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 re-

quire 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. Con-

nect 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. di-

ameter 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER:

Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN KILL

YOU IN MINUTES.

Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon mon-

oxide (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, crawl-

spaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels

of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Us-

ing 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 Easy Start dial to the off position

and restrain the unit from moving before transporting in

a vehicle.

Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the generator

to catch any drips of fuel or lubricant when transporting.

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 5 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.

GENERATOR CAPACITY

Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous (run-

ning) 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.

OPERATION

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.
