SAFETY RULES

SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER

Certain States and Jurisdictions require that engine driven equipment be fitted with spark arresting mufflers. Depending on the generator model, spark-arresting mufflers may or may not be fitted. If spark-arresting mufflers are required for your location and the generator muffler is not spark arresting, contact your local dealer for instructions for a retrofit.

SPARK ARRESTER

If the product will be used around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, forests, brush, grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark arrester should be installed and is legally required in the State of California. The California statutes requiring a spark arrester are Sections 13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark Arresters are also required on some U.S. Forest Service land and may also be legally required under other statutes and ordinances. An approved spark arrester is available from our product dealers, or may be ordered from DEWALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa Road, Baltimore, MD 21286. 1-888-431-6871.

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The exhaust emission control system for this generator complies with the standards set forth by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The respective engine manufacturers administer warranties for the exhaust emission system. Refer to the engine documentation for warranty information.

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

RISK OF ASPHYXIATION

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR WITHIN AN ENCLOSED AREA. THE EXHAUST GASES OF THIS GENERATOR EMIT “DEADLY” CARBON MONOXIDE. EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, HEADACHES, NAUSEA, SEVERE SICKNESS OR DEATH.

RISK OF ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK

THIS GENERATOR SET PRODUCES ELECTRICAL CURRENT. THEREFORE, SAFETY GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED. IMPROPER USE OF THIS GENERATOR CAN RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION, INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE, SERVICE OR REPAIR THIS GENERATOR UNLESS FULLY QUALIFIED TO DO SO.

THIS GENERATOR SET IS DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED IN DRY CONDITIONS AND FOR OUTDOOR AREAS ONLY. NEVER OPERATE THIS GENERATOR INDOORS. NEVER OPERATE THIS GENERATOR IN RAIN, SNOW, SLEET OR GENERALLY WET CONDITIONS. DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR, BODILY INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT FROM ELECTROCUTION.

IF THIS GENERATOR IS CONNECTED TO A BUILDING, HOME, BUSINESS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT NORMALLY FED BY UTILITY POWER, STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO INSURE THE GENERATOR OUTPUT AND THE UTILITY POWER ARE POSITIVELY ISOLATED. THIS IS TYPICALLY ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE USE OF A PROPERLY INSTALLED TRANSFER SWITCH. FAILURE TO ISOLATE THE UTILITY AND GENERATOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN GENERATOR DAMAGE AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO UTILITY WORKERS DUE TO THE BACKFEED OF ELECTRICITY.

English

0068660

TO AVOID BACKFEEDING INTO UTILITY SYSTEMS, ISOLATION OF THE RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS REQUIRED. BEFORE CONNECTION OF A GENERATOR TO THE RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH. BEFORE MAKING PERMANENT CONNECTIONS A DOUBLE THROW TRANSFER SWITCH MUST BE INSTALLED. TO AVOID ELECTROCUTION OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ONLY A TRAINED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD CONNECT GENERATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES ISOLATION OF THE RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEFORE CONNECTING A GENERATOR TO RESIDENCE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. TEMPORARY CONNECTION NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO BACKFEEDING.

ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS THAT APPLY TO THE INSTALLATION OF ANY ITEM THAT CONCERNS THIS PRODUCT.

1.NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code.

2.NFPA 37 - Standard for Installation and Use of Stationary Combustible Engines.

3.Agricultural Wiring handbook of Farm Standby Electric Power.

DO NOT MODIFY OR MISAPPLY YOUR GENERATOR SET. OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR OTHER THAN INTENDED COULD RESULT IN GENERATOR SET DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION.

NEVER TOUCH A RECEPTACLE OR BARE WIRE. ELECTROCUTION OR SHOCK COULD RESULT.

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

ALWAYS INSURE THAT AT LEAST 6 FEET OF CLEARANCE ON ALL SIDES OF THE GENERATOR ARE MAINTAINED DURING OPERATION. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLEARANCE COULD DAMAGE YOUR GENERATOR AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO FIRES.

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND ITS VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE. FAILURE TO PROPERLY HANDLE GASOLINE CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. DO NOT PERMIT SMOKING WITHIN 50FT OF THIS GENERATOR SET.

NEVER REFILL A HOT GENERATOR WITH FUEL. NEVER REFILL THE GENERATOR WHILE IT IS RUNNING. SPILLAGE ONTO THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. ALWAYS ALLOW THE GENERATOR SET TO COOL BEFORE REFILLING.

DO NOT STORE THIS GENERATOR SET IN ANY LOCATION WHERE GASOLINE FUMES COULD POTENTIALLY COME INTO CONTACT WITH SPARKS, A PILOT LIGHT OR AN OPEN FLAME. IMPROPER STORAGE OF THIS GENERATOR COULD RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.

INSPECT THE SPARK ARRESTOR PERIODICALLY. SPARK ARRESTORS ARE REQUIRED IN SOME AREAS AND MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE FROM SPARKS EMMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR IF THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 104ºF/40ºC.

