4. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude

use, see High Altitude.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15%

MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE: Avoid generator damage.

Failure to follow Operator’s Manual for fuel

recommendations voids warranty.

• DO NOT use unapproved gasoline such as E85.

• DO NOT mix oil in gasoline.

• DO NOT modify engine to run on alternate fuels.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix in a fuel

stabilizer when adding fuel. See Storage. All fuel is not the

same. If you experience starting or performance problems

after using fuel, switch to a different fuel provider or change

brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The

emission control system for this engine is EM (Engine

Modifications).

1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2. Slowly add regular unleaded fuel (A) to fuel tank (B). Be

careful not to overfill. Allow at least 1.5" of tank space

3. Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate.

CAUTION! Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or

methanol) 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 storage.

To avoid engine performance issues, the fuel system should

be treated with a fuel preserver or emptied before storage of

30 days or longer. To protect the fuel system from gum

formation, use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® fuel

stabilizer plus, or FRESH START continuous fuel preserver

(concentrated liquid cartridge). If fuel preserver is not used,

drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

See Storage for additional information.

NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank as permanent damage may occur.

WARNING: Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WHEN ADDING FUEL

• Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in

tank.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors.

• DO NOT overfill tank. Allow space for fuel expansion.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

Fresh Start Fuel Cap

Adding fuel preserver helps keep fuel fresh and carburetors

clean for easier starting, all season long. This new fuel cap

automatically drips concentrated fuel preserver into your fuel

tank.

1. Place cartridge into fuel cap.

2. Push to “snap” cartridge into place.

3. Remove tab to expose membrane.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT remove the silver foil seal on the

opposite side of the cartridge.

4. Reinstall fuel cap on fuel tank.

5. Periodically check the cartridge to ensure there is still

fuel stabilizer inside. If it is empty, remove cartridge and

replace.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane / 85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To

remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operation without this adjustment will cause

decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and

increased emissions. See a qualified Sears dealer for high

altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at

altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

DANGER: Contents are harmful or fatal if swallowed.

Avoid contact to eyes, skin or clothing.

DO NOT take internally. Avoid breathing

the mist or vapor. Overexposure to eyes

or skin can cause irritation. Keep stabilizer out of the

reach of children.

The generator comes with a 25’ generator adapter cord set

designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt, 20 Amp outlets

from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.

The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The maximum

total load on both black wire outlets or white stripe wire outlets

is 20 Amps. If an extension cord is used with adapter cord set,

be sure extension cord is rated for 125V at 20 Amps.

NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any

extension cord or device to the generator.

WARNING:

Overloaded electrical cords can overheat,

arc, and burn resulting in death, bodily injury,

and/or property damage.

• ONLY use cords rated for your loads.

• Follow all safeties on electrical cords.

DON’T OVERLOAD GENERATOR

Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated

(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will

power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items. This is the

amount of power your generator must produce to keep

your items running.

3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.

Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to

start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a

circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start

at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by

adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge

watts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Example:

Total Rated (Running) Watts = 3075

Highest Additional Surge Watts = 1800

Total Generator Output Required = 4875

NOTE: The rated (running) watts cannot exceed 5600. Also,

given the 5600 watt rated limit, additional surge (starting)

watts cannot exceed 8600.

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, it

is important to take care when adding electrical loads to your

generator. There should be nothing connected to the

generator outlets before starting it's engine. The correct and

safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add

loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the

engine as described in this manual.

2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest

load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs

smoothly and attached device operates properly).

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity. Take

special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity, as

described above.

*Wattages listed are approximate only. Check tool or

appliance for actual wattage.

ENGINE TECHNICAL INFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, overhead valve(OHV), air cooled

engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model Series 200000 engines are

certified by the California Air Resources Board to meet

emissions standards for 250 hours. Such certification does

not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any

additional warranties with respect to the performance or

operational life of this engine. The engine is warranted solely

according to the product and emissions warranties stated

elsewhere in this manual.

Power Ratings

The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is

labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive

Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque

Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been

obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995

(Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM;

horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross

engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other

things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine

variability. Given both the wide array of products on which

engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues

applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not

develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of

power equipment (actual "on-site" or net power). This

difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not

limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging,

cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations,

ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,

altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to

manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton

may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this

Series engine.

