EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION This generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads. This manual contains informationfor a generator that operates 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase,60Hz devices that require up to 5,000 watts (5.0 kW) of power that pull up to 41.7Amps at 120Volts or 20.8 Amps at 240Volts.

• The generator produces a very powerful voltage that can cause serious injury or death by electrocution. Never touch bare wires or receptacles. Never permit a child or any unqualified person to operate the generator. • Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing in water, while barefoot or while hands or feet are wet Death or serious injury from electrocution may result.
