Owner’s Manual Installation Note: Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity (115V-20AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator. Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency power systems.
3.5KW Generator Installation (cont’d) Support and Mounting Mount the generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the frame by at least one foot. Contact a cement contractor for slab specifications if necessary. Attach the frame to the concrete slab using 3/8” diameter expansion anchor bolts (not supplied). Grounding Note: It is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform this procedure.
Owner’s Manual Operation Note: The parts listings above are helpful for locating the controls mentioned below. CAUTION: PRIOR TO FIRST USING THE GENERATOR, THE ENGINE MUST BE FILLED WITH APPROXIMATELY ¾ (0.63) QUART OF A HIGH QUALITY SAE 10W-30 GRADE ENGINE OIL. TO DO SO, UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE ENGINE’S OIL DIPSTICK LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. FILL THE ENGINE’S CRANKCASE UNTIL THE OIL LEVEL IS LEVEL WITH THE UPPER MARKED LINE ON THE DIPSTICK.
3.5KW Generator Operation (cont’d) Starting 1 Make sure the electrical powered tools/equipment that will be used are not plugged into the generator while the engine is started. 2 Turn the 120 volt AC circuit breaker to its “ON” position. 3 Open the fuel valve (40). 4 Close the choke lever (21A) to about 1/8” clearance. 5 Turn the engine power switch (2) to its “ON” position. 6 Hold the start handle (41A) loosely and pull it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the engine’s carburetor.
Owner’s Manual Operation (cont’d) Powering 120 Volt AC Tools And Equipment: 1 Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (110/120VAC @ 27.5 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.
3.5KW Generator Operation (cont’d) Powering 12 Volt DC tools And Equipment: 1 Prior to powering a tool or equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (12VDC @ 10 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the generator’s capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator. 2 Connect the power cord of a 12 VDC powered tool or equipment to the DC Terminals.
Owner’s Manual Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ENGINE POWER SWITCH (2) IS IN ITS “OFF” POSITION. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM THE ENGINE. AND ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE ENGINE AND GENERATOR TO COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE PERFORMING ANY INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, OR CLEANING. z Before each use, inspect the generator.
