Extension Cords
Grounded1. tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord.
If you are using one extension cord 5.
for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum
cord size.
(See Table A.)
As the distance from the supply outlet 2.
increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
(See Table A.)
The smaller the gauge number of the 3.
wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord.
(See Table A.)
When using more than one exten-4.
sion cord to make up the total length,
make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required.
(See Table A.)
If you are using an extension cord 6.
outdoors, make sure it is marked with
the sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
Make sure the extension cord is prop-7.
erly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualied electrician before using it.
Protect the extension cords from 8.
sharp objects, excessive heat, and
damp or wet areas.

Equipment Operation
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS INJURY
AND DEATH:
DO NOT CONNECT
GENERATOR DIRECTLY TO
HOUSEHOLD WIRING.
A portable electric generator
that is connected to your
household wiring without a
proper cut off switch can
‘back feed’ into the power
lines connected to your home.
Power created by your
generator can injure or even
kill a utility lineman making
outage repairs many miles
away.
Only a certied electrician can
safely connect the generator
to your home’s wiring.
Make sure your generator is properly 1.
grounded to avoid electrical shocks.
Connect a 10 GA. or larger insulated
copper wire to the Ground Connection on the Control Panel. Connect this wire to a suitable external
ground, such as a metal stake in the
ground.
Don’t overload the generator. The 2.
total wattage used by the appliances
should be less than the output rating
of the generator. If you put too many
appliances on the generator, it could
seriously damage the appliances and
electronics. Overloading the gen-
erator could also cause res in the
power cord. This generator is rated at
3000 / 3500 Watts. NOTE: At startup, appliances draw more power in a
surge than they do during continuous
operation. When guring total wattage of all appliances connected to
this generator, use the higher start-up
amperage rating of each appliance.
Do not exceed the current limit speci-3.
ed for any one receptacle.
Move the AC Circuit Breaker switch 4.
to the ON position.
Plug in your extension cord or appli-5.
ance.
Be sure that all appliances are in 6.
good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally,
becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly,
turn off the circuit breaker and the
generator engine switch immediately.
Then disconnect the appliance and
examine it for signs of malfunction.
Note: If an overloaded circuit causes the
AC circuit breaker to switch off, reduce the electrical load on the circuit
and wait a few minutes before resetting the circuit breaker.
The DC terminal may be used to op-7.
erate 12 Volt DC portable appliances
only.
CAUTION! Do not use this generator to charge 12VDC batteries.
Directly charging a 12 Volt battery
may cause the battery to overheat
and possibly explode.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to start
an automobile engine with this
generator. Voltage back feed from
the alternator may damage the
generator.
Note: The DC terminal may be used while
the AC power is in use. An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit
protector (push button comes out).
If this happens, wait a few minutes
Page 11For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.SKU 65414
Page 12
before pushing in the circuit protector
to resume operation.
Disconnect all loads from the 8.
generator before shutting off. To
prevent accidents, turn off the engine
and disconnect its spark plug wire
after use. Wait for the engine to cool,
clean external parts with clean cloth,
then store the equipment out of children’s reach according to the Storage
instructions in this manual.

chipped, the spark plug needs to be
replaced.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Lubrication Schedule
Note: This maintenance schedule is
intended solely as a general guide.
If performance decreases or if equipment operates unusually, check systems immediately. The maintenance
needs of each piece of equipment will
differ depending on factors such as
duty cycle, temperature, air quality,
fuel quality, and other factors.

Change engine oil.a.
When installing a new spark plug, ad-4.
just the plug’s gap to the specication
on the Technical specication chart.
Do not pry against the electrode or
the insulator, the spark plug can be
damaged.
Install the new spark plug or the 5.
cleaned spark plug into the engine.
Gasket-style: Finger-tighten until the
gasket contacts the cylinder head,
then about 1/2-2/3 turn more.
Non-gasket-style: Finger-tighten until
the plug contacts the head, then
about 1/16 turn more.
Apply dielectric spark plug boot 6.
protector (not included) to the end of
the spark plug and reattach the wire
securely.
Every 25 Operation Hours Thereafter:
Clean/replace air lter element.a.
Inspect/clean spark plug.b.
Every 50 Operation Hours:
Change engine oil.a.
Replace fuel lter (if equipped).b.
Check spark plug. Clean and re-gap c.
as needed.
Every 100 Operation Hours:
Replace spark plug.a.
Replace air lter element.b.
Clean fuel tank and fuel strainer.c.
Note: All maintenance procedures sched-
uled for 25, 50, and 100 operation
hours should be performed at least
yearly.

Storage
Wait for engine to cool, then clean 1.
engine with clean cloth.
When the equipment is to remain idle 2.
for longer than 20 days, prepare the
engine for storage as follows:
Change engine oil and empty fuel a.
tank.
Either leave fuel tank empty or b.
rell fuel tank with fresh unleaded
gasoline mixed with a fuel stabilizer
intended for long term engine stor-
age (not included). After lling, run
engine for about 5-10 minutes to circulate the treated gasoline through
the carburetor. Wait for engine to
cool before proceeding.
Before starting the engine after stor-5.
age, keep in mind that untreated gasoline will deteriorate quickly. Drain
the fuel tank and lter, and change
to fresh fuel if untreated gasoline has
been sitting for a month, if treated
gasoline has been sitting beyond the
fuel stabilizer’s recommended time
period, or if the engine does not start
properly.
Clean out area around spark plug. c.
Remove spark plug and pour one
tablespoon of engine oil into cylinder
through spark plug hole.
Reinstall spark plug, but leave spark d.
plug wire disconnected.
Pull recoil starter to distribute oil in e.
cylinder. Stop after one or two revolutions when you feel the piston start
the compression stroke (when you
start to feel resistance).
Disconnect battery cables (if f.
equipped).
Apply a thin coat of rust preventive oil 3.
to all uncoated metal parts.
Cover and store in a dry, well-ventilat-4.
