directions). After the fuel stabilizer is added, run the generator set for 5 minutes to get the
stabilizer into the carburetor. After shutting the engine off, be sure to close all the fuel
valves.
4. Drain the used oil from the engine’s crankcase and refill it with clean oil.
5. Remove the spark plugs and pour1 oz. of clean engine oil into each cylinder. Put a rag
over each spark plug port and pull the starting cord approximately 5 times to distribute
the oil in the cylinder.
6. Replace the spark plug(s) but do not connect the plug wires. This will help prevent
accidental or unauthorized starting.
7. Provide maintenance to the engine and generator set as described in the engine and
generator maintenance sections of this manual.
8. Cover any bare metal spots with paint or another type of rust preventative.
WARNING: Never store an engine with fuel in its tank indoors or in an enclosed, poorly ventilated area
where gasoline fumes could reach an ignition source and cause an explosion.
Receiving & Installation 3-1MN2418
Physical Location
The mounting location of the system is important. It should be installed in an area that is
protected from direct harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, shock and vibration. It can
only be installed in an outdoor location so the exhaust fumes are vented to the atmosphere. This
system must never be installed inside an enclosed building, home, shop or garage etc.
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation:
1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a flat, smooth,
non-flammable level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation.
2. The location for the generator must be dry. Never operate a generator in an area that
has standing water or puddles.
3. Installation should prevent obstructions by buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc. It
is important that the unit be operated in a reasonably clean environment.
4 All engines give off considerable heat when running. The engine in your generator set
uses air to keep it cool so it is important that the ambient temperature is cool and does
not exceed 100°F (even while it is running). Where natural ventilation is inadequate a
fan to boost circulation should be used.
5. Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Never
operate an engine indoors.
WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never
breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where
ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and
extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or
incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air
immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if
necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.
6. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so
will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a
possible electrocution hazard.
Installation
The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped to
you. External connections required at the time of installation are:
1. Electrical Connections.
2. Ground Connection.
Note: The generator is shipped dry. This means no oil is in the engine crankcase and no battery
is installed. You must refer to the engine manual and obtain the correct type and quantity
of engine motor oil and the correct battery (if equipped for electric start).
After installation, the post installation checks must be performed prior to starting the engine.
After these checks have been performed and the system operation is verified to be good, refer to
Section 5 Troubleshooting and Maintenance for periodic checks that must be performed at
scheduled intervals to ensure continued operation with minimal problems.
3-2 Receiving & Installation MN2418
Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the panel using electrical cords with the proper
mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the
total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.
WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician
has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that
connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric
utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate
the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating.
Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.
Use correct size insulated wire to connect the generator to the load. The gauge of the wire will
depend on the distance to the load, the permissible voltage drop at the load, and the current
required by the load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a
competent electrician. Using wire that is too small can result in fire hazard. Also, be sure the
wire has the appropriate ratings for insulation and environment conditions.
The correct mating connector must be used to fit the connectors provided on the operator panel
of your generator. Table 3-1 describes the connector types provided (receptacles) and the load
characteristics to help you choose the correct size wire. Figure 3-2 shows the receptacles.

WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power
before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal
injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be
connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of
generator systems.
The NEC requires that the frame and exposed metal surfaces be at local ground reference
potential to avoid electrical shock hazard. A local ground reference may require a driven earth
ground conductor at the generator installation site. Make the ground connection as shown in
Figure 3-3. Use the appropriate size wire (normally 6 AWG) as required by NEC and local
codes. The local reference ground is normally a copper clad earth ground rod driven into the
earth at least 8 feet or as necessary to reach the water table.

CAPACITY
Use of Electric Motor Loads
Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to keep them running.
Some motors, particularly split−phase motors are very difficult to start and require 5 to 7 times
more current to start them. Repulsion−induction type motors are the easiest to start and normally
only require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them.
Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to start them and
keep them running. This is true whether they are the repulsion−induction type motor, capacitor
type motor, or the split−phase type motor.
Other factors that influence the amount of current needed to start a motor are:
1. The type of load connected to the motor. If the electric motor is connected to a hard
starting load such as an air compressor it will require more starting current. If the same
electric motor is connected to a light load such as a heater or power saw it will require
less starting current.
2. The brand or design of the electric motor. The expected starting current for a
particular size motor will vary depending on the brand of the electric motor as well as
the type of electric motor (Split Phase, capacitor, Repulsion−induction type, etc.)
3. The condition of the electric motor. A clean motor with free turning bearings will
require less starting currents than a similar type motor that is dirty and the bearings are
not as free turning as they used to be.

