rioration such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing
clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All defects should be corrected before operation.
The generator should be operated, serviced, and refueled
only under the following conditions:
a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do not run the gen-
erator in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are
open; avoid areas where vapors may be trapped, such as
pits, garages, cellars, excavations and boat bilges.
DANGER:
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD: The engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous, odorless,
invisible gas which, if breathed, can cause death or
serious personal injury. If you start to feel sick, dizzy
or weak while using the generator, shut it off and get to fresh
air right away; you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
b. Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and temperatures are
important for air cooled units. Temperatures should not
exceed 104°F ambient (40°C).
c. Refuel the generator in a well lighted area. Avoid fuel spills
and never refuel while the generator is running. Allow
engine to cool for two minutes prior to refueling.
d. Do not refuel near open flames, pilot lights, or sparking
electrical equipment such as power tools, welders, and
grinders.
e. The muffler and air cleaner must be installed and in good
condition at all times as they function as flame arresters if
backfiring occurs.
f. Do not smoke near the generator.
3
Ensure that generator is properly grounded. (See
“Grounding the generator” section in this manual.)
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
Unit must reach operating speed before electrical
loads are connected. Disconnect loads before turning off engine.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage equip-
ment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line
Conditioner should be used to avoid possible damage to equipment.
Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even
when the generator is not operating. This can damage the generator or cause personal injury.
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain
all fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.
Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
generator from site to site. Improper lifting techniques may result in personal injury.
To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other
engine or generator surfaces which became hot during operation.
Do not alter or modify the heat shield.
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH A
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. 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 Homelite Consumer Products, Inc., 1428 Pearman Dairy Road, Anderson, SC 29625,
1-800-242-4672.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
CAUTION:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic
equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed
to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz
frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To
avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into
the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television
set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for
some solid state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when any of the
following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the
connected load. To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items simul-
taneously.
Check wattage requirements for the items you will be running
by referring to the load’s nameplate or by calculating it (multiply amps x volts = watts).
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts
and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 KW = 1,000 watts
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated
wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2-1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for start-
ing equipment powered by electric motors.
The generator’s rated watts should match or exceed the total
number of watts required for the equipment you want to run.
Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then
add other items one at a time.

ELECTRICAL
GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will
power at the same time. Follow these simple steps.
1. Selecttheitemsyouwillpoweratthesametime.
2. Total thecontinuous (running) watts of these items. Thisis
the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the
items running. See the wattage reference chart at right.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start
electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular
saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same
time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total
rated watts from step 2.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
the generator. There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct
and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially
add loads as follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as
described later in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load
you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly
and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity
as previously described.

volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the
total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.
C. Circuit Breakers
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electrical loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before
attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the
circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE: Continuous trip-
ping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator
or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the
button of the breaker.
D. Cord Retainer
The cord retainer is used to prevent plugs from being pulled
out of the 120-volt receptacles.

