Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your product. Know its applications, its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save these original instructions for future reference.
The inverter 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 at about 4,500 rpm (with QPT™ (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY™) switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.
The inverter generator produces power that can be used for outdoor items using extension cords or an optional parallel kit. This inverter generator is not intended to restore power to a home. increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through openings. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
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 with Briggs & Stratton Power Products authorized parts only.

Generator could cause electrical shock resulting in death or serious injury.
Muffler could cause burns or resulting in serious injury.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is floating, which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins. Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring a grounded neutral may not operate properly from this generator. Earthing of the generator is not required.
Special Requirements
There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a construction site.
