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.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator General Precautions (cont’d) Extension Cord If an extension cord (not included) is used, make sure to use only UL approved cords having the correct gauge and length according to the following table: Nameplate Amps (@ full load) Cord Lengths 0 ft.- 50 ft. 50 ft.-100 ft. 100 ft.-150 ft. 150 ft.-200 ft. 0-5 16 AWG 16 AWG 12 AWG 12 AWG 5.1 - 8 16 AWG 14 AWG 10 AWG - 8.1 - 12 14 AWG 12 AWG - - 12.
Owner’s Manual Assembly and Installation Unpacking 1. Remove the generator and loose parts box from the carton. 2. Compare the Hardware Kit included with the inventory list below. Loose Parts (Wheel kit and handle) Check all loose parts against the following list. Contact your dealer toll free at 877.834.4218, if any of the parts listed below is/are not found. Hardware Check: Your wheel should include: 1) Two Handles with bolts, R pin 2) Two axle shaft with nuts.
5250W Dual Fuel 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 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.
Owner’s Manual Installation (cont’d) Supporting 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).
5250W Dual Fuel Generator Operation NOTE: THE PARTS LISTED ABOVE ARE HELPFUL FOR LOCATING THE CONTROLS MENTIONED BELOW GROUNDING Before Starting the Generator CAUTION: PRIOR TO FIRST USING THE GENERATOR, THE ENGINE MUST BE FILLED WITH 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 CRANKCASE UNTIL THE OIL LEVEL IS LEVEL WITH THE UPPER MARKED LINE ON THE DIPSTICK.
Owner’s Manual Operation(cont’d) Starting 1.Select Fuel Source: FOR GASOLINE: a. Switch the gasoline valve to ON position (Fig 8) b.Turn the Fuel Select Switch point to GAS (Fig 9) FOR LPG/PROPANE: a. Make sure the LPG hose is safely secured from the generator to the tank. b. Switch the gasoline valve to OFF position(Fig 10) c. Turn the Fuel Select Switch point to LPG(Fig 11) d. Fully open the propane tank valve. (Fig 12) 2. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator Operation (cont’d) STOPPING THE GENERATOR 1. Remove all connections from the control panel receptacles 2. Allow the generator to run at “no load” to reduce and stabilize engine and alternator temperatures. 3. If you operate with gas, switch the gasoline valve to OFF position(Fig 11)； Or if you operate with propane, shut –off the propane tank valve(Fig 14). 4.
Owner’s Manual Operation (cont’d) 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 is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If total demanding power exceeds the generator’s capacity, it is necessary to remove one or more of the tools and/or equipment to another generator.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator Operation (cont’d) Powering 12 Volt DC tools and Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the generator’s rated voltage, and amperage capacity (12V DC) 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 4. 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. 5. Measure the plug gap with a feeler gauge. (Correct as necessary by carefully bending the side electrode.) The gap should be: 0.70-0.80 mm (0.028-0.031in) （Fig 16） （Fig 16） 6. Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition. 7. After the spark plug is seated, tighten with a spark plug in by hand to prevent cross-threading. 8.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator • Before each use, make sure the engine’s oil and gas levels are adequate. If necessary, fill the crankcase until the oil level is even with the oil hill hole and/or fill the fuel tank. • Before each use, remove all debris with a soft brush, rag, or vacuum. • Lubricate all moving parts using a premium quality, lightweight machine oil. • Every 50 hours of use, drain the old engine oil and replace with a high quality SAE 10W-30 grade engine oil.
Owner’s Manual 3.Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the excess oil. The engine will smoke during initial start-up if too much oil is left in the element. 4. Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover Transporting/Storage When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch and the fuel valve OFF. Keep the generator level to prevent fuel spillage. Fuel vapor or spilled fuel may ignite. WARNING! Contact with a hot engine or exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator Fill with fresh gasoline and add gasoline conditioner*. Drain the carburetor float bowl. Drain the fuel sediment cup. Remove the spark plug. Put a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn the engine slowly with the pull rope to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug. Change the engine oil. After removal from storage, drain the stored gasoline into a suitable container, and fill with fresh gasoline before starting. 1 year or more Transporting/Storage 1.
Owner’s Manual 3. Remove the spark plug, and pour about a tablespoon of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several revolutions to distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug. 4. Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it from internal corrosion.
5250W Dual Fuel Generator CO-Seizer ™ CARBON MONOXIDE PROTECTING SYSTEM DANGER! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION: The Carbon Monoxide sensor is an additional layer of protection only.
