ASSEMBLY Read this manual. Do not attempt to operate equipment until you have read this Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions. 1. Lift the gas tank end of generator and slide 2x4 between generator and pallet as shown. The generator is too heavy to be lifted by one person. Obtain assistance from others before lifting. NOTE: Left and right describes the location of a part with the operator facing the outlet panel. UNPACKING 1. Locate the par_s car_on and set aside for later use. 2.
6. 7. 8. Lift other end of generator and place two 2x4s between generator and pallet as shown. On the muffler side of the engine, remove cap screws and flange nuts holding the heat shield to the frame. Reassemble cap screws, heat shield, wheel bracket, and flange nuts and as shown. Tighten securely. e, - Wire Tie 2. Connect black negative cable to negative (-) battery post. Tighten securely. NOTE: Make sure rubber boot is covering positive (+) battery terminal.
GROUNDING An extension cord that is hot to the touch is overloaded. Repair or replace damaged extension cords immediately. THE GENERATOR A grounding lug is supplied with the generator for use when required by local electrical ordinances. Refer to article 250 of the National Electrical Code to clarify any needed grounding information. Your local electric company or a certified electrician should be able to help you with this information.
OPERATION KNOW YOUR 2. GENERATOR 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 of various controls and adjustments. Save all manuals for future references. GENERATOR Idling down IS NOT recommend on large motors (refrigerators, freezers, etc) or voltage sensitive electronic equipment (computers, televisions, etc).
BEFORE START UP TO START THE ENGINE This generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Always check engine oil level before every start. Running engine low of oil or oat of oil could result in serious damage to the engine.
STOPPING 1. ENGINE 3. 4. Disconnect all electrical loads. 2. Turn OFF/RUN/START switch to "OFF" position. 3. Close fuel shut-off valve. CONNECTING 1. ELECTRICAL LOADS Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after star_ing with no electrical load. Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to equipment: 2. Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools.
MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES TABLE Before each use MAINTENANCE Every 25 Hours or Every Season Every 50 Hours or Every Season Every 100 Hours or Every Season TASK Check oil level X See Note 2 Change oil See Note 1 Clean Air Filter Assembly X Check Spark Plug Prepare Unit for Storage X Prepare unit for storage if it is to remain idle for more than 30 days.
STORAGE if you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage. Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generato_ Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. 1. Starting and running wattage requirements capacity to the appliance or tool. 2. There are two types of electrical appliances that can be powered by your generator: A. should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS STARTING 1, WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 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. 3, Remember that the starting and running wattage for resistive loads are the same.
