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 and direct current (AC & DC) generator.
It was designed to supply electrical power for operating
compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor
loads. The generator’s revolving field is driven by a single-
cylinder engine.
The portable generator can be used to power outdoor items
using extension cords or for providing power to your travel trailer/
recreational vehicle (RV). DO NOT connect generator to a home’s
electrical system.
The generator is not intended to supply systems that are
legally required, for serious life safety or health hazards,
or where lack of power hampers rescue of fire-fighting
operations.
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

Operation
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.
20 ft.
(6.1 m) min.
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.
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.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Fire
WARNING!
Exhaust heat/gases could ignite
combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank
causing a fire, resulting in death or serious injury.
Portable generator must be at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) from any
structure, overhang, trees, shrubs, or vegetation over 12
in. (30.5 cm) in height.
• Do not place portable generator under a deck or other
type of structure that may confine airflow. Smoke alarm(s)
must be installed and maintained indoors according to the
manufacturer’s instructions/recommendations.
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• Do not place portable generator in manner other than
shown.

Step 2: Oil and Fuel
1. Move generator outdoors to a flat, level surface.
2. Turn dial and open cover over oil fill area.
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove oil fill cap/dipstick.
4. Using an oil funnel, slowly pour contents of oil bottle
into oil fill opening. Checking oil level frequently, fill to
point of overflowing.
NOTICE Do not screw in dipstick when checking oil level.
NOTICE Pause to permit oil to settle. Wipe dipstick clean
each time oil level is checked. DO NOT overfill.
5. Replace and fully tighten oil fill cap/dipstick.
6. Replace cover over oil fill area.
Low Oil Indicator
The low oil indicator system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by not enough engine oil. If engine oil level
drops below a preset level, the yellow LED low oil indicator
light comes on and an oil level switch will stop the engine. If
engine stops or the yellow LED low oil indicator light comes
on when you try to start the generator, check the engine oil
level.
Fuel Level Monitor
There are 5 LED’s to indicate the level of fuel in the fuel
tank. The yellow bottom LED indicates your fuel tank
is empty or near empty. The remaining 4 green LED’s
indicate the fuel level in 25% increments from the bottom to
the top; 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
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.
7. Slowly remove fuel cap to relieve pressure in tank.
8. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red max fill indicator in fuel
tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This allows
adequate space for fuel expansion.
9. 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, turn starting dial to off
position. Do not tip engine or equipment at an angle which
causes fuel to spill.

sure it is located in an open, outdoor area, at least 20
ft. (6.1 m.) from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed
away.
5. Extension cords running directly into home, powering
indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
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.
Extension cords running directly into the home
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
through openings.
If an extension cord running directly into the home is
used to power indoor items, the operator recognizes
that this increases the risk of CO poisoning to people
inside the home and assumes that risk.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.

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.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Shutdown System
Automatically shuts down the engine when harmful levels
of carbon monoxide accumulate around the generator or
a CO shutdown system fault occurs. After shutdown, the
indicator light will blink for at least five minutes per the
chart below.
The CO shutdown system DOES NOT replace carbon
monoxide alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide
alarm(s) in your home. Do not run generator in enclosed areas.

Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity
for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for
the outdoor temperature range expected. Engines on most
outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W30 Synthetic
oil. For equipment operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard®
15W50 Synthetic oil provides the best protection.
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking/Adding Engine Oil
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.
2. Remove cover over the oil fill area.
3. Clean area around oil fill, remove dipsitck and wipe
with clean cloth. Replace dipstick. Remove and check

Storage
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.
Each time you fill the container with fuel, add STA-BIL
360°® PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified by the
manufacturer’s instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the
fuel system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-
BIL 360°® PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before
storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
and stabilizer through the fuel system.
If fuel in the engine has not been treated with STA-
BIL 360°® PROTECTION™, it must be drained into an
approved container. Then run the engine until it stops from
lack of fuel.
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. Charge battery as outlined in Battery Maintenance.
5. 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.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for
warranty service may not be appropriate. 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 product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage
or water/chemical corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and
serviced or repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by

or equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration.
Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for
primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or
demonstration equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.

à votre concessionnaire ou prenez contact avec un agent d’un
service après-vente agréé. Cet équipement est conçu pour être
utilisé uniquement avec les pièces Briggs & Stratton® approuvées.
Fixation de mise à la masse
Le neutre de la génératrice est flottant, ce qui signifie que
l’enroulement du stator CA est isolé de la fixation de mise à
la masse et de la broche de mise à la terre de la prise CA.
Sur une génératrice à neutre flottant, les broches de mise à la
terre de la prise CA ne sont pas fonctionnelles. Les dispositifs
électriques, tels que les disjoncteurs GFCI nécessitant une
broche de mise à la terre de la prise CA, ne fonctionneront pas.
