WARNING

OPERATION

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. See Figure 7.

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 = 1075

Highest Additional Surge Watts = 500

Total Generator Output Required = 1575

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 Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that

all periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely

basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit

is kept clean and properly stored. NEVER operate a

damaged or defective generator.

NOTE: Should you have questions about replacing

components on your Briggs & Stratton Power Products

generator, please call 1-800-743-4115 for assistance.

Engine Maintenance

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T

POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN

USED OIL TO COLLECTION CENTERS.

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.

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.

Generator Cleaning

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

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

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

• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow

away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on

generator. These openings must be kept clean and

unobstructed.

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

certain laboratory animals.

• Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water.

Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used

motor oil.

CAUTION

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

or corrosive vapors.

• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and

shorten its life.

CAUTION

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.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.

WARNING

STORAGE

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.

Generator Storage

• Clean the generator as outlined in “Generator Cleaning”.

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator

are open and unobstructed.

Engine Storage

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

Other Storage Tips

• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel

tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several

minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.

The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to

24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.

• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless

it has been treated as described above.

• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt

in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.

• Store unit in a clean and dry area.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ

• Faites fonctionner le générateur SEULEMENT à l'extérieur.

• Évitez que les gaz d'échappement entrent dans un espace restreint,

par une fenêtre, une porte, une prise d'aération ou toute autre

ouverture.

• NE FAITES PAS fonctionner le générateur à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment

ou d'un abri, y compris à l'intérieur du compartiment d'un véhicule de

plaisance.

Le générateur, lorsqu'il fonctionne, produit du monoxyde

de carbone, un gaz toxique inodore et incolore.

Le fait de respirer du monoxyde de carbone provoque

des nausées, des évanouissements ou peut être fatal.

AVERTISSEMENT

• Lorsque vous utilisez le générateur comme source d'énergie de

secours, il est nécessaire d'aviser les services publics d'électricité.

• NE touchez pas les fils dénudés ou les boîtiers.

• N'UTILISEZ pas le générateur avec des cordons électriques usés,

effilochés ou dénudés, ou abîmés de quelque sorte que ce soit.

• N'UTILISEZ pas le générateur sous la pluie.

• NE manipulez pas le générateur ou les cordons d'alimentation lorsque

vous êtes debout dans l'eau, pieds nus ou avec les mains ou les pieds

humides.

• NE laissez pas des personnes non qualifiées ou des enfants se servir

ou réparer le générateur.

Le générateur produit une tension élevée.

NE PAS isoler le générateur de l'installation électrique

risque de provoquer des blessures ou même d'être fatal

pour les ouvriers électriciens et de causer des dommages

au générateur dus à un "backfeed" d'énergie électrique.

AVERTISSEMENT

• Cette génératrice ne satisfait pas aux normes U. S. Coast Guard

Regulation 33CFR-183 et ne doit pas être utilisée pour des

applications marines.

• L'omission d'utiliser une génératrice appropriée et approuvée par U.

S. Coast Guard pourrait entraîner des blessures corporelles ou des

dommages matériels.

AVERTISSEMENT

LORS DE L'AJOUT OU DE LA VIDANGE DU

CARBURANT

• Éteignez le générateur et laissez-le refroidir au moins 2 minutes avant

de retirer le capuchon du réservoir de carburant. Desserrez lentement

le capuchon pour laisser la pression s'échapper du réservoir.

• Remplissez ou vidangez le réservoir d'essence à l'extérieur.

• NE REMPLISSEZ PAS trop le réservoir. Laissez l'expansion de

l'essence.

• Éloignez l'essence des étincelles, des flammes, des veilleuses, de la

chaleur et de toute autre source d'inflammation.

• N'ALLUMEZ PAS de cigarette ou ne fumez pas à proximité de l'appareil.

LORS DU DÉMARRAGE DE L'ÉQUIPEMENT

• Assurez-vous que la bougie d'allumage, le silencieux, le bouchon à

essence et le filtre à air sont en place.

• NE démarrez PAS le moteur lorsque la bougie d'allumage est enlevée.

• Si du carburant est renversé, attendez qu'il s'évapore avant de

démarrer le moteur.

LORSQUE L'ÉQUIPEMENT FONCTIONNE

• NE penchez PAS le moteur ou l'équipement, vous risqueriez de

renverser de l'essence.

• Cette génératrice n'est pas conçue pour être utilisée dans de

l'équipement mobile ou les applications marines.

LORSQUE VOUS TRANSPORTEZ OU RÉPAREZ

L'ÉQUIPEMENT

• Le réservoir d'essence doit être VIDE ou le robinet d'arrêt de

carburant doit être à la position fermée (OFF) pendant le transport

ou la réparation.

• Débranchez le câble de bougie.

LORSQUE VOUS ENTREPOSEZ L'ESSENCE OU UN

ÉQUIPEMENT AVEC UN RÉSERVOIR À ESSENCE

• Entreposez-le loin des appareils de chauffage, des fours, des chauffe-

eau, des sécheuses ou de tout autre appareil électroménager

disposant d'une veilleuse ou de toute autre source d'inflammation

risquant d'enflammer les vapeurs d'essence.

