WARNING:
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-connected
equipment, National Electric Code does not require that the unit be
grounded. However, other methods of using the generator may re-
quire grounding to reduce the risk of shock or electrocution. Consult
a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having
jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances to find out if grounding is
needed in your situation before using the generator.
When grounding is required, the nut and ground terminal on the
frame are used to connect the generator to a suitable ground source.
The ground path should be made with #8 size wire. Connect the
terminal of the ground wire between the lock washer and the nut,
and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source that is in contact with
the soil for a minimum distance of 8 ft.
The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. If a steel or
iron rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in. di-
ameter and be listed as material for grounding. If a rock bottom is encountered before reaching a depth of 8 ft., drive
the ground rod in at an angle of up to 45°. If the rock bottom is again encountered, the rod can be buried in a trench
that is at least 30 in. deep. In all cases, the upper end of the grounding rod should either be flush with (or below) the
ground or must be otherwise protected from physical damage.
All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or
be “Double Insulated.”
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.
2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to
ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.
Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL
YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide
(CO), a poisonous 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.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawl-
spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels
of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using
a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply
enough fresh air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open
windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak
into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-
backup CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has
been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor.
You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below could result in electrocution, fire,
and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, which can cause death
or serious injury.
WARNING:
In some applications, National Electric Code requires gen-
erator to be grounded to an approved earth ground. Before
using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for
local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of
the generator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the generator
and batteries.
Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless the
generator and transfer switch have been properly installed
and the electrical output has been verified by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the generator power
from utility power and must comply with all applicable laws
and electrical codes.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this unit.
Do not start or operate the engine in a confined space, build-
ing, near open windows, or in other unventilated space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and extremely dangerous
gas, can cause unconsciousness or death.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet away.
Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while
barefoot.
Do not operate generator when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving parts and
all hot surfaces of the unit.
Do not touch bare wire or receptacles.
Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.
Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes and
drain fuel from the unit.
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the fuel
tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the generator.
Empty fuel tank, place the engine switch/fuel valve/choke
lever in the OFF position, and restrain the unit from moving
before transporting in a vehicle.
Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the generator
to catch any drips of fuel or lubricant when transporting.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with
care. It is highly flammable.
Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Position the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow to
cool for five minutes before refueling.
Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel
from escaping around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.
Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use
of the generator, inspect the generator as well as extension
cords and power supply cords connected to it for damage
resulting from vibration. Have damaged items repaired or
replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs or cords that show
signs of damage such as broken or cracked insulation or
damaged blades.
For power outages, permanently installed stationary gen-
erators are better suited for providing back-up power to
the home. Even a properly connected portable generator
can become overloaded. This may result in overheating or
stressing the generator components, possibly leading to
generator failure.
Use only recommended or equivalent replacement parts
and accessories and follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of any other parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock
or injury.
Maintain the unit per maintenance instructions in this Opera-
tor’s Manual.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, fuel
leaks, etc. Replace damaged parts.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DANGER:
Risk of fire and serious burns: Never remove fuel cap
when unit is running. Shut off engine and allow the unit
to cool at least five minutes. Remove cap slowly.
WARNING:
When this generator is used to supply a building
wiring system: generator must be installed by a quali-
fied electrician and connected to a transfer switch as
a separately derived system in accordance with NFPA
70, National Electrical Code. The generator shall be
connected through a transfer switch that switches all
conductors other than the equipment grounding con-
ductor. The frame of the generator shall be connected to
an approved grounding electrode. Failure to isolate the
generator from power utility can result in death or injury
to electric utility workers.
Do not use this generator to provide power for emergency
medical equipment or life support devices.
This generator has a neutral bonded condition. This
means the neutral conductor is electrically connected to
the frame of the machine.
Always use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detec-
tor when running the generator. If you begin to feel sick,
dizzy, or weak while using the generator, shut it off and
get to fresh air immediately. See a doctor. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Place the generator on a flat, stable surface with a slope
of no more than 4°.
Operate outdoors in a well-ventilated, well-lit area isolated
from working areas to avoid noise interference.
Operating the generator in wet conditions could result in
electrocution. Keep the unit dry.
Keep the generator a minimum of 3 feet away from all
types of combustible material.
Do not operate generator near hazardous material.
Do not operate generator at a gas or natural gas filling
station.
Do not touch the muffler or cylinder during or immediately
after use; they are HOT and will cause burn injury.
Do not allow the generator’s gas tank to overflow when
filling. Fill to 1 in. below the top neck of the gasoline tank
to allow for fuel expansion.
Do not smoke when filling the generator with gasoline.
Shut down the engine and allow to cool for five minutes
before adding gasoline or lubricant to the generator.
Do not remove the oil dipstick or the fuel tank cap when
the engine is running.

104°F with a relative humidity of 90% or less.
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from the
generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, always
have an additional load plugged into the generator if
solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
For outdoor use only.
NEVER ignore an automatic shutoff event. IF AUTOMATIC
SHUTOFF OCCURS – YOU MUST leave the area imme-
diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate
the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the
generator is located in an open, outdoor area. Always
point exhaust away from occupied structures. Never
run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a house
or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can lead
to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result in
death or serious personal injury.
The carbon monoxide sensor on this generator is not
designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas. It will
only activate due to the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present
in other areas.
The carbon monoxide shutoff feature on this generator
is not a substitute for safe generator practices. Always
operate the generator in open, outdoor areas, at least
20 feet away from occupied structures. Never operate the
generator in fully or partly enclosed areas or near open
windows, doors, or other unventilated spaces.
DO NOT tamper with, adjust, or modify the carbon mon-
oxide (CO) sensor module on your generator. Failure to
follow these instructions can cause the monitor to mal-
function which can result in death or serious personal
injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use

NOTICE:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all
electronic equipment should be checked prior to plug-
ging them into this generator. Damage may result if the
equipment is not designed to operate within a +/- 10%
voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz frequency variation from
the generator name plate ratings. To avoid damage, al-
ways have an additional load plugged into the generator
if solid state equipment (such as a television set) is used.
A power line conditioner is recommended for some solid
state applications.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
See Figure 1.
The 20 amp, 120 volt receptacles on the generator are
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
which guards against the hazards of ground fault currents.
An example of ground fault current is the current that would
flow through a person who is using an appliance with faulty
insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with an electrical
ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor, or earth.
GFCI receptacles do not protect against short circuits,
overloads, or shocks.
The GFCI receptacles can be tested with the TEST and
RESET buttons.
To test:
Depress the TEST button. This should cause the Reset
button to pop out.
To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the
GFCI. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from
the weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use.

GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (run-
ning) 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continuous(running)wattsoftheseitems.This
is the amount of power the generator must produce to
keep the items running. See the wattage reference chart
at right.
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.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
the generator. There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its 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 later 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 previously described.

OPERATION
DANGER:
Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous 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.
Never use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does NOT supply enough fresh
air.
ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away from open windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in
generator exhaust.
Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered or battery-backup
CO alarm in the home.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the generator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doc-
tor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Page 13 — English

NEVER ignore an automatic shutoff event. IF AUTOMATIC
SHUTOFF OCCURS – YOU MUST leave the area imme-
diately and relocate to an open outdoor area. Ventilate
the area thoroughly before occupying again. Ensure the
generator is located in an open, outdoor area. Always
point exhaust away from occupied structures. Never
run the generator in enclosed areas (e.g. not in a house
or garage). Failure to follow these instructions can lead
to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which can result in
death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-
connected equipment, National Electric Code does not
require that the unit be grounded. However, other methods
of using the generator may require grounding to reduce the
risk of shock or electrocution. Consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for
