BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Add Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in the
future, use only high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SG, SF/CC, CD. Select the oil’s viscosity
grade according to your expected operating temperature:
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general all temperature
use. Multi-viscosity oils (10W30, etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, but these oils will result in increased oil
consumption. Check your engine oil level more frequently
to avoid possible damage from running low on oil.
To Add Engine Oil:
Place the generator on a level surface.
Remove the oil fill cover.
Remove oil filler cap and wipe dipstick clean (Figure 1).
If the oil level is not at the point of overflowing from the
oil filler neck, slowly fill engine with recommended oil.
Reinstall oil filler cap and tighten securely.
Replace the oil fill cover.
Check the engine oil level before starting each time
thereafter.
Add Fuel
WARNING! NEVER fill fuel tank indoors. NEVER
fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Allow unit
to cool for two minutes before refueling. DO NOT
light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
WARNING! DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
Use clean fresh UNLEADED fuel with a pump rating of
86 or higher. DO NOT use premium or leaded fuel. DO
NOT mix oil with fuel.
Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
Check the fuel level.
If fuel level is low, slowly add recommended fuel to fuel
tank, up to the shoulder of the fuel strainer (Figure 2).
Be careful not to overfill (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck).
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt,
rust, or other particulate matter.
Install fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
Occasionally you may hear a light “spark knock” or
“pinging” (metallic rapping noise) while operating under
heavy loads. This is no cause for concern. If spark knock or
pinging occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load,
change brands of fuel or obtain a higher octane rated fuel.
If pinging or spark knock persists, see your local Briggs &
Stratton repair center.

GROUNDING THE
GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is
provided on the generator housing (Figure 3).
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut
and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical
shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after
connecting the stranded copper wire. However, local codes
may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for
grounding requirements in your area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical
shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or
in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
CAUTION! NEVER start or stop the engine with
electrical loads connected to the unit and with the
connected devices turned ON.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
Be sure the spark plug wire is attached to the spark plug.
Turn the fuel valve to the “Open” position (fully
clockwise) (Figure 4).
Slide the choke lever to the “Choke” position (all the
way to the right) (Figure 5).
Place the engine switch in the “On” position (Figure 6).
Grasp starter grip and slowly pull the rope until you feel
some resistance, then pull the cord out with a rapid full
arm stroke. Let rope return slowly. DO NOT let rope
“snap back” against the unit.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls, but fails to run for
more than 10 seconds, check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit is equipped with a Oil Alert System
(see page 8).
Slide the choke lever left to the “Run” position as the
engine warms up.
NOTE: Under no load conditions, the engine speed may
vary slightly faster or slower until engine temperatures
stabilize.
CAUTION! Breathing Hazard! NEVER run
engine in enclosed poorly ventilated areas. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and
deadly gas.
Connecting Electrical Loads
Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles.
DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60 Hertz electrical loads.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. See “Don’t
Overload the Generator” on page 10.
Stopping the Engine
Unplug all electrical loads from the unit. NEVER start or
stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned
on.
Let engine run at no–load for two minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures.
Move engine switch to the “Off” position.
Turn the fuel valve to the “Close” position (fully
counterclockwise).
NOTE: In an emergency, stop the engine by moving the
engine switch to the “Off” position.
Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert System is designed to prevent engine damage
caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase.
Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe
limit, the Oil Alert System will automatically shut down the
engine (the engine switch will remain in the “On” position).
If the Oil Alert System shuts down the engine, add engine
oil.
Charging a Battery
WARNING! Storage batteries emit explosive gas
while charging that remains around a battery for a
long time after it has been charged. The slightest
spark can ignite the gas, causing an explosion that
can shatter the battery and cause blindness or
other injury.
WARNING! DO NOT permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or any other source of heat around a
battery. DO NOT use a lighter or other flame for
checking battery fluid levels. Wear protective
goggles, rubber apron and rubber gloves when
working around a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is
an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
cause severe burns. DO NOT permit fluid contact
with eyes, skin, clothing, etc. If spill occurs, flush
area with clear water immediately.
Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO
NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT
use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
If necessary, clean battery posts or terminals.
Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
Connect battery charge cable connector plug to the
12 Volt DC panel receptacle.
Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to
battery post or terminal indicated by Positive, POS or
(+) (Figure 7).
900W Generator

Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle
to battery post or terminal indicated by Negative,
NEG, or () (Figure 7).
Start generator. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
When battery has charged, shut down engine (see
“Stopping The Engine”)
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific
gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or
higher.
CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle
Each outlet socket is protected against overload by a
7.5 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle
to operate 120 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 1,000 watts (1.0 kW) of power (Figure 8).
CAUTION! Although each receptacle is rated
for 120 Volts at 15 Amps (1,440 watts or 1.44 kW),
the generator is rated for a total of 1,000 watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of
the generator can damage it or cause serious
injuries. The total of loads powered through these
receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle allows you to recharge a 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery
charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns,
fans, or other 12 Volt devices having a cigarette lighter-type
plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 9).
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine having a discharged battery.
See “Charging a Battery” (page 8) before attempting to
recharge a battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality, well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator’s 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Such cords should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at
15 Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices. Some
devices, however, may not require this type of extension
cord. Check the owner’s manuals of those devices for their
recommendations.
Keep extension cords as short as possible, preferably less
than 15 feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.

