2.4 HOW TOUSETHEGENERATOR

If thereare any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-GENERAC.

2.4.1 GROUNDINGTHEGENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and

external electrically conductiveparts of this generator be
properlyconnectedto an approved earth ground (Figure 8).

Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. Forthat purpose, connectinga No. 10 AWG (AmericanWire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequateprotectionagainstelectricalshock. However,local codes
may vary widely. Consultwith a localelectricianfor grounding
requirementsin the area.

D

2.3.2 120/240VAC,30 AMPRECEPTACLE

Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle (rotate to lock!
unlock). Oonnecta suitable4-wire groundedcord set to the plug

andto thedesiredtoad.Thecordset should be ratedfor 250 Volts
ACat30 Amps (or greater)(Figure7).

Figure8 - Groundingthe Generator

Propergroundingofthe generatorwill help preventelectrical
shockin the event of a ground fault condition in the generator

or in connectedelectrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded

devices.

2.4.2 CONNECTINGELECTR/CALLOADS

DONOTconnect240 Volt loadsto 120Volt receptacles.DONOT
connect 3-phaseloads to the generator.DONOTconnect 50 Hz
loadsto thegenerator.

* Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after

starting.

* Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AO, single

phase,60 Hzelectricalloads.

* Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected

at onetime. This total should not be greaterthan (a) the rated
wattage/amperagecapacity of the generator or (b) circuit

breakerratingof thereceptaclesupplyingthe power.See"Don't
Overloadthe Generator".

2.5 DON'TOVEBLOADTHEGENEBATOB

Overloadinga generator in excess of its ratedwattage capacity
can result in damageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical

devices.Observethefollowing to preventoverloadingthe unit:

* Addupthetotal wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected

at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator'swattage capacity.

* The ratedwattage of lights can be takenfrom light bulbs. The

ratedwattageof tools, appliancesand motors can usually be

found on a data labelor decalaffixedto the device.

* If the appliance,toot or motor does not givewattage, multiply

voltstimes ampereratingto determinewatts (voltsx amps =

watts).

* Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about

threetimes morewatts of powerfor startingthan for running.

This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
such motors.Makesureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen
selectingelectrical devicesto connectto the generator:

1. Figurethe watts neededtostart the largestmotor.

2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.

TheWattageReferenceGuideis providedto assist in determining
how many items the generatorcan operateatonetime.

NOTE:

All figuresare approximate. See data label on appliance for
wattage requirements.

2.12CHARGINGTHEBATTERY(ELECTRICSTART

UNITSONLY)

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will

remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.

,_Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks

or any other source of heat around a battery.

Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and

rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely

corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with

clear water immediately.

NOTE:

The battery shipped withthe generator has been fully charged.

A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolongedperiodsof time. If the battery isunable to crankthe
engine, plugin the 12V chargerincludedin the accessory box

3.6 GENERAL

Thegeneratorshould be started at least once every 30 days and
be allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and

the unit must be stored for morethan 30 days, use thefollowing
informationas a guideto prepareitfor storage.

NEVER store engine with fuel in tank indoors
or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where

fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer

or other gas appliance.

,_AIIow unit to cool entirely before storage.

3.7 LONGTERMSTORAGE

It is importantto preventgum depositsfrom forming in essential
fuel systemparts such as the carburetor,fuel hose or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol,ethanolor methanol)can attract moisture,which
leadsto separationandformation of acids during storage.Acidic
gascan damagethe fuel systemof an enginewhile in storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
beforestorageof 30 daysor longer,asfollows:

Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool.

Do not smoke.

* Start and run engineuntil enginestops from lack of fuel.
* While engineis still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refillwith

recommendedgrade.

* Removespark plugandpour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine

oil into the cylinders. Coverspark plug hole with rag. Puttthe
recoil starter a couple times to lubricatethe piston rings and

cylinder bore.
