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 require 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. diameter 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.

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 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

generator 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 for this product

that should be followed during installation and maintenance

of the generator.

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,

building, 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, turn the On/Off switch to OFF and restrain

the unit from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

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

generators 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.

(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 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.

NOTICE:

Do not overload the generator’s capacity. Exceeding the

generator’s wattage/amperage capacity may damage

the generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

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 doctor. You could have carbon monoxide poisoning.

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 local codes or ordinances to find

out if grounding is needed in your situation before using

the generator.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with this product to make you

careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second

is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not

recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The

use of attachments or accessories not recommended

can result in serious personal injury.

rises between the minimum and maximum marks on the

dipstick.

 Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

 Reinstall the side cover. Tighten screw to secure.

USING FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding

a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel

and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the

fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions

for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.

Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank

by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and

shaking gently to combine.

NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being added

to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline

before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer

directly into the generator’s fuel tank.

 Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.

 Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow

stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

OXYGENATED FUELS

NOTICE:

Do not use E15 or E85 fuel (or fuel containing greater

than 10% ethanol) in this product. It is a violation of

federal law and will damage the unit and void your

warranty.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting

from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than

the percentage of oxygenates stated below are not covered

under warranty.

Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume

(commonly referred to as E10) is acceptable. E15 and E85

are not.

CHECKING/ADDING FUEL
