READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE (cont’d) HAZARD Operation of generator in rain, wet, icy, or flooded conditions. Use of worn, damaged, undersized or ungrounded extension cords. WHAT COULD HAPPEN Water is an excellent conductor of Operate generator in a clean, dry, electricity! Water which comes in well ventilated area. Make sure contact with electrically charged hands are dry before touching unit.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF FIRE HAZARD WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Attempting to fill the fuel tank while the engine is running. Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from an electrical spark. Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. Risk of Injury and Property Damage When Transporting Generator WHAT COULD HAPPEN HAZARD Fire, Inhalation, Damage to Vehicle Surfaces Fuel or oil can leak or spill and could result in fire or breathing hazard, serious injury or death can result. Fuel or oil leaks will damage carpet, paint or other surfaces in vehicles or trailers.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION HAZARD Operation of generator in careless manner. WHAT COULD HAPPEN All sources of energy include the potential for injury. Unsafe operation or maintenance of your generator could lead to serious injury or death to you or others. HOW TO PREVENT IT • • • • Operation of voltage sensitive appliances without a voltage surge protector.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF HOT SURFACES HAZARD Contact with hot engine and generator components. WHAT COULD HAPPEN Contact with hot surfaces, such as engines exhaust components, could result in serious burns. HOW TO PREVENT IT During operation, touch only the control surfaces of the generator. Keep children away from the generator at all times. They may not be able to recognize the hazards of this product.
ASSEMBLY OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR Read this manual. Do not attempt to operate equipment until you have read this Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions. NOTE: This manual is a general manual. Information in this manual may or may not pertain to your model. Please read carefully. NOTE: Left and right describes the location of a part with the operator facing the outlet panel. There are basically 2 ways to obtain electricity from a generator: 1.
OPERATION KNOW YOUR GENERATOR IDLE CONTROL Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before operation of your Generator. Compare the illustration in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location and use of various controls. Save all manuals for future references. Choose the correct application. 1. For normal application such as power tools, small electric appliances, light bulbs, and radios: Place the idle control switch in the ON position.
BEFORE START UP Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank. This generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine. Always check engine oil level before every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil could result in serious damage to the engine. Follow the steps listed below before starting generator: 1. Check engine oil.
TO START THE ENGINE STOPPING ENGINE 1. Disconnect all electrical loads. 2. Move the ON/OFF switch to "OFF" position. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. 1. Open the fuel shut-off valve on tank and engine. 3. Close fuel shut-off valves. 2. Move the choke control located on the engine to "CHOKE" position. CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines.
CONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR RAISING OR SUSPENDING GENERATORS (H650CS) 1. Route cable, chain, or strap through both lift rings as shown. ALWAYS use both lift rings when raising or suspending generator. NOTE: Make sure the generator is in a level position before raising or suspending to prevent damage. Failure to properly connect lifting cables, chains, or straps can cause property damage, serious injury or death, and void the manufacturer's warranty. Always use cables, chains, or straps rated at 2000 lbs.
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or operated in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the generator head.
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. 1. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool. 2. There are two types of electrical appliances that can be powered by your generator: A. B. C. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS 2. To determine the approximate starting wattage requirement for most appliances and tools with inductive type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capacity. If the nameplate information is not available use the values on the following chart as a guide. STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. Some appliances and tools will list on the motor name plate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM Engine will not start CAUSE CORRECTION 1. Low on fuel or oil. 1. Add fuel or oil. 2. Ignition switch in "Off" position. 2. Turn to "ON" position 3. Faulty spark plug. 3. Replace spark plug. 4. Choke in wrong position. 4. Adjust choke accordingly. 5. Fuel shut-off valve in closed position. 5. Open fuel shut-off valve. 6. Unit loaded during start-up. 6. Remove load from unit. 7. Spark plug wire loose. 7. Attach wire to spark plug. 1. Faulty receptacle. 1.
Generator Quick Facts CALL 1-888-559-8550 TO FIND A LOCAL AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER NEAR YOU FOR REPAIRS AND SERVICE PART PURCHASES ENGINE GAS ENGINE OIL WATTAGE WIRING Use clean, fresh gasoline with a minimum 87 octane rating. Do not add gasoline during or immediately after use. Refer to engine owner's manual for oil recommendations. Most generators are equipped with a low-oil shutdown. If the oil is low or if the Generator is not level, the engine will not start. Make wattage calculations before use.