L'essence et ses vapeurs sont extrêmement

inflammables et explosives.

Le feu ou l'explosion risque de provoquer des

blessures graves, pouvant être fatales.

AVERTISSEMENT

• Ne laissez aucune flamme, étincelle, source de chaleur ou cigarette

allumée pendant ou plusieurs minutes suivant la charge de

l'accumulateur.

• Portez des lunettes de protection, un tablier et des gants en caoutchouc.

Les batteries d'accumulateur produisent du gaz

hydrogène explosif lorsqu'elles se rechargent.

Le gaz hydrogène stagne autour de la batterie

longtemps après qu'elle ait été chargée.

La plus petite étincelle enflammera l'hydrogène et

provoquera une explosion.

Vous pouvez devenir aveugle ou vous blesser gravement.

Le liquide d'électrolyte de l'accumulateur contient de

l'acide et est extrêmement caustique.

Le contact avec le liquide de l'accumulateur

provoquera de graves brûlures chimiques.

DANGER

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ

• NE TRAFIQUEZ PAS la vitesse régulée. Le générateur produit une

fréquence nominale et une tension correctes lorsqu'il fonctionne à

une vitesse régulée.

• NE modifiez le générateur d'aucune façon.

Les vitesses de fonctionnement excessivement élevées

augmentent les risques de blessure ou risquent d'endommager

le générateur.

Les vitesses extrêmement lentes entraînent une charge importante.

ATTENTION

• Voir la section " Ne Pas Surcharger Générateur ".

• Démarrez le générateur et laissez le moteur se stabiliser avant de

brancher les charges électriques.

• Branchez les charges électriques en position ARRÊT, puis, remettez

en position MARCHE.

• Éteignez les charges électriques et débranchez-les du générateur avant

de l'arrêter.

Dépasser la capacité de puissance ou d'ampérage du

générateur risque d'endommager ce dernier et/ou les autres

appareils électriques qui y sont branchés.

ATTENTION

• NE vous servez du générateur que pour les utilisations prévues.

• Si vous avez des questions concernant les utilisations prévues,

demandez à votre distributeur ou appelez 1-800-743-4115.

• Ne faites fonctionner le générateur que sur des surfaces horizontales.

• N'EXPOSEZ pas le générateur à une humidité excessive, à de la

poussière, à de la saleté ou à des vapeurs corrosives.

• N'INSÉREZ aucun objet dans les fentes de refroidissement.

• Si les appareils branchés sont en surchauffe, éteignez-les et

débranchez-les du générateur.

• Arrêtez le générateur si :

-la puissance électrique est inexistante;

-l'équipement produit des étincelles, de la fumée ou des flammes;

-l'unité vibre excessivement.

Un traitement inapproprié du générateur risque de

l'endommager et de raccourcir sa durée d'utilisation.

ATTENTION

LORSQUE VOUS RÉGLEZ OU RÉPAREZ VOTRE

GÉNÉRATEUR

• Débranchez toujours le câble de bougie et placez-le de façon à ce

qu'il ne soit pas en contact avec la bougie.

LORS DE TESTS D'ALLUMAGE DU MOTEUR

• Utilisez un vérificateur de bougies d'allumage approuvé.

• NE vérifiez PAS l'allumage lorsque la bougie d'allumage est enlevée.

Unintentional peut résulter dans feu ou électrique.

AVERTISSEMENT

• NE TOUCHEZ PAS les surfaces chaudes.

• Laissez l'équipement refroidir avant de le toucher.

• La génératrice ne doit pas se trouver à moins de 152,4 cm (5 pi) de

toute structure comportant des murs combustibles et/ou les autres

matériels combustibles.

• Laissez un dégagement d'au moins 1 m (3 pi) tout autour de l'enceinte

de la génératrice pour permettre une ventilation adéquate et un

espace suffisant pour sa maintenance et son entretien.

• Dans l'état de Californie un pare-étincelles est requis par la loi

(section 4442 du Code des ressources publiques de Californie).

D'autres états ont des lois similaires. Les lois fédérales s'appliquent

aux terres fédérales. Si vous équipez le silencieux d'un pare-étincelles,

il doit être en bon état de fonctionnement.

Les moteurs en fonctionnement produisent de la chaleur.

La température du silencieux et des endroits à proximité

peuvent atteindre, voire dépasser 150°F (65°C).

Le contact de ces pièces risque de causer de graves brûlures.

Des débris dans le combustible tels que feuilles, gazon,

broussailles, etc. peuvent s'enflammer.

AVERTISSEMENT

• Lors du démarrage du moteur, tirez lentement sur la corde jusqu'à ce

que vous sentiez une résistance et tirez alors rapidement afin d'éviter

un effet de recul.

• NE démarrez JAMAIS ni n'arrêtez jamais le moteur alors que des

appareils électriques y sont branchés et en fonction.

Une rétroaction rapide de la corde du démarreur

(effet de recul) tirera votre main et votre bras vers le

moteur plus rapidement que vous ne pouvez relâcher

la corde.

Vous risquez ainsi de subir des fractures, des

ecchymoses ou des entorses.