INSTALLATION
WARNING:
To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage,
registered electrician or an authorized service representative
should perform installation and all service. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire
into a utility circuit.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required.
Before temporary connection of the generator to the resi-
dence electrical system, turn off the main service/disconnect.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source
in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a registered electrician and in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be
installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building’s
electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power
and the generator’s output, thereby preventing backfeed into
the power utility’s electrical system.
WARNING:
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required. Before temporary
connection of a generator to the residence electrical system
turn off the main switch. Before making permanent connections
a double throw transfer switch 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.
BEFORE OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the frame
of the generator has been provided for this purpose. Connecting
a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire between
the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground should provide a suitable ground connection. However,
consult with a local electrician to insure that local codes are
being adhered to.
GROUND TERMINAL LOCATION:
ground lug
WARNING:
Do not use a pipe as the ground source.
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to
the installation of any item that concerns this product.
9
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the crank
case with the proper amount and type of lubricant. (See the
accompanying engine manual for this information.) Your generator has been shipped from the factory without lubricant in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without lubricant can damage the
engine.
Fill the engine with lubricant according to the engine manual. For units with a dipstick, fill lubricant to the proper level.
Units without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening
of the lubricant fill.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline.
Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high octane
rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We recommend
always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the
formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the
gasoline in a storage container. Do not use E85 fuel.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/4 inch
below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in
hot weather and prevent overflow.
STARTING THE UNIT
WARNING:
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury or death can result
from fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.
Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
Do not mix lubricant with gasoline.
Follow all instructions and warnings in the engine
manual.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during
shipment.
WARNING:
This generator must not be operated without all factory installed
heat shields in place. Failure to comply may cause the fuel
tank to overheat and result in personal injury from fire.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Check lubricant level and fuel.
Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.
Open fuel shut off valve.
Adjust choke as necessary.
Set the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Pull on the starter rope with fast steady pull. As the engine
warms up, readjust the choke.
DANGER:
Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area, even
if door or windows are open.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting
or death.
CAUTION:
Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each
initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize.
10
APPLYING LOAD
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full
capacity. When starting the generator, disconnect all load. Apply
load only after generator is running. Voltage is regulated via the
engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct output. Readjusting will void warranty.
CAUTION:
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage
rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one
receptacle.
SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF
Remove entire electrical load.
Let the engine run for a few minutes without load.
Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Do not leave the generator until it has completely stopped.
Close the fuel shut off valve if the engine is to be put in stor-
age or transported.
If cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Controlled break-in helps insure proper engine and generator operation. Follow engine procedure outlined in engine
manual.
CAUTION:
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the
first two to three hours of operations).
MAINTENANCE
GENERATOR: BRUSHES (BRUSH TYPE UNITS ONLY)
The brushes in the generator should be inspected once
every year for chips and cracks. Brushes should be replaced
when they are worn to 1/4 inch (7 mm).
NOTE: Replace brushes in sets only, never separately.
INSPECTING THE BRUSHES:
Remove cover plate (R).
Remove 4 stator bolts (U)
and endbell.
Remove screws holding
the protective plate on the
inside of the endbell.
Disconnect the green (–) or
blue (+) brush wires from
the tab.
Remove brush mounting screws (S).
Slide brushes (T) from holders.
Replace if worn to 1/4 inch (7mm).
Do not over tighten screws.
NOTE: Replace only with brushes specified in parts list.
Other brushes may appear to be identical but may have completely different mechanical and electrical characteristics.
HEAT SHIELD:
Inspect to ensure that all heat shields and heat deflectors
are intact and in place. Do not remove any parts or modify parts.
Removing or modifying parts could cause serious damage to
the unit.
ENGINE: Carburetor Icing
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions may
develop which will cause an icing condition in the carburetor. If
this develops, the engine may run rough, lose power, and may
stall.
QUICK STARTING TIPS FOR UNITS THAT HAVE BEEN
SITTING FOR AWHILE:
If your unit has been sitting around for a long time period
and is hard to start, try doing some of these easy steps before
calling Customer Service.
Check the lubricant level.
Replace the old fuel.
Change the spark plug.
Check the fuel lines. Make sure the fuel valve is open.
Check all generator parts for integrity.
Clean the carburetor. (See engine manual for service
centers)
11
SERVICE AND STORAGE
LIMITED WARRANTY
INFREQUENT SERVICE
If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result.
to eliminate hard starting, run the generator at least 30 minutes
every month. Also, if the unit will not be used for some time, it is
a good idea to drain the fuel from the carburetor and gas tank.
LONG TERM STORAGE
When the generator set is not being operated or is being
stored more than one month, follow these instructions:
Replenish engine lubricant to upper level.
Drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.
a) Turn the engine switch off ( O ).
b) Closefuelvalve.
c) Remove the fuel linefrom the petcock by squeezingthe
ends of the retaining clip and sliding the fuel line off.
d) Installoneendofadrainlineoverthepetcock,andplace
the other end in a fuel container large enough to catch the
fuel being drained from the tank.
e) Openfuelvalve.
f) When the fuelhas drainedfrom the tank, close thefuel
valve and reinstall fuel line on petcock.
Pour about one teaspoon of engine lubricant through the
spark plug hole, pull the recoil starter several times and
replace the plug. Then pull the starter until you feel the piston is on its compression stroke and leave it in that position.
This closes both the intake and exhaust valves to prevent the
inside of the cylinder from rusting.
Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well ven-
tilated away from open flame or sparks.
NOTE: We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer.
A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to
the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage
container.
