT: When _e unit is running the baf_terywill charge. DO NOT connect the 12V DC cables to the genera/cor'ebattery. To charge battery:.
TO START THE ENGINE Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. 1+ Open the fuel shut-off valve. 2+ Move the choke control located on the engine to the '_Choke"position. NOTE; No choke is required on warm engines, make sure choke is in the "RUN" position on warm engine starts. 3+ For Electric Start:Push OFP_RUN\STAF_T switch on control panel to the "START" position to start engine.
STOPPING ENGINE 1, Disconnect all electrical loads. 2, Turn OFFiRUNiST_T switch to "OFF' position. g, Close fuel shut-off valve. CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS 1, Leeengine run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical load.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILrrlEs MAINTENANCE TASK Check oil level TABLE Before each use Every 25 Hours of Every Season X See Note 2 Every 50 Hours of Every Season Every 100 Hours of Every Season See Note I Change oil Clean Air Filter .Assembly x Check Spark Plug x Prepare Unit for Storage X Prepare unit for storage if it is to remain idle for more than 30 days.
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following infon'natron as a gurde to prepare the generator for storege. Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, wafer heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. ENGINE PREPARATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimizethe formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload, 1. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool, 2. Triers are two types of electrfcal appliances that can be powered by your generator: A. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load'.
STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. Some applianoas and tools will list on the motor nameplate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to oonvert voltage and amperage to wattage: Volts X Amp -- Watts Example: 120 volts x 10 amps -- 1200 watts 2. To determine the approximate starting wattage requirementfor most applianoas and tools with inductive "type motors, multiply the Wattage that was oalculeted by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capaoity.

Most generatorsare equipped with a low-oil shutdown. If the oil is low or if the Generator is not level, the engine will not start, WArrA WIRING Contact an electrician for any wiring instructions. If wiring into a house, a double-throw transfer switch and a heavy du_, cord set must be used.
