Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil. 3. Add up to 0.63 qt. (0.6 L) of oil and replace oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
46599 ENGLISH Add Fuel 1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume. 2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel. 3. Clean the area around the fuel cap. 4. Remove the fuel cap. 5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (0.64 cm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (0.64 cm) is recommended.
ENGLISH 46599 Operation Generator Location Grounding NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility. Generators used at construction sites may be subject to additional rules and regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level surface at all times.
46599 ENGLISH Operation Connecting Electrical Loads Do Not Overload Generator 1. Let the engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting 2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. –– DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator. –– DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator. –– DO NOT overload the generator. Capacity NOTE Connecting a generator to your electric utility company’s power lines or to another power source may be against the law.
ENGLISH 46599 Operation Operation at High Altitude The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and airfuel ratio decrease. Engine power and generator output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
46599 ENGLISH The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective generator. WARNING Maintenance and Storage Oil Cont’d. NOTE Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole. If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the dipstick while checking. Tampering with the factory set governor will void your warranty. WARNING Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
ENGLISH 46599 Maintenance and Storage Spark Arrester Adjustments 1. Allow the engine to cool completely before servicing the spark arrester. 2. Remove the two screws holding the cover plate which retains the end of the spark arrester to the muffler. 3. Remove the spark arrester screen. 4. Carefully remove the carbon deposits from the spark arrester screen with a wire brush. 5. Replace the spark arrester if it is damaged. 6. Position the spark arrester in the muffler and attach with the two screws.
46599 ENGLISH Generator Maintenance Make certain that the generator is kept clean and stored properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors. CAUTION DO NOT use a garden hose to clean the generator. Water can enter the generator through the cooling slots and damage the generator windings. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the generator.
