Equipment Description

Read this manual carefully and become familiar with

your outdoor generator. Know its applications, its

limitations, and any hazards involved. Save these

original instructions for future reference.

The outdoor generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,

alternating current (AC) generator equipped with a voltage

regulator. The generator is designed to supply electrical

power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances,

tools and motor loads. The voltage regulator within the

generator is designed to automatically maintain output

voltage level.

The portable generator produces power that can be used

for outdoor items using extension cords or for first time

temporary home power restoration. Before your next home

power outage, install a listed transfer switch. A transfer switch

is a separate device installed by a licensed electrician that

allows the portable generator to be cord connected, using the

locking receptacle, directly into your home’s electrical system.

Extension cords connected to the portable generator’s

control panel are not intended to be a long term solution

when connected to items inside your home.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the information

in this manual is both accurate and current. However, the

manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise

improve the generator and this documentation at any time

without prior notice.

NOTICE If you have questions about intended use, contact

an authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to

be used with Briggs & Stratton® authorized parts only.

This spark ignition system complies with the Canadian

standard CAN ICES-2/NMB-2.

System Ground

The generator has a system ground that connects the

generator frame components to the ground terminals on the

AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to the

AC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator frame).

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State regulations, local codes, or

ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or

the local agency having jurisdiction.

Operation

Step 1: Safe Location

Before starting the portable generator there are two equally

important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide

poisoning and fire that must be addressed.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of

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 it is required in many states 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 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.

• 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.

To better educate yourself about all carbon monoxide risks,

go to www.takeyourgeneratoroutside.com.

Prevent Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning

• Use outdoors at least 20 ft. (6.1 m) from any home.

• Point exhaust away from all homes and occupied

spaces.

• Install CO alarms inside your home.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm(s)

Install carbon monoxide alarm

inside your home. Without

working carbon monoxide alarms,

you will not realize you are getting

sick and dying from carbon

monoxide poisoning.

Step 2: Oil and Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded fuel with a minimum of 87 octane.

• Gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10% is acceptable.

E10

E15

NOTICE Do not mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on

alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels could damage

engine and will not be covered under warranty.

See High Altitude for 5,000 ft. and above.

WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely

flammable which could cause burns or fire

resulting in death or serious injury.

• Do not refuel during operation.

• Do not smoke during refueling.

• Turn engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before

removing fuel cap.

• Fill 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.

1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.

2. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap/dipstick.

3. Slowly pour contents of oil bottle into oil fill opening.

Checking oil level frequently, fill to point of overflowing.

NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean

each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.

4. Replace and fully tighten oil fill cap/dipstick.

5. Slowly remove fuel cap to relieve pressure in tank.

6. Slowly add unleaded fuel to fuel tank. Be careful not

to fill above bottom lip. This allows adequate space for

fuel expansion.

7. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate

before starting engine.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 ft. (1524 m), a minimum 85 octane

fuel is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high

altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this

adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased

fuel consumption,

and increased emissions.

See an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high altitude

adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below

2,500 ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Transporting

When transporting equipment with a vehicle or trailer, turn fuel

shutoff valve to off (0) position. Do not tip engine or equipment at

an angle which causes fuel to spill.

Step 3: Generator Start Up

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the

following start instructions:

1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.

NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may cause

the unit to shut down.

2. Turn the fuel valve to the on (I) position.

3. Push choke lever to choke ( ) position.

4. Set engine switch to on (I) position.

5. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight

resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.

6. Slowly move choke lever to run ( ) position. If engine

falters, move choke lever to half choke position until

engine runs smoothly, and then to run ( ) position.

Operation

Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads

Using Extension Cords

Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor use

rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.

WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension

cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in

death or serious injury.

NOTICE For generator output required see Generator

Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn

on for operation.

120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacle

Use this receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-phase, 60

Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 Watts (2.4 kW) at

20 Amps of current.

Ground Fault Protection

The duplex receptacle is equipped with Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. The GFCI protects

against electrical shock that may be caused if your body

becomes a path which electricity travels to reach ground.

When protected by a GFCI, one may still feel a shock, but

the GFCI is intended to cut current off quickly enough so

that a person in normal health should not suffer any serious

electrical injury.

WARNING! Generator voltage could cause

electrical shock or burn resulting in death or

serious injury. Contact with the hot and neutral

conductor at the same time could cause electrical shock

or burn, even if the circuit is GFCI protected.

Testing the GFCI

With the engine running, test your GFCI outlet prior to each

use, as follows:

• Push the “Test” button. The “Reset” button should pop

out, which should allow no power to reach the outlet.

• Press the “Reset” button firmly until it is fully in place

and locks in that position. If the GFCI outlet does not

reset properly, do not use the outlet. Call or take your

generator to a local service center.

• If the GFCI trips by itself at any time, reset and test the

outlet.

120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14-20 plug with this receptacle. Connect

a 4_wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps.

The generator’s locking receptacle is not protected by a

GFCI.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single

phase loads requiring up to 3,500 watts of power (3.5 kW)

at 14.6 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent 120 Volt

loads at 14.6 Amps each.

Operation

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.

* 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

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.

Power Management

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.

CO Guard

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Shutdown System

CO Guard automatically shuts down the engine when

harmful levels of carbon monoxide accumulate around the

generator or a CO Guard fault occurs. After shutdown, the

CO Guard indicator light will blink for at least five minutes

per the chart below.

CO Guard DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms.

Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s) in your

home. Don’t run generator in enclosed areas.

Storage

If storing the unit for more than 30 days, use the following

guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions

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.

Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel

system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,

use a fuel stabilizer.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a

fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the

engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout

the fuel system before storage.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel

stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.

Then run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use

of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended

to maintain freshness.

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 or running

generator. Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before

placing the cover on the equipment.

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive

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.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover

damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.

Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s

Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
