Before starting the portable generator there are two equally

important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide

poisoning and fire that must be addressed.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment,

such as a portable generator, contains carbon monoxide,

a poisonous gas that will kill you in minutes. You cannot

smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust

fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

By law in many jurisdictions it is required to have a carbon

monoxide alarm in operating condition in your home.

A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that

detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there

is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert the

occupants by flashing visual indicator light and alarm.

Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

DANGER! Engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a poisonous gas that wil kill you in

minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.

Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be

exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

• Operate portable generator only outdoors, at least

20 ft. (6.1 m) from occupied spaces with exhaust

pointed away to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide

accumulating.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or

plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up

according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke

alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• Do not run portable generator inside homes, garages,

basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-

enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors

and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can

quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for

hours, even after this product has shut off

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your homes carbon

monoxide alarm sounds while using this product, get to

fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You may

have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Generator Capacity

To make sure your generator can supply enough running

watts and starting watts for the items you will power at the

same time, follow these three simple steps:

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

following list for typical wattages.

Tool or Appliance

Running

Watts*

Watts**

Light Bulb - 75 Watt 75 -

Sump Pump - 1/3 HP 1140 2850

Garage Door Opener - 1/2 HP 300 500

* Typical wattages listed are approximate only. Check tool

or appliance for actual wattage.

** The momentary electrical current the generator can

provide to start electric motors, per Briggs & Stratton

standard 628K. It does not represent the power required to

continuously run electrical loads. It is the maximum current

that can momentarily be supplied when starting a motor,

multiplied by the generator’s rated voltage.

2. Total the running watts. This is the amount of power

your generator must produce to keep your items

running. See following example:

Example

Running Watts

2100 Highest

Starting Watts

Total running watts = 2125

Highest starting watts = 2100

Total generator watts required = 4225

3. Estimate the starting watts you will need. Because not

all motors start at the same time, total starting wattage

can be estimated by adding only the item with the

highest additional starting watts requirements to the

total running watts from step 2.

To manage generator power, sequentially add loads as

follows:

1. With nothing connected to generator, start the engine

outdoors.

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 starting watts in generator

capacity.

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 any authorized 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 the generator as instructed in this manual.

All service and adjustments should be made at least once

each season. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure

proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run better and

last longer. Follow requirements in Maintenance Schedule.

Emissions Control

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions

control 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 Emissions Warranty.

Hour Meter

The hour meter is integrated into the Power Use LED’s

and indicates the amount of hours the generator has

accumulated. To activate, press and hold the OVERLOAD

RESET button for 3 seconds.

The LED lights should be read from left to right.

Each LED will blink once for 2 seconds to let the user know

how many digits will display. OK represents the first digit,

25% the second digit, 75% the third digit, and 100% the

fourth digit. Each LED will blink the number of hours. Digits

with a zero will remain lit.

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. Engines on most

outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W30 Synthetic

oil. For equipment operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard®

15W50 Synthetic oil provides the best protection.

* 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.



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. Loosen the three maintenance cover screws and

remove the side maintenance cover.

3. Clean area around oil fill, remove dipsitck and wipe

with clean cloth. Replace dipstick. Remove and check

oil level.

4. Verify oil is at full mark (top hole) on dipstick.

5. If needed, using oil funnel, slowly pour oil into oil fill

opening to full mark (top hole) on dipstick. Do not overfill.

NOTICE Overfilling with oil could cause the engine to not

start, or hard starting.

• Do not overfill.

• If over the full mark (top hole) on dipstick, drain oil to

reduce oil level to full mark on dipstick.

6. Replace and tighten dipstick.

7. Replace the side maintenance cover and hand tighten

the three maintenance cover screws.

NOTICE Do not attempt to crank or start engine before

it has been properly serviced with recommended oil. This

could result in an engine failure.

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.



If you are using your generator under extremely dirty or

dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change the

oil more often.

Change oil while engine is still warm from running, as follows:

guidelines to prepare it for storage.



1. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning.

2. Change engine oil while engine is still warm, drain oil

from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See

Changing Engine Oil.

3. Treat or drain fuel from generator as fuel can become

stale when stored over 30 days.

Each time you fill the container with fuel, add STA-BIL

360°® PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified by the

manufacturer’s instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and

decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the

fuel system.

It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-

BIL 360°® PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before

storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel

and stabilizer through the fuel system.

If fuel in the engine has not been treated with STA-

BIL 360°® PROTECTION™, it must be drained into an

approved container. Then run the engine until it stops from

lack of fuel.

WARNING!

Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive which could cause

burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or

serious injury.

• 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 could ignite fuel vapors.

• When draining fuel, turn generator engine 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.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for

cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

4. Store generator in clean, dry area and cover with a

suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.

WARNING! Storage covers could cause a fire

resulting in death or serious injury.

• Do not place a storage cover over a hot generator. Let

equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the

cover on the equipment.

Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are

derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived

at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust

and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher

than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the

wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given

piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components

(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 engine.

l’alimentation domestique.

droit de changer, de modifier ou encore d’améliorer la génératrice

et cette documentation en tout temps, et ce, sans préavis.

à votre concessionnaire ou prenez contact avec un agent d’un

service après-vente agréé. Cet équipement est conçu pour être
