WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate the Generator and power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators and power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the Generator and power tools. Provide barriers or shields as needed. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1.
6. Do not abuse Power Cords on tools. Never use a Power Cord to carry the tools or pull the Plug from the Generator’s outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY 1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the Generator. Do not use the Generator while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
2. Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 3. Maintain the Generator with care. Do not use a damaged Generator. Tag damaged Generators “Do not use” until repaired. 4. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged, have the Generator serviced before using.
4. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Generator. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. Installation Precautions: 1. WARNING! Before using the Generator, read and understand the Engine manufacturer’s Operation, Maintenance, and Parts manual. Also, read the safety precautions in this manual. These should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment. 2.
11. For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of the trailer, over the wheels. Consult your local DMV for possible installation regulations. 12. Install sound and weather proofing only when it is not raining or snowing to avoid trapping moisture within the Generator’s area. Fire And Explosion Precautions: 1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures.
2. Check for damaged parts. Before using the Generator, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. 3. The Generator is designed with guards for protection from moving parts.
Electrical Precautions: 1. 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. 2. The Generator must be earth-grounded in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation. 3.
9. Insulate all connections and disconnected wires. 10. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. 11. Use only Class BC or Class ABC fire extinguishers on electrical fires. INSTALLATION 1. NOTE: Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity (120V/20 AMPs) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power.
5. Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment being powered to reduce the length of extension cords. 6. If the Generator in located indoors, or in a Generator house, the Engine exhaust must be ventilated to the outdoors using leakproof, heat resistant, flexible, metal, flex tubing. GENERATOR SUPPORT AND MOUNTING 1. Mount the Generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the Generator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: For additional references to the parts discussed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram on page 18 of this manual. Pre-Start Checks: 1. Before operation, it will be necessary to refer to the Engine manufacturer’s Operation, Maintenance, and Parts manual (included) for detailed information about starting, running, and stopping the Engine. 2. IMPORTANT! Engine oil MUST be added to the Engine’s crankcase prior to starting and running the Engine.
5. Before the first use, remove the Fuel Tank Cap (30) and fill the Fuel Tank (26) with unleaded gasoline. Then, replace the Fuel Tank Cap. Thereafter, check the Engine’s Fuel Gauge (27) for the amount of unleaded gasoline in the Fuel Tank. If necessary, refill the Fuel Tank with unleaded gasoline. (See Figure D.) FUEL TANK CAP (30) FUEL TANK FUEL GAUGE (26) (27) FIGURE D FUEL TANK (32) To Start The Generator: 1.
FUEL VALVE (25) “ON/OFF” SWITCH FUEL CHOKE STARTER ROPE FIGURE E Powering Tools And Equipment: 1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity (120V/20 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. 2.
120 VOLT OUTLET (35) 120 VOLT OUTLET (35) CIRCUIT BREAKER (34) FIGURE F 3. NOTE: The Generator features an AC Non-Fuse Circuit Breaker (34) to protect the AC circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur the Circuit Breaker will “trip”, causing the Generator to automatically shut down. In this case, refer to Step #1. Then, reset the circuitry system by depressing the Circuit Breaker. Restart the Generator and continue powering the remaining tools and equipment. (See Figure F.) 4.
3. Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Generator. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. 4. Before each use: Check to make sure the Engine’s oil level is adequate.
