NOTE: When addingoil to the enginecrankcasein the
future, useonly high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classificationSG,SF/CC,CD. Selectthe oil'sviscosity
grade according to your expected operating temperature:
colder _ 32°F ._m,-warmer
SAE lOW30 SAE 30
SAE lOW-30 is recommended for general all temperature
use. Multi-viscosity oils (lOW30, etc.) improvestarting in
cold weather, but these oils will result in increasedoil
consumption. Check your engine oil levelmore frequently
to avoid possible damagefrom running low on oil.
_l'l_m F:II_III'_'_ I
To Add Engine Oil:
• Placethe generator on a level surface.
• Removethe oil fill cover.
• Remove oil filler cap and wipe dipstick clean (Figure I).
J
Oil Filler Neck
• If the oil level isnot at the point of overflowing from the
oil filler neck, slowly fill engine with recommended oil.
• Reinstall oil filler cap and tighten securely.
• Replacethe oil fill cover.
• Check the engine oil level before starting eachtime
thereafter.
Add Fuel
_ ARNING! NEVERfill fuel tank indoors. NEVER
fillfuel tank when engineis running or hot. Allow unit
to cool for two minutes before refueling.DO NOT
light a cigarette or smokewhen fillingthe fueltank.
_ WARNING! DO NOT overfillthe fuel tank.
Always allow room for fuel expansion.
• Use cleanfresh UNLEADED fuel with a pump rating of
86 or higher. DO NOT use premium or leaded fuel. DO
NOT mix oil with fuel.
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Check the fuel level.
• If fuel level islow, slowly add recommended fuel to fuel
tank, up to the shoulder of the fuel strainer (Figure 2).
Be careful not to overfill (there should be no fuel in the
filler neck).
Fill to This Level
NOTE: Occasionally clear the fuel strainer of any dirt,
rust, or other particulate matter.
• Install fuel capand wipe up anyspilled fuel.
Occasionally you may hear a light "spark knock" or
"pinging" (metallic rapping noise) while operating under
heavyloads.This isno causefor concern. If spark knock or
pinging occurs at a steadyengine speed undernormal load,
changebrands of fuel or obtain a higher octane rated fuel.
If pinging or spark knock persists, seeyour local Briggs&
Stratton repair center.
GROUNDING THE
G EN ERATO R
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is
provided on the generator housing (Figure 3).
Grounding Wing Nut
Generally, connecting a No. 12AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wingnut
and to an earth-driven copper or brassgrounding rod
(electrode) provides adequateprotection againstelectrical
shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after
connecting the stranded copper wire. However, localcodes
may vary widely. Consult with a localelectrician for
grounding requirements in your area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical
shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or
in connected electrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipatestatic electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE
G EN ERATO R
_ AUTION! NEVERstart or stop the engine withelectrical loadsconnected to the unit and with the
connected devicesturned ON.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loadsfrom the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
• Be sure the spark plug wire is attached to the spark plug.
• Turn the fuel valve to the "Open" position (fully
clockwise) (Figure4).
• Slide the choke leverto the "Choke" position (all the
way to the right) (Figure 5).
• Place the engine switch in the "On" position (Figure 6).
• Grasp starter grip and slowly pull the rope until you feel
some resistance, then pull the cord out with a rapid full
arm stroke. Let rope return slowly. DO NOT let rope
"snap back" againstthe unit.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulis, but fails to run for
more than 10seconds,check for proper oil levelin
crankcase.This unit is equipped with a Oil Alert System
(see page8).
• Slidethe choke lever left to the "Run" position asthe
engine warms up.
NOTE: Under no load conditions, the engine speed may
vary slightly faster or slower until engine temperatures
stabilize.
Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert Systemisdesignedto prevent engine damage
causedby an insufficientamount of oil in the crankcase.
Before the oil level in the crankcase canfall below a safe
limit,the Oil Alert Systemwill automatically shut clown the
engine (the engine switch will remain in the "On" position).
If the Oil Alert Systemshuts down the engine,add engine
oil.
A CAUTION! Breathing Hazard! NEVER run
engine in enclosed poorly ventilated areas. Engine
A
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and AL
deadly gas.
Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine stabilize andwarm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• DO NOT connect 240 Volt loadsto 120 Volt receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loadsto the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• Plug in andturn on the desired 120Volt AC, single
phase,60 Hertz electrical loads.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than the rated
wattage/amperagecapacity of the generator. See"Don't
Overload the Generator" on page 10.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from the unit. NEVERstart or
stop engine with electrical devicesplugged in and turned
on.
• Let engine run at no-load for two minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures.
• Move engine switch to the "Off" position.
• Turn the fuel valve to the "Close" position (fully
counterclockwise).
NOTE: In an emergency,stop the engine by moving the
engine switch to the "Off" position.
Charging a Battery
WARNING! Storage batteries emit explosive gas
while chargingthat remains around a battery for a
long time after it hasbeen charged. The slightest
spark can ignite the gas,causingan explosion that
canshatter the battery and causeblindness or
other injury.
A
WARNING! DO NOT permit smoking, open
flame, sparks or anyother source of heat around a
battery. DO NOT usea lighter or other flame for
checkingbattery fluid levels.Wear protective
goggles,rubber apron and rubber gloves when
working around a battery. Battery electrolyte fluid is
an extremely caustic sulfuric acid solution that can
causesevereburns. DO NOT permit fluid contact
with eyes,skin, clothing, etc. If spill occurs, flush
areawith clear water immediately.
Your generator hasthe capability of recharginga discharged
12Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO
NOT usethe unit to chargeany 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT
usethe unit to crank an engine havinga discharged battery.
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
• If necessary, clean battery posts or terminals.
• Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, acid
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
• If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
• Connect battery charge cable connector plug to the
12 Volt DC panel receptacle.

