OPERATION
DON'T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
This generator is equipped with two 20-amp, one 20-amp
and one 30-amp circuit breakers, which protect the unit
against eiectricai overload. Overloading a generator in
excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in damage
to the generator to connected eiectricai devices. Observe
the followirig, to prevent overloading the unit
• Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to be
connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator’s wattage capacity,
• The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal
affixed to the device lf the appliance, tool or motor does
not give wattage, mulitply 120 volts times ampere rating
to determine watts {volts x amps ~ watts).

Some electric motors, such as induction types, require
about two and a half times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts only
a few seconds when starting such motors. Make sure
you allow for this high starting wattage when selecting

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITiES
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all
periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely
basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit
is kept ciean and properly stored. Never operate a dam
aged or defective generator. Follow the recommendations
in the SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS chart on page 9.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE
FROM SPARK PLUG AND PLACE WIRE WHERE IT
CANNOT COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SPARK
PLUG BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR GENER
ATOR.
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance constists of keeping the unit clean
and dry Operate and store the unit in a ciean dry environ
ment 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 dean
when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign substances
are visible on its exterior surface
NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using a garden hose to
clean generator. Water can enter the engine fuel system
and cause problems in additon, if water enters the gener
ator through cooling air slots, some of the water will be
retained in voids and cracks of the rotor and stator winding
insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator internal
windings will eventually decrease the insulation resistance
of these windings
TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR;
« Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean
= A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc
» A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used
to blow away dirt Inspect cooling air slots and open
ings on the generator. These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
CAUTION: Never insert any object or tool through
the air cooling slots, even if the engine is not
A
running. Damage to the unit or personal injury may
result
CHANGING OIL
Change oil after first 8 hours of operation. Change oil every
50 hours thereafter If you are using your generator under
dirty or dusty conditions, or in esctremely hot weather,
change oil more often.

or once each year, whichever comes first.
DANGER: LET MUFFLER COOL BEFORE WORK
ING ON IT. CONTACT WITH a HOT MUFFLER OR
ENGINE CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
NOTE If you use your generator on any forest-covered,
brush covered or grass-covered unimproved land, it must
have a spark arrester. The spark arrestor must be cleaned
and maintained in good condition by the owner or operator
The preceding is required by law in the State of California
Other states may have similar laws Federal laws apply on
federal lands
Clean and inspect the spark arrestor as follows (Fig. 18}:

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE SPEED
CAUTION: Engine speed was properly adjusted at
the factory and should require no additional adjust
ment Do not attempt to change engine speed. If
you believe the engine is running loo fast or too
slow, take your generator to an authorized Sears
Service Center for repair and adjustment CHANG
ING ENGINE GOVERNED SPEED WILL VOID EN
GINE WARRANTY.
Th speed of the generator is maintained by an electronically
controlled governor. DO NOT try to adjust the governed
speed setting for the foliowing reasons:
• High engine speeds are dangerous and increase the
risk of personal injury or damage to equipment,
• Low engine speeds impose a heavy load orr the engine
when sufficient engine power is not available and may
shorten engine life
• The generator will supply correct rated AC trequency
and voltage only at the proper speed Some connected
electrical devices could be damaged by incorrect fre
quency and/or voltage,
CARBURETOR
You may need to adjust the carburetor to compensate for
differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load Air
cleaner and air cleaner cover must be assembled to carbu
retor when you run the engine
NOTE: DO NOT remove the air cleaner when running the
engine Operation without the air cleaner fully assembled
and the air filter installed may cause engine damage
INITIAL ADJUSTiWIENT
• Gently turn IDLE MIXTURE valve (Fig 20) clockwise
until it just closes DO NOT FORCE Valve may be
damaged by turning it inward too far
o Next open IDLE MIXTURE valve 1-3/4 turns counter-
cloctavise
• This initial adjustment will permit the engine to be
startsd and warmed up
• Turn the valve to mid point between rich and lean
If further adjustment is needed, the main adjustment should
be made under a load condition as outlined under LOAD
ADJUSTMENT
I DAD Afl.Hl'iTMFNT
• Let engine accelerate to normal governed speed,
• Apply electrical loads to the generator at or near the
unit's full rated wattage/amperage capacity
• If the engine stops or hesitates under load, open the
IDLE MIXTURE screw 1/8 turn at a time. Test each
setting with the engine under load until engine runs
smoothly,
• If engine smokes excessively, turn the IDLE MIXTURE
SCREW clockwise 1/8 turn at a time until condition is
corrected,
• After IDLE MIXTURE SCREW is property sat, move
throttle to idle speed position. If engine does not idle
smoothly turn IDLE SPEED SCREW 1/8 turn at a time
(either direction) until engine runs smoothly
NOTE: Engines operated at altitudes at about 5000 feet or
higher may require that you install a high altitude carburetor
main jet (Part No 80883) to achieve best engine perform
ance If engine performs erratically, contact your Sears
Service Certter to install the high altitude jet
FINAL ADJUSTMENT
• Start engine and let it warm up for at least five minutes
» Hold the throttle against its idle stop (idle speed) and
then turn the IDLE MIXTURE valve slowly clockwise
1/8 turn at a time until the lean dropoff point is reached
(engine starts to miss and run erratically) Now turn the
IDLE MIXTURE valve counterclockwise until engine
speed begins to slow again (rich dropoff point)
