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 Wattage Reference Guide.
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.

Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs
first. More frequent service is required when operating in
adverse conditions noted below.
1
Service more often under dirty or dusty conditions.
General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve the performance and
extend the life of the generator. See an authorized dealer for
service.
The generator’s warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain the
generator as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All service and adjustments should be made at least once
each season. Follow the requirements in the Maintenance
Schedule chart above.
NOTICE Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plug and replace the air filter. A new spark plug and clean air
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions
control devices and systems may be performed by any
non-road engine repair establishment or individual.
However, to obtain ”no charge” emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
See the Emissions Warranty.
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.
NOTICE DO NOT use water or other liquids to clean
generator. Liquids can enter engine fuel system, causing
poor performance and/or failure to occur. In addition, if
liquid enters generator through cooling air slots, some of the
liquid will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and
stator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on the
generator internal windings will eventually decrease the
insulation resistance of these windings.
Cleaning
Daily or before use, look around and underneath the
generator for signs of oil or fuel leaks. Clean accumulated
debris from inside and outside the generator. Keep the
linkage, spring and other engine controls clean. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on generator. These openings
must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulated debris:
Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
NOTICE
Improper treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or
corrosive vapors.
DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt or oil.
Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
Battery Maintenance
Other than float charging, described elsewhere, no
maintenance is required for the starting battery. Keep the
battery and terminals clean and dry.
NOTICE Battery charging should be performed in a dry
location, such as inside a garage.

StatStation™
The StatStation™ displays the nominal load on generator
based on output frequency. It also has a built in maintenance
reminder.
Wattage Monitor Operation
The display is two seven-segment LEDs that provide an
easy-to-read indication of the amount of power being
supplied by the generator. The load monitor displays the
generator’s output as a percentage.
As generator load increases, the display values will increase.
When the displayed values begin flashing, the user should
stop adding electrical loads to the generator.
If the power usage becomes too high, the letters “OL” (for
Over Load) will flash on the display. The user should reduce
the amount of load attached to the generator.
Maintenance Reminder
The LED will display certain codes to alert you to check oil,
change oil, check or replace air filter and check or replace
spark plug. The following codes will display:
“C1” Check oil at 8 hour increments
“C2” Change oil at 50 hour increments
“C3” Check or replace air filter at 25 hour increments
“C4” Check or replace spark plug at 100 hour increments
To take advantage of the StatStation “maintenance reminder”
capabilities, the user must press the reset button after
completing the maintenance called for in the displayed code
(C1, C2, C3, or C4). This results in a display of “Co” or “CA”,
depending on how long the button is pressed:
1) “Co” - Pressing the reset button once quickly will
display "Co" (clearing to zero). This will clear any
maintenance codes that have elapsed up to that point
and they will begin timing again from zero.
2) “CA” - Pressing and holding the reset button for
2 seconds will display "CA" (clearing all). This clears all
maintenance codes, even if they have not yet reached
their service point, and they will begin timing again
from zero.
If nominal load and maintenance codes appear
simultaneously, the LED shall display, alternately, the
nominal load and code as follows:
The code will display for 3 seconds, then 1/2 second off. The
load will display for 6 seconds and then 1/2 second off.

Oil
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.
* 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.
NOTICE Synthetic oil meeting ILSAC GF-2, API
certification mark and API service symbol with
“SJ/CF ENERGY CONSERVING” or higher, is an
acceptable oil at all temperatures. Use of synthetic
oil does not alter required oil change intervals.
WARNING Unintentional sparking can result in fire or
electric shock.
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.

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 Cleaning.
Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
Long Term Storage Instructions
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 Briggs
& Stratton FRESH START® fuel stabilizer, available as a
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
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. The engine and fuel can then be stored up to
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container. 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.
Change Engine Oil
While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill
with recommended grade. See Changing Engine Oil.
Other Storage Tips
1. DO NOT store fuel from one season to another unless it
has been treated as described in Long Term Storage
Instructions.
2. Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or
dirt in fuel can cause problems if it’s used with this
unit.
3. Cover unit with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture.
4. Store generator in clean, dry area.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns
or death.
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 can ignite fuel vapors.
WHEN DRAINING FUEL