This generator is rated and certified to be compliant with CSA

(Canadian Standards Association) standard C22.2 No. 100-04

(motors and generators).

SPECIFICATIONS

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs

first. More frequent service is required when operating in

adverse conditions noted below.

Service more often under dirty or dusty conditions.

General Recommendations

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and

extend the life of the generator. See a Sears or other qualified

dealer for service.

The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have

been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain

generator as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to

properly maintain your generator.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once

each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance

Schedule chart above.

NOTE: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark

plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air

filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run

better and last longer.

Emissions Control

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions con-

trol devices and systems may be performed by any non-

road engine repair establishment or individual. However,

to obtain ”no charge” emissions control service, the work

must be performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the

Emissions Warranty.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and

dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment

where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture

or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator

must not become clogged with snow, leaves, or any other

foreign material.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean

when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are

visible on its exterior surface.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator. Water

can enter the engine fuel system and cause problems. In

addition, if water enters the generator through cooling air

slots, some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks

of the rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt

buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually

decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

Generator Cleaning

Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from

generator. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area

around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator.

These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.

Generator parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of

overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

NOTICE:

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and

shorten its life.

• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or

corrosive vapors.

• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.

StatStation™

The StatStation™ displays the nominal load on generator

based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance

reminder.

Wattage Monitor Operation

The display is two seven-segment LEDs that provide an easy-

to-read indication of the amount of power being supplied by

the generator. The load monitor displays the generator’s

output as a percentage.

As generator load increases, the display values will increase.

When the displayed values begin flashing, the user should

stop adding electrical loads to the generator.

If the power usage becomes too high, the letters “OL” (for

Over Load) will flash on the display. The user should reduce

the amount of load attached to the generator.

Maintenance Reminder

The LED will display certain codes to alert you to check oil,

change oil, check or replace air filter and check or replace

spark plug. The following codes will display:

“C1” Check oil at 8 hour increments

“C2” Change oil at 50 hour increments

“C3” Check or replace air filter at 25 hour increments

“C4” Check or replace spark plug at 100 hour increments

To take advantage of the StatStation “maintenance reminder”

capabilities, the user must press the reset button after

completing the maintenance called for in the displayed code

(C1, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of “Co” or “CA”,

depending on how long the button is pressed:

1) “Co” - Pressing the reset button once quickly will display

"Co" (clearing to zero). This will clear any maintenance

codes that have elapsed up to that point and they will

begin timing again from zero.

2) “CA” - Pressing and holding the reset button for

2 seconds will display "CA" (clearing all). This clears all

maintenance codes, even if they have not yet reached

their service point, and they will begin timing again from

zero.

If nominal load and maintenance codes appear

simultaneously, the LED shall display, alternately, the

nominal load and code as follows:

The code will display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The

load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Oil

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty

Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality

detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF, SG,

SH, SJ or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for

the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the

outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil

consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

NOTE: Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API

certification mark and API service symbol with

“SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an

acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic oil

does not alter required oil change intervals.

WARNING: Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR

• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place

the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

Checking Oil Level

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every

8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap.

3. Verify oil is at the point of overflowing at oil fill opening.

4. Replace and tighten oil fill cap.

Adding Engine Oil

1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2. Check oil level as described in Checking Oil Level.

3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the point

of overflowing at oil fill.

4. Replace and tighten oil fill cap.

Service Air Cleaner

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you

run it with a dirty air cleaner. Replace more often if operating

under dirty or dusty conditions.

To service the air cleaner, follow these steps:

1. Loosen screws (A) and remove air cleaner cover (B).

2. Carefully remove cartridge (C) from base (D).

3. Install clean (or new) air cleaner assembly inside cover.

If you are using your generator under extremely dirty or

dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change the oil

more often.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T

POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN

USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm from running, as

follows:

1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and

place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

3. Clean area around oil drain plug. The oil drain plug is

located at base of engine, opposite carburetor.

4. Remove oil drain plug and drain oil completely into a

suitable container.

5. Reinstall oil drain plug and tighten securely. Remove oil

fill cap.

6. Slowly pour recommended oil (about 28 oz.) into oil fill

opening to the point of overflowing at oil fill cap.

