GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES For any questions regarding the hazard and safety notices listed in this manual or on the product, please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST before using the generator. DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the exhaust, you could be breathing CO.
GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES WARNING: This generator produces heat when running. Temperatures near exhaust can exceed 1500 F (650 C). Do not touch hot surfaces. Pay attention to warning labels on the generator identifying hot parts of the machine. Allow generator to cool down after use before touching engine or areas of the generator that become hot during use. CAUTION: Misuse of this generator can damage it or shorten its life. Only use generator for its intended purposes.
GENERATOR COMPONENTS Use the illustrations below to become familiar with the locations and functions of the various components and controls of this generator.
ASSEMBLY In order to best protect the generator while in the package, this product comes with some components disassembled. Please complete the following assembly steps before proceeding to use the generator. For ease of assembly, we recommend attaching the components in the order listed in this manual. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps, please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST for customer service. WARNING: This generator is heavy.
ASSEMBLY ATTACH HANDLES The handles attach to the generator frame on the same side as the recoil starter (left side when facing control panel). To attach the handles to the generator frame, perform the following steps: 1. Take one handle bracket and line up the holes in the handle bracket with the holes on the generator frame. 2. Slide two bolts through the holes in the handle bracket and generator frame to hold the handle onto the frame. 3. Secure the bolt in place with a nut. Handle Bracket 4.
GENERATOR PREPARATION USING THE GENERATOR FOR THE FIRST TIME The following section describes steps necessary to prepare the generator for use. If after reading this section, you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST for customer service. Failure to perform these steps properly can damage the generator or shorten its life. Step 1 - ADD OIL The generator is shipped without oil.
GENERATOR PREPARATION Step 2 - ADD GASOLINE WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to explosion even if not directly in contact with gasoline. Use fresh (within 30 days from purchase), lead-free gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane rating. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Fuel tank capacity: 8 Gallons To add gasoline, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the generator is on a level surface.
GENERATOR PREPARATION STEP 4 – CONNECT THE BATTERY Battery: 12V DC 18AH WARNING: Battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. • • • Keep battery away from spark, flame, or cigarette. Do not connect or disconnect battery while generator is running. Service or use battery only in well ventilated areas. WARNING: Battery contains sulfuric acid. Battery acid is poisonous. Tilting the generator with the battery installed can cause battery acid to spill.
STARTING THE GENERATOR Before starting the generator, make sure you have read and performed the steps in the “Generator Preparation” section of this manual. If you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps in this manual please call (800)232-1195 M-F 8-5 CST for customer service. DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO). This is a poison gas you cannot see or smell.
STARTING THE GENERATOR STARTING THE ENGINE To start the generator, perform the following steps: 1. Make sure no electrical devices are connected to the generator. Such devices can make it difficult for the engine to start. 2. Check that the generator is properly grounded (see Figure 3, “Ground the Generator”). 3. Check the oil and gas levels. 4. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” position (Figure 4). 5. Pull the choke rod to the “Start” position. 6. Set the engine switch to the “ON” position. 7.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR TO STOP THE GENERATOR 1. Turn off all electrical devices prior to unplugging them from the generator. Unplugging running devices can cause damage to the generator. 2. Turn the “ON/OFF” switch to the “OFF” position. 3. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” (horizontal) position. WARNING: Allow the generator to cool for several minutes before touching areas that become hot during use.
SUBSEQUENT STARTING OF THE GENERATOR WARNING: This generator may emit highly flammable and explosive gasoline vapors, which can cause severe burns or even death if ignited. A nearby open flame can lead to an explosion even if it is not directly in contact with fuel. • Do not operate near open flames. • Do not smoke near the generator. • Always operate on a firm, level surface. • Always turn the generator off before refueling. Allow generator to cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel cap.
USING THE GENERATOR WARNING: When this generator is used on a building’s wiring system, the generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and connected to a transfer switch as a separately derived system in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator shall be connected to a transfer switch that switches all conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding electrode.
USING THE GENERATOR CAUTION: The generator can run at its surge wattage capacity for only a short time. Connect electrical devices requiring a rated (running) wattage equal to or less than the rated wattage of the generator. Never connect devices requiring a rated wattage equal to the surge wattage of the generator. This can trip the circuit protectors (circuit breakers).
USING THE GENERATOR HOUR METER SOME NOTES ABOUT POWER CORDS Long or thin cords can drain the power provided to an electrical device by the generator. When using such cords, allow for a slightly higher rated wattage requirement by the electrical device. See Figure 8 for recommended cords based on the power requirement of the electrical device. Device Requirements Amps Watts (120V) 2.5 300 5 600 7.5 900 10 1200 15 1800 *NR = Not Recommended #8 wire NR NR NR NR NR Max.
MAINTENANCE & CARE Proper routine maintenance of the generator will help prolong the life of the machine. Please perform maintenance checks and operations according to the schedule in Figure 9. If there are any questions about the maintenance procedures listed in this manual, please call (800) 232-1195 M-F 8-5CST. CAUTION: Never perform maintenance operations while the generator is running.
MAINTENANCE & CARE CHANGING/ADDING OIL Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule in Figure 9. Change the oil when the engine is warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become contaminated with water or dirt. The oil capacity of the generator engine is 50.7 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil level is low.
MAINTENANCE & CARE FUEL FILTER CUP CLEANING The fuel filter cup is a small well underneath the fuel valve. It helps to trap dirt and water that may be in the fuel tank before it can enter the engine. To clean the fuel filter cup: 1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. 2. Unscrew the fuel filter cup from the fuel valve using a wrench. Turn the valve toward you and unscrew (See Figure 12). 3. Clean the cup of all sediments using a rag or brush. 4. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
MAINTENANCE & CARE DRAINING THE FUEL TANK Clean fuel tank each year or before storing the generator for extended periods of time. To drain the fuel tank and carburetor: 1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position. 2. Remove the fuel line between the fuel valve and carburetor. CAUTION: A small amount of fuel may leak from the hose during removal. 3. Attach a fuel line (not included with the generator) to the exposed end of the fuel valve. 4.
