HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR
Ifyou have any problemsoperating your Generator,
please call the Generator helplineat 1-800-222o3136.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR.
The NationalElectricalCode requiresthat the frame and
extemal electricallyconductiveparts of this generator be
properlyconnected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes may also require proper groundingof the
unit. For that purpose,a groundinglug is providedon the
base of the cradle.
Generally, connectinga No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the groundinglugand to
an earth-drivencopper or brass groundingrod (electrode)
providesadequate protectionagainstelectrical shock.
However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a
• local electricianfor groundingrequirements in your area.
Proper groundingof generator will help prevent electrical
shock in the event of a groundfault condition inthe gen-
eratoror in connected electricaldevices. Proper ground-
ingalso helps dissipatestatic electricity,whichoften
buildsup in ungrounded devices.
BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR
To operate the engine you willneed to do the following:
• Place generator on a level surface.
• Clean area around oil filland remove oilfillcap
• Wipe cap dean.
• Pour oil into oilfill opening untiloilreaches the point
of overflowing. Do not overfill!
Add Gasoline
A
• Use regular UNLEADED gasoline withthe Generator
• Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
• Add unleaded regulargasoline,slowlyto fuel tank. Be
• Installfuel cap and wipe up any spilled gasoline.
IMPORTANT: It isimportantto preventgum deposits
from forming in essentialfuel system partssuch as the
carburetor,fuel filter, fuel hose or tankduringstorage.
Also, experience indicatesthat alcohol-blendedfuels
(called gasohol, ethanolor methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of acids during
storage.Acidic gas can damage the fuel systemof an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems,the
fuel system should be emptied before storageof 30 days
or longer. See "Storage"on page 12. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner productsin the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.

DON'T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR ..
Overloadinga generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
connected electricaldevices. Observe the following, to
preventoverloadingthe unit:
, Add up the total wattage of all electricaldevices 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.
• If the appliance, tool or motordoes not give wattage,
multiply volts times ampere ratingto determinewatts
(voltsx amps = watts).
WATTAGE REFERENCE GUIDE
Some electric motors,such as inductiontypes,
requireabout two and a half times more watts of
powerfor startingthan for running. This surge of
powerlasts onlya few seconds when startingsuch

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustmentssectionof
this manual should be made at least once each season.
Followthe requirementsin the "Maintenance Schedule"
chartabove.
Note: Once a year you should clean or replace the spark
plugand replace the air filter. A new spark plug and
clean air filter assure properfuel-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
environmentwhere itwill not be exposedto excessive
dust,dirt, moistureor any corrosivevapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with
snow, leaves, or any other foreign material.
Check the cleanlinessof the generator frequently and
clean when dust, dirt, oil, moistureor other foreign sub-
stances are visibleon 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 addition,ifwater enters the gen-
eratorthroughcoolingair slots, some of the water willbe
retained in voidsand cracks ofthe rotorand stator wind-
ing insulation. Water and dirt buildup on the generator
internalwindingswill eventually decrease the insulation
resistanceof these windings.
A AUTION: Never Insert any object or tool I
through the air cooling slots, even if the
engine is not running.

new utility and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's
stringent anti-smog standards. Sears must warrant the emission control system on your lawn and garden
equipment engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your lawn and garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system includes parts such as the carburetor and the ignitionsystem.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Sears will repair your lawn and garden equipment engine at no cost to
you. Expenses covered under under warranty include diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage

sion related part on your engine (as listed below) is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Sears.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your owners manual. Sears recommends that you retain all receipts covering mainte-
nance on your lawn and garden equipment engine, but Sears cannot deny warranty solely due for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you should be aware that Sears may deny you warranty
coverage if your lawn and garden equipment engine or a part of it has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, unapproved modifications, or the use of parts not made or approved by the original equipment
manufacturer.
You are responsible for presenting your lawn and garden equipment engine to a Sears authorized repair cen-
ter as soon as a problem exists. Warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your nearest
authorized service center or call Sears at 1-800-473-7247.
Warranty Commencement Date
The warranty period begins on the date the lawn and garden equipment engine is delivered.
Length of Coverage
Sears warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the engine is free from defects in
materials and workmanship which cause the failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.