7. Reinstall oil fill cap. Finger tighten cap securely.

8. Wipe up any spilled oil.

9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.

Clean/Replace Spark Plug

Changing the spark plug will help your engine to start easier

and run better.

1. Clean area around spark plug.

2. Remove and inspect spark plug.

3. Replace spark plug if electrodes are pitted, burned or

porcelain is cracked. Use a recommended replacement

plug. See Specifications.

4. Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and reset

spark plug gap to recommended gap if necessary (see

Specifications).

5. Install spark plug and tighten firmly.

NOTE: You can purchase a new spark plug by calling

1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663).

CAUTION: Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact

with used motor oil.

• Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain

laboratory animals.

• Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester

Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage.

Remove the spark arrester, if equipped, and inspect for dam-

age or carbon blockage. If replacement parts are required,

make sure to use only original equipement replacement

parts.

NOTE: You can purchase a new spark arrester screen by

calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663).

Clean and inspect the spark arrester as follows:

1. To remove muffler heat shield (A) from muffler (B),

remove four screws that connect guard to muffler

bracket.

2. Remove four screws that attach spark arrester screen (C).

3. Inspect screen and obtain a replacement if torn,

perforated or otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a

defective screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with

commercial solvent.

4. Reattach screen and muffler guard.

Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and

cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For

this reason, we recommend you have a Sears or other

qualified service dealer clean the cooling system per

recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule). Equally

important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See

Generator Cleaning.

Check Valve Clearance

Regular valve clearance check and adjustment will improve

performance and extend engine life. This procedure cannot

be done without partial engine disassembly and the use of

special tools. For this reason we recommend that you have a

Sears or other qualified service dealer check and adjust valve

clearance at recommended intervals.

Carburetor Adjustment

The carburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped

with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve and governed idle, if

equipped. Governed idle and top speed have been set at the

factory. If adjustment is required, see a Sears or other

qualified service dealer.

WARNING: Contact with muffler area can result in

serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite

combustibles, structures or damage

fuel tank causing a fire.

• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

• Allow equipment to cool before touching.

• Keep at least 5 feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of

generator including overhead.

• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section

4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,

brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust

system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section

4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or

federal jurisdictions may have similar laws.

Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer

to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system

installed on this engine.

• Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same

position as the original parts.

CAUTION:

Excessively high operating speeds increase

risk of injury and damage to generator.

Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

• DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies

correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed

speed.

• DO NOT modify generator in any way.

STORAGE

GENERAL

The generator should be started at least once every seven

days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be

done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use

the following information as a guide to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in

essential fuel system parts, such as the carburetor, fuel filter,

fuel hose or tank during storage. Also, alcohol-blended fuels

(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,

which leads to separation and formation of acids during

storage. Acidic fuel can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage.

Protect Fuel System

Fuel Preserver:

Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel allowing at least 1.5" of tank

space for fuel expansion as shown on page 8, when using a

fuel preserver cartridge with the fresh start fuel cap. If only

partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration

during storage. Engine and fuel can be stored up to 6 months

with fuel preserver.

• Check level of fuel preserver cartridge. Fuel preserver is

dark in color.

• If cartridge is almost empty or empty, replace with a new

fuel preserver cartridge following the instructions in Fresh

Start Fuel Cap.

If fuel preserver is not used, remove all fuel from tank and

run engine until it stops from lack of fuel.

Change Oil

While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill

with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil.

Generator

1. Clean generator as outlined in Generator Cleaning.

2. Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator

are open and unobstructed.

Other Storage Tips

1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it

has been treated as described in Protect Fuel System.

2. Replace fuel can if it starts to rust. Contaminated fuel

will cause engine problems.

3. If possible, store unit indoors and cover it to give

protection from dust and dirt.

4. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not

retain moisture.

5. Store generator in clean, dry area.

WARNING: Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns

or death.

WHEN STORING FUEL OR EQUIPMENT WITH FUEL IN TANK

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers

or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source

because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WHEN DRAINING FUEL

• Turn generator OFF and let it cool at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in

tank.

• Drain fuel tank outdoors.

• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and

other ignition sources.

• DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke.

WARNING:

Storage covers can be flammable.

• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.

• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the cover

on the equipment.