• Start generator. Let the engine run while battery
recharges.
• When battery hascharged, shut down engine (see
"Stopping The Engine")
NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery
state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer
manufacturer's instructions carefully.Generally, a battery is
considered to be at 100%state of charge when specific
gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260or
higher.
CONNECTOR PLUGS
120 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacle
Eachoutlet socket is protected againstoverload by a
7.5Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use each receptacle
to operate 120 Volt AC, singlephase,60 Hz electrical loads
requiring up to 1,000watts (I .0kW) of power (Figure 8).
_ AUTION! Although each receptacle is rated
for 120Volts at 15Amps (I,440 watts or 1.44kW),
the generator is rated for a total of 1,000watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of
the generator candamageit or causeserious
injuries. The total of loads powered through these
receptacles should not exceed 7.5 Amps.
12 Volt DC Accessory Jack
This receptacle allows you to rechargea 12 Volt
automotive or utility style storage battery with the battery
charge cable provided. Camping-style air pumps, lanterns,
fans,or other 12Volt deviceshavinga cigarette llghter-type
plug may also be powered by this outlet (Figure 9).
This receptacle can not recharge 6 Volt batteries and can
not be used to crank an engine havinga discharged battery.
See "Charging a Battery" (page8) before attempting to
recharge a battery.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only high quality,well-insulated, extension cords with
the generator's 120 Volt electrical receptacles.
Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use
them. Such cords should be rated for 125Volt AC loads at
15Amps (or greater) for most electrical devices.Some
devices, however, maynot require this type of extension
cord. Check the owner's manuals of those devices for their
recommendations.
Keep extension cords asshort as possible, preferably less
than 15feet long, to prevent voltage drop and possible
overheating of wires.
DON'T OVERLOAD YOUR
G EN ERATO R
Capacity
You must make sure your generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the itemsyou
will power at the sametime. Follow these simple steps:
I. Select the itemsyou wilt power at the sametime.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your itemsrunning. See Figure 10.
3. Estimate how manysurge (starting) watts you wilt
need. Surgewattage isthe short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliancessuchasa circular saw or refrigerator.
Becausenot alt motors start at the sametime, total
surgewatts canbe estimated by adding only the

Long Term Storage Instructions
A
WARNING! NEVER store engine with fuel in
tank indoorsor in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas
where fumes may reachan open flame, spark or
pilot lightason a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer or other gasappliance.
Be sure the storage area isfree from excessive
humidity and dust.
One Month to One Year
Drain the carburetor float bowl (seefollowing section) and
fuel tank into a suitable container. After removal from
storage, fill with fresh fuel before starting.
More than One Year
It isimportantto prevent gum deposits from forming in
essentialfuel system parts such asthe carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hoseor tank during storage. Also, experience indicates
that alcohol-blended fuels (calledgasohot, ethanol or
methanol) canattract moisture, which leadsto separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gascan
damagethe fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 daysor longer.Follow these
instructions:
Protect Fuel System
_ WARNING! Drain fuel into approved container
outdoors, awayfrom open flame. Be sure engine is
cool. DO NOT smoke.
• Drain carburetor float bowl andfuel tank into a suitable

when cranking engine slowly.
• Cover spark plug hole with rag.Crank slowly several
times to distribute oil.
• Install spark plug. DO NOT connect spark plug wire.
• Slowly pull the starter grip until resistance isfelt. At this
point, the piston iscoming up on itscompression stroke
and both the intakeand exhaustvalvesare closed.
Storing the engine in this position will help to protect it
from internalcorrosion.
