GENERATOR

Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enough

rated (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 rated (running) watts of these items.This is

the amount of power your generator must produce to

keep your items running. See Figure 14.

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.

Example:

Total Rated (Running) Watts = 3075

Highest Additional Surge Watts = 1800

Total Generator Output Required = 4875

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,

it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to

your 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 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 described above.

*Wattages listed are approximate only. Check tool or

appliance for actual wattage.

Generator Maintenance

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean

and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry

environment where it will not be exposed to excessive

dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air

slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,

leaves or any other foreign material.

NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.

Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In

addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,

some of the water will be retained in voids and cracks of

the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water and dirt

buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually

decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.

Battery Maintenance

Other than float charging, as described in “How to Use the

Battery Charger”, no maintenance is required for the

battery. Keep the battery and terminals clean and dry.

IMPORTANT: Battery charging should be performed in a

dry location, such as inside a garage.

Generator Cleaning

• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.

• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow

away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on

generator.These openings must be kept clean and

unobstructed.

STORAGE

The generator should be started at least once every seven

days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot

be done and you must store the unit for more than

30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for

storage.

Generator Storage

• Clean the generator as outlined in “Generator Cleaning”.

• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator

are open and unobstructed.

Engine Storage

See engine owner’s manual for instructions.

Other Storage Tips

• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on

essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel

tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several

minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.

The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to

24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.

• DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless

it has been treated as described above.

• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt

in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.

• Store unit in a clean and dry area.

• DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot generator.

• Let equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the

cover on the equipment.

Storage covers can be flammable.

WARNING

• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt,

or corrosive vapors.

• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and

shorten its life.

CAUTION

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR

GENERATOR

• Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place

the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or

electric shock.
