SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use symbols to the right. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. URGENT SAFETY INFORMATION - A HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. Information for preventing damage to equipment.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND FIRE (cont’d) WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Operation of generator in rain, wet, icy, or flooded conditions. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water which comes in contact with electrically charged components can transmit electricity to the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to anyone contacting them. Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF FIRE HAZARD WHAT COULD HAPPEN Attempting to fill the fuel tank while Gasoline and gasoline vapors can the engine is running. become ignited by coming in contact with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from an electrical spark. HOW TO PREVENT IT 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 HAZARD Fire, Inhalation, Damage to Vehicle Surfaces WHAT COULD HAPPEN 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 WHAT COULD HAPPEN Operation of generator in careless All sources of energy include the potential for injury. Unsafe operation or maintemanner. nance of your generator could lead to serious injury or death to you or others. Operation of voltage sensitive appliances without a voltage surge protector.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE GENERATOR. RISK OF MOVING PARTS HAZARD Contact with moving parts can result in serious injury. WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT The generator contains parts which rotate at high speed during operation. These parts are covered by guarding to prevent injury. Never operate generator with guarding or cover plates removed. Avoid wearing loose fitting clothing or jewelry which could be caught by moving parts.
ASSEMBLY TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF BATTERY ● Recommended Battery for Electric Start: 12V - 45 A H. or 210 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) ● Purchase battery and battery hardware separately, not included with unit. 1. Place battery in rack with terminals facing towards generator head. 2. Place battery bracket (A) over battery as shown in Figure 3 (opposite battery terminals). Read this manual. Do not attempt to operate equipment until you have read this Manual for Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions.
OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR Lawn & Garden batteries can come in two terminal configurations. The Positive (+) and Negative (-) terminals can be oriented so that they are +/- or -/+. See Figure 5. In the unlikely event that the battery terminals are unmarked, we recommend that you return the battery to the retailer for exchange for a properly marked battery or let an authorized service center install the battery for you. Failure to connect the battery properly can possibly cause bodily injury.
OPERATION KNOW YOUR 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. 2. 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. IMPORTANT: Make sure the battery is properly serviced, fully charged, and assembled before starting. Always check engine oil level before every start.
STOPPING ENGINE 3. Connect the lights next. 4. Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment connected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator. 1. Disconnect all electrical loads. 2. Turn OFF/RUN/START switch to "OFF" position. 3. Close fuel shut-off valve. CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS 1.
MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES TABLE Before each use Every 25 Hours or Every Season Every 50 Hours or Every Season Every 100 Hours or Every Season MAINTENANCE TASK See Note 2 X Check oil level See Note 1 Change oil 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. Battery To prevent sparks, disconnect the black battery cable from the negative (-) terminal before disconnecting the red positive cable.
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. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS 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. (Example: a 100 watt light bulb requires only 100 watts to start.

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 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. ENGINE OIL 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. WATTAGE WIRING Make wattage calculations before use.
