ances or equipment that are resistive loads (non-motor
starting), (example: TV, video game, light, radio).
• Off: Best when running a both inductive (motor-start-
ing loads) and resistive (non-motor starting loads),
especially when these loads are turning on and off
(example: RV, air conditioner, hairdryer).
Generator Status Lights
See Fig. F.
• Overload LED (red): Indicates system overload .
During motor starting it is normal for the overload LED
to illuminate for a few seconds. If LED stays illuminated
and the ready LED turns off, the engine will continue to
run without output power. Remove all applied loads
and determine if attached devices exceed recom-
mended output power. Check for faulty or shorted con-
nections. To restore electrical output, turn dial OFF to
reset. Start engine. If condition was corrected, the red
LED will not illuminate and electrical output will be
restored. Loads can be applied once the green LED illu-
minates. If the orange LED returns, contact a Service
Dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel hose or tank during storage. Alco-
hol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture, which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in stor-
age. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30 days or lon-
ger. See the Storage section. Never use engine or car-
buretor cleaner products in the fuel tank as

Grounding the Generator When In
Use
See Fig. I. The generator is equipped with an equipment
ground connecting the generator frame and the ground
terminals on the AC output outlets (see NEC 250.34 (A).
This allows the generator to be used as a portable with-
out grounding the frame of the generator as specified in
NEC 250.34.
• Neutral Floating
Fig. I
The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame
and from the AC outlet ground pin. Electrical devices
that require a grounded outlet pin connection will not
function if the outlet ground pin is not functional.
Know Generator Limits
Overloading a generator can result in damage to the
generator and connected electrical devices. Observe the
following to prevent overload:
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be
connected at one time. This total should NOT be greater
than the generator's wattage capacity.
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances, and
motors can be found on a data label or decal affixed to
the device.
• If the appliance, tool, or motor does not give wattage,
multiply volts times ampere rating to determine watts
(volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as induction types, require
about three times more watts of power for starting than
for running. This surge of power lasts only a few seconds
when starting such motors. Make sure to allow for high
starting wattage when selecting electrical devices to
connect to the generator:
1. Figure the watts needed to start the largest motor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other
connected loads.
Wattage Reference Guide is provided to assist in deter-
mining how many items the generator can operate at
one time.
NOTE: All figures are approximate. See data label on appli-
ance for wattage requirements.

extend engine/equipment life. Contact Customer Ser-
vice at 1-888-331-4569, or WWW.CRAFTSMAN.COM to
find a dealer for maintenance work to be performed.
Regular maintenance, replacement or repair of the emis-
sions control devices and systems may be performed by
any repair shop or person of the owner’s choosing. How-
ever, to obtain emissions control warranty service free of
charge, the work must be performed by a CRAFTSMAN
service dealer. See the emissions warranty.
NOTE: Call 1-888-331-4569 with questions about compo-
nent replacement.
Maintenance Schedule
Follow maintenance schedule intervals, whichever
occurs first according to use.

season as detailed in the following chart.
Preventive Maintenance
Dirt or debris can cause improper operation and equip-
ment damage. Clean generator daily or before each use.
Keep area around and behind muffler free from combus-
tible debris. Inspect all cooling air openings on genera-
tor.
WARNING: Personal injury. Do not insert any
object through the air cooling slots. Generator
can start at any time and could result in death,
serious injury, and unit damage. (000142a)
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.
• Use a vacuum to pick up loose dirt and debris.