DO NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE GENERATOR. THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOADS AT EACH OUTLET MUST BE ADDED TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL ELECTRICAL LOAD. THE TOTAL LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE GENERATOR. IF THE DRIVEN APPARATUS DOES NOT LIST WATTAGE, BUT ONLY AMPERAGE, WATTAGE MAY BE DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING AMPERAGE TIMES VOLTAGE (WATTS = AMPS X VOLTS).

GENERAL SAFETY

Always follow National and Local electrical codes pertaining to generators. All local and national codes supersede rules or information provided in this manual.

REFER TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES TO DETERMINE GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS AS THIS CAN VARY PER APPLICATION. THE GENERATOR IS GROUNDED INTERNALLY NEUTRAL TO FRAME. WHERE APPLICATIONS REQUIRE EXTERNAL GROUNDING, A CONNECTION MUST BE MADE FROM THE GENERATOR TO A SOLID EARTH GROUND. A CONTINUOUS LENGTH OF SPLICE-FREE COPPER CABLE, NO SMALLER THAN 6 AWG, SHALL BE USED FOR THE CONDUCTOR.

RISK OF BODILY INJURY

KEEP HANDS, BODY PARTS, HAIR AND CLOTHING AWAY FROM THE “HOT” PARTS OF THE GENERATOR SET DURING AND AFTER OPERATION. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND THE GENERATOR IN GENERAL, CAN REMAIN VERY HOT EVEN AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN.

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE-GOVERNED SPEED. THE GENERATOR OPERATES AT A NOMINAL SPEED OF 3600 RPM. INCREASES IN SPEED OVER THE 3600 RPM NOMINAL WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO ROTATIONAL STRESSES ON THE ROTATING MEMBERS. OPERATION OF THE GENERATOR AT SPEEDS BELOW THE NOMINAL 3600 RPM COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GENERATOR OR DRIVEN APPARATUS DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT.

BATTERY SAFETY

STORAGE BATTERIES PRODUCE AND RELEASE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS WHEN CHARGING. THE SLIGHTEST SPARK, FLAME OR BURNING ASH CAN IGNITE THESE GASES CAUSING A SERIOUS EXPLOSION THAT COULD RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR OTHER SERIOUS INJURIES. WEAR EYE PROTECTION, RUBBER APRON AND RUBBER GLOVES WHEN WORKING AROUND A BATTERY OR PERFORMING BATTERY SERVICE. BATTERY FLUID IS AN EXTREMELY CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE (-) BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE PERFORMING BATTERY SERVICE OR BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ELECTRICAL SERVICE ON THE GENERATOR OR ENGINE.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

INSPECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM REGULARLY TO ENSURE IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. LEAKY EXHAUST SYSTEMS WILL INCREASE NOISE LEVELS.

DIRECT THE “LOUD” SIDES OF THE GENERATOR INTO OPEN SPACES AVOIDING REVERBERATION FROM WALLS OR BUILDINGS THUS AMPLIFYING THE SOUND.

NOTICE: NEVER DRAIN OR DISPOSE OF ENGINE OIL INTO THE GROUND OR DOMESTIC WASTE WATER SYSTEMS.

LIFTING HOOK ASSEMBLY

Attach the lifting hook (A) to the carrier with 3/8 x 2.00” bolts

(B) and 3/8 nyloc nuts (C) as shown in the illustration. Tighten the bolts firmly.

RAISING OR SUSPENDING GENERATOR

OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

This manual has been prepared to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of this product. Study the information provided carefully to avoid problems associated with improper application or maintenance. Upon receipt of your generator, verify that it is complete and in good condition.

The generator is comprised of a 4 stroke, air-cooled engine directly coupled to a 2 pole alternator producing either 125VAC or 125/250VAC depending on model. The no-load speed is approximately 3750rpm with the speed under load going to approximately 3600rpm thus producing a frequency of 60Hz.

INITIAL INSPECTION

Upon receiving your generator set, inspect the product to make sure it is complete and in good condition. Handle with care and place in a suitable site for storage or operation.

GROUND CONNECTION

The generator should be grounded to earth to reduce the risk of electrical shock. To do this you will need a grounding rod and an appropriately sized copper ground wire. Drive the ground rod into the earth, connect one end of the copper wire to the rod and connect the other end to the external ground connection on the generator set. This is a general explanation, consult National and Local electrical codes to ensure compliance.

GENERATOR NEUTRAL BOND

There is a permanent conductor between the generator (stator winding) and the frame.

BEFORE START-UP

ENGINE FUEL

Use Unleaded Gasoline with minimum Octane 86. Check the fuel gauge and add as necessary.

•SLOWLY ADD UNLEADED GASOLINE TO FUEL TANK

•DO NOT OVERFILL TANK

•DO NOT FILL ABOVE TOP OF FUEL SCREEN. THIS WILL ALLOW EXPANSION IN HOT WEATHER AND PREVENT OVERFLOW.

ENGINE OIL

The engine manual or other information provided by the engine manufacturer supersedes data provided here. Proper oil grade varies with climate. The grade listed in the table is typically a good grade but consult the engine manual to verify proper grade. The oil fill ports are located on both sides of the engine. The gray filler cap has an integral dipstick. Add the proper amount of oil and check the level using the dipstick. NOTE: The dipstick should be placed into the filler opening but not screwed in to check the level.
