CAUTION

OPERATION

DON'T OVERLOAD

GENERATOR

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 Figure 8.

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 it's 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.

ENGINE TECHNICAL

INFORMATION

This is a single cylinder, overhead valve(OHV), air cooled engine. It is a low emissions engine.

In the State of California, Model Series 120000 engines are certified by the California Air Resources Board to meet emissions standards for 125 hours. Such certification does not grant the purchaser, owner or operator of this engine any additional warranties with respect to the performance or operational life of this engine.The engine is warranted solely according to the product and emissions warranties stated elsewhere in this manual.

Power Ratings

* The power ratings for an individual engine model are initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both the wide array of products on which our engines are placed, and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, it may be that the engine you have purchased will not develop the rated horsepower when used in a piece of power equipment (actual “on-site” power).This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maximum governed engine speed, individual engine to engine variability, design of the particular piece of power equipment, the manner in which the engine is operated, engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of combustion chambers, adjustments to the valves and carburetor, and other factors.The power ratings may also be adjusted based on comparisons to other similar engines utilized in similar applications, and will therefore not necessarily match the values derived using the foregoing codes.

GENERAL

RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular maintenance will improve the performance and extend the life of the generator. See any 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 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 below in Figure 9.

NOTE: 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.

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.

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances are visible on its exterior surface.

NOTE:DO NOT use water or other liquids to clean generator. Liquids can enter the engine fuel system causing poor performance and / or failure to occur. In addition, if liquids enters the 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.

Generator Cleaning

Daily or before use, clean accumulated debris from generator. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area around and behind muffler free from any combustible debris.

Generator 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.

• Use a soft bristle brush to loosen caked on dirt, oil, etc.

• Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.

¹ Change oil after the first (5) operating hours and every 50 hours or every year,whichever occurs first, thereafter.

Change sooner when operating under dirty or dusty conditions.

² Replace more often under dirty or dusty conditions.

MAINTENANCE

• Use low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and openings on the generator.These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Oil

Oil Recommendations NOTE:When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use only

high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. DO NOT use special additives.

1. Choose a viscosity according to the following table:

NOTE: 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.

SAE 30: 40 °F and higher (5 °C and higher) is good for all purpose use above 40°F, use below 40°F will cause hard starting.

10W-30: 0 to 100 °F (-18 to 38 °C) is better for varying temperature conditions.This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80°F(27°C) or higher. *Check oil level frequently at higher temperatures.

Synthetic 5W-30: -20 to 120 °F (-30 to 40 °C) provides the best protection at all temperatures as well as improved starting with less oil consumption.

5W-30: 40 °F and below (5 °C and below) is recommended for winter use, and works best in cold conditions.

Checking Oil Level

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 5 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2. Remove oil dipstick and wipe dipstick with clean cloth. Replace and tighten dipstick. Remove and and check oil level.

3. Verify oil is at “Full” mark on dipstick. Replace and tighten dipstick.

Adding Engine Oil

1. Make sure generator is on a level surface.

2. Check oil level as described in “Checking Oil Level”.

3. If needed, slowly pour oil into oil fill opening to the “Full” mark on dipstick. DO NOT overfill.

4. Replace and tighten dipstick.

Servicing Air Cleaner

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged if you run it with a dirty air cleaner.

Replace the air cleaner every 25 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first. Replace more often if operating under dirty or dusty conditions.

• DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

• DO NOT insert any objects through cooling slots.

Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.

CAUTION

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.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

• Use approved spark plug tester.

• DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.
