This engine generator set has been designed and manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance. Poor maintenance, improper or careless use can result in potential deadly hazards; from electrical shock, exhaust gas asphyxiation, or fire. Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation or use. Keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note and follow all warnings on the unit labels and in the manuals. d. e. 3.
INTENDED USES These engine generator sets have been designed primarily for portable use. Both 120, 240 and 120/240 volt AC receptacles are provided in the 'control panel' to plug in your loads (lights, portable tools, and small appliances). These units are dual wound generators, therefore the 120 Volt loads must be equally split between the two power feeds not to exceed 60 amps on either side. See unit capabilities for further explanation.
WARNING: FIRE DANGER 4 WHEEL DOLLY KIT Gasoline and its fumes are VERY explosive when proper precautions are not taken. The WL18000 ships with a 4 wheel dolly kit as standard equipment. The dolly kit comes with instructions and parts list. After installing the dolly kit, file the instructions and parts list in the back of this manual for future reference.
2. Hot weather a. Use the proper oil for the temperature expected. b. Use only summer blended gasoline. Using gasoline left over from winter may cause the unit to vapor lock. c. DO NOT over-choke the unit. STOPPING AND STORAGE 1. 2. 3. Turn key to stop position. Close the fuel shut-off valve. Always shut the fuel off whenever the engine is stopped to prevent fuel leakage from carburetor.
Grounding 3. Many homes and construction sites are wired for at least 100 Amp entrance service, much greater than the capacity of these portable generators. When installing the generator at these sites, a secondary emergency distribution panel may have to be installed. The emergency distribution panel must be installed by a licensed electrician according to all applicable codes. The electrician will move the critical circuits to be powered during the outage to the emergency panel.
Cartridge Air Cleaner Remove and clean cartridge yearly or after every 400 hours, whichever occurs first. Service more often if necessary. Do not use petroleum solvents, such as kerosene, to attempt to clean the cartridge. They may cause deterioration of the cartridge. DO NOT OIL CARTRIDGE, DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED AIR TO CLEAN OR DRY. CLEANING Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. DO NOT use high pressure spray to clean either the engine or the generator.