Pre−Start Checks
Before the engine is started, several things must first be checked.
1. Place the generator set in an open, dry, well ventilated and reasonably level location.
2. If grounding is required for your application, check to make sure your unit is grounded
properly (see Section3).
3. Check the engine’s oil level and add oil if necessary to bring it to the level
recommended by the engine manufacturer.
4. Check the fuel level and add fuel to within 1/2 inch of the fill tube if necessary.
5. Open the fuel valve on the fuel tank (and on the engine if installed).
6. Check the fuel system for fuel leaks and repair them prior to starting the engine. Wipe
up any fuel spills before starting the engine.
7. Disconnect or “turn off” all external loads.
8. Make sure all circuit breakers are set (pushed in).

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Maintenance
This manual contains only very minimal engine maintenance instructions. Refer to the engine
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for specific engine maintenance instructions for your generator
set. Any maintenance instructions or recommendations in the engine owner’s manual take
precedence over any of the following general recommendations.
General:
1. Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Replace all defective components immediately.
2. Inspect and replace any fuel line that shows signs of deterioration.
3. Inspect all fuel clamps to ensure they are tight.
4. Make sure the fuel cap fits snugly on the fuel tank and that the fuel tank does not leak.
5. Inspect the external wire cables and connectors used with the generator set for cuts,
frayed insulation, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged parts before use.
6. The engine should be checked for proper speed setting(s).
Prior to adjusting the engine speed, turn the auto idler switch to “OFF” (if present).
Make sure that the auto idler magnet does not touch the throttle lever of the engine
when running.
a. Disconnect all electrical loads and start the engine.
b. Adjust the engine speed to 3720 RPM (62 Hz) with no load speed.
Engine:
1. Clean and/or replace any fuel, oil, and/or air filters per the engine manufacturers’
guidelines.
2. Check oil level regularly; at least every 5 to 8 operating hours. Maintain the proper oil
level.
3. Change the oil as is recommended in the engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
4. Replace the spark plug(s) as is recommended by the engine manufacturer.
5. Clean the cooling fins on the engine to keep the engine’s heat dissipation potential at
it’s maximum.
6. Inspect and clean all governor and carburetor linkages so they operate properly.
7. Inspect the recoil starting rope for any damage and replace it if necessary (if
applicable).
8. Clean the trash screen around the recoil starter or other cooling air intake.
Alternator:
This generator set must be run at its proper speed to obtain the correct electrical power at its
output. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The engine
governor is designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the
electrical load is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and engine speed drops slightly.
This slight decrease in engine speed results in a slight decrease in generator voltage and
frequency output. This voltage and frequency variation has no appreciable effect in the operation
of motors, lights, and most appliances and tools. However, timing devices and clocks will not
keep perfect time when used on this generator.
( also called Generator End)
1. Clean the generator set and remove any and all dust, dirt, or other foreign material.
2. Inspect and clean the cooling air intake and exhaust louvers of the generator end.
Make sure they are clean. Remove dirt or any buildup that may restrict the cooling air
flow.
3. Clean the generator set and its components with a damp cloth or sponge.
Never use a water hose or pressure washer as this may damage electrical
components.
4. Inspect and replace any control panel components that are broken or not working
properly (receptacles, circuit breakers, switches, etc.)

presenting your generator to an authorized Baldor service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days from the date of delivery to the authorized Baldor service center.
If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact Baldor − Generator Technical Support at
1−479−646−4711.
CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE
Baldor warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that the generator is: (1) designed, built and equipped so
as to conform with all applicable CARB EECS regulations; (2) free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure
of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to that part as described in Baldor’s application of certification to CARB; (3)
the warranty period begins on the date the generator is delivered to an ultimate purchaser or first placed into service. The warranty
period is two years.
Subject to certain conditions and exclusions as stated below, the warranty on EVAP emission−related parts is as follows: Any warranted
part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period. If the part fails during the period of warranty coverage, the part will be repaired or replaced by Baldor at an authorized Baldor
service center at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the
EECS warranty period. Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions supplied is warranted
for the EECS warranty period. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining EECS warranty
period. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions supplied is warranted
for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. If the part fails before the first schedule replacement,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Baldor. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remainder
of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part. Notwithstanding the provisions herein, EECS warranty services
or repairs will be provided at designated service facilities to service the subject equipment. The generator owner will not be charged
for diagnostic labor that leads to the determination that an EECS warranted part is defective, if the work is performed at an authorized