DON'T OVERLOAD YOUR
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. See Figure 10.
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
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.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS
The generator warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All adjustments in this section should be made at least
once each season. Follow the requirements in the
“Maintenance Schedule” chart shown below in Figure 11.
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.

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 engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters 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.
To Clean the Generator
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
Soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt
or oil.
CAUTION! NEVER insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator. These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
WARNING! When working on the generator
always disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug
and keep it away from spark plug.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Checking Oil Level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
Changing Engine Oil
Change the oil after the first month of operation, then
every 25 hours. If you are using your generator under
extremely dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot
weather, change the oil more often.
Change the oil while the engine is still warm from running,
as follows:
Remove the oil fill cover and clean area around oil drain
plug (Figure 12).
Remove oil drain plug, sealing washer, and oil filler cap.
Drain oil completely into a suitable container.
Install oil drain plug and sealing washer. Tighten securely.
Refill with recommended oil and check the level. See
page 6 for oil recommendations.
Wipe up any spilled oil.
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. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES.
RETURN USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.
Replace oil fill cover.
Clean/Replace Spark Plug
Check and clean the spark plug every 50 hours of
operation or every three months, whichever comes first.
This will help your engine to start easier and run better.
Remove spark plug access cover. Remove spark plug cap.
Clean the area around the spark plug.
Remove and inspect the spark plug.
Replace the spark plug if electrodes are pitted or burned
or the porcelain is cracked. Use recommended plug for
replacement.
Check electrode gap with wire feeler gauge and set spark
plug gap between 0.028 and 0.031 inch (0.7 to 0.8 mm) if
necessary (Figure 13).

Reinstall spark plug.
Service Air Cleaner
Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if
you run it using a dirty air filter element.
Check the air filter every use and clean or replace the
paper air filter element every 50 hours of operation or
every three months, whichever comes first. Clean or
replace more often if operating under dusty or dirty
conditions.
To clean or replace air filter element:
Loosen the air cleaner cover screws, remove the air
cleaner cover, and remove the element (see item
number 4, exploded view on page 22.
Wipe clean the inside of the filter housing and cover
thoroughly.
Wash the element in a solution of household detergent
and warm water, then rinse thoroughly. Or wash in
nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the
element to dry thoroughly.
Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out the
excess oil. DO NOT twist. The engine will smoke during
initial start-up if too much oil is left in the element.
NOTE: If you need to order a new air filter element,
please call 1-800-743-4115.
Reinstall the air cleaner element and the cover. Hand
tighten the air cleaner cover screws.
Clean Spark Arrester Screen
The engine muffler is equipped with a removable spark
arrester screen. Inspect and clean the screen every
10 hours of operation or every three months, as shown in
Figure 14:
Loosen the screw on the muffler tail pipe and remove
the spark arrester screen.
Use a brass or stiff-bristle brush to remove carbon
deposits from the spark arrester surface.
Inspect the spark arrester for breaks or tears and
replace it if necessary.
NOTE: If you need to order a new spark arrester, please
call 1-800-743-4115.
Install the clean screen in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE: If you use your generator on any forest-covered,
brush-covered or grass-covered unimproved land, it must
have a spark arrester installed. The spark arrester must be
maintained in good condition by the owner/operator.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Transporting and Storage
When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch
to “Off” and the fuel valve to “Close”. Keep the generator
level to prevent fuel spillage.
WARNING! Contact with a hot engine or
exhaust system can cause serious burns or fires. Let
the engine cool before transporting or storing the
generator.
Take care to not drop or strike the generator when
transporting. DO NOT place heavy objects on the
generator.
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 guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions
WARNING! NEVER store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas
where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer or other gas appliance.
Be sure the storage area is free from excessive
humidity and dust.
One Month to One Year
Drain the carburetor float bowl (see following section) and
fuel tank into a suitable container. After removal from
storage, fill with fresh fuel before starting.
More than One Year
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, experience indicates
that 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 problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow these
instructions:
Protect Fuel System
WARNING! Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure engine is
cool. DO NOT smoke.
Drain carburetor float bowl and fuel tank into a suitable
container by loosening the drain screw (Figure 15).
Retighten drain screw before refueling.
Change Oil
While engine is still warm, change oil as described on
page 12. Refill with recommended grade.
Oil Cylinder Bore
Remove spark plug and pour about one tablespoon of
clean engine oil into the cylinder.
CAUTION! Avoid spray from spark plug hole
when cranking engine slowly.
Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank slowly several
times to distribute oil.
Install spark plug. DO NOT connect spark plug wire.
Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance is felt. At this
point, the piston is coming up on its compression stroke
and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it
from internal corrosion.
Generator
Clean the generator as outlined on page 12 (“To Clean
the Generator”).
Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
Other Storage Tips
DO NOT store fuel from one season to another.
Replace the fuel can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel will cause problems.
If possible, store your unit indoors. BE SURE TO
EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.
Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.
IMPORTANT: NEVER cover your generator while engine
and exhaust area are warm.
Store generator in clean, dry area.
