DANGER Carbon Monoxide Using a generator indoors WILL KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Carbon Monoxide Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even If you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO. · NEVER use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas.

Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Fuel and Oil (cont’d) • Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive. • Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could ignite fumes or vapors. • Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine is still hot.
6000W Propane Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Work Area • Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. • Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Electrical Safety (cont’d) • All connections and conduits from the generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable. • The generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation.
6000W Propane Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Personal Safety (cont’d) • Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position, and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use. • Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result in personal injury. • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. • Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Servicing Maintain labels and name plates on the generator and engine. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact All-Power immediately for a replacement. Generator service must be performed only qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow all appropriate instructions in this manual.
6000W Propane Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Installation (cont’d) • If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the generator and wiring conduit. • The generator weighs 201 lbs (approx). Two or more people should assist when moving or lifting this product. Never lift the generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs.
Owner’s Manual General Precautions (cont’d) Mechanical (cont’d) • Do not operate the generator with safety guards removed. While the generator is running, do not attempt to reach around the safety guard for maintenance or any other reason. • Keep hands, arms, long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry away from moving parts. Be aware that when engine parts are moving fast they cannot be seen clearly. • Keep access doors on enclosures closed and locked when access is not required.

6000W Propane Generator 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 (120V AC @ 42 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.
Powering 120/240 Volt AC Tools And Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (120V/240 AC @ 42/21 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.
1. Remove the spark plug cap. 2. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug. 3. Visually inspect the spark plug. Discard it if the insulator is cracked or chipped. Clean the spark plug with a wire brush if it is to be reused. 4. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. 5. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition. 6. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading.
Owner’s Manual Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance WARNING! ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE ENGINE POWER SWITCH 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. • Before each use, inspect the generator.
6000W Propane Generator Installation NOTE: PRIOR TO POWERING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR’S RATED VOLTAGE, WATTAGE AND AMPERAGE CAPACITY IS ADEQUATE TO SUPPLY ALL ELECTRICAL LOADS THAT THE UNIT WILL POWER. IF POWERING EXCEEDS THE GENERATOR’S CAPACITY, IT MAY BE NECCESSARY TO GROUP ONE OR MORE OF THE TOOLS AND/OR EQUIPMENT FOR CONNECTION TO A SEPERATE GENERATOR. Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency power systems.
