11. Fire and Explosion Hazards:

a. LP Gas is potentially hazardous and highly

EXPLOSIVE.

b.LP Gas under pressure is highly flammable

and can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.

c. LP gas is heavier than air and can accumulate in confined spaces and low places in the event of a leak.

d.An odorant is added to LP Gas to help

minimize risk in the event of a leak.

e. In the event of an LP Gas fire, flames should

not be extinguished unless doing so allows the fuel supply valve to be turned OFF.

f. If a fire is extinguished and the fuel supply is

not turned OFF, an explosion hazard could be created that is greater than the fire hazard.

g.When exchanging LP Gas tanks, make sure

poisoning.

b.Good ventilation for cooling. Air flow and temperatures are important for air cooled units. Temperatures should not exceed 104º F ambient (40º C).

c. Connect or disconnect the LP Gas tank only in a well lighted area. Allow engine to cool for two minutes prior to replacing the LP Gas tank.

d.Do not install or replace the LP Gas tank near open flames, pilot lights, or sparking electrical equipment such as power tools, welders, and grinders.

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 running one or more of the following solid state items:

Garage door openers Kitchen appliances with digital displays Televisions Stereos Personal computers Quartz clocks Copy machines Telephone equipment

Other solid state equipment may require a power line conditioner. For more information, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-445-1805.

3. Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.

1 KW = 1,000 watts.

4. 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 starting equipment powered by electric motors.

5. The generator’s rated watts should match or exceed the total number of watts required for the equipment you want to run.

6. Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then add other items one at a time.

BEFORE OPERATION

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI) PROTECTION Some jobsites and local codes may require GFCI

protection for personnel before operation of your generator. If your generator is not already equipped with a GFCI receptacle, GFCI In-line cord sets may be purchased from your local electrical supply store or home builder appliance store. These cord sets are available in various plug and amperage configurations. (Make sure your generator is

properly Grounded.)

LOW OIL SENSOR

The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a warning device or stop the engine. If generator shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.

LP GAS TANK

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

Terminal

• Do not use or store LP Gas tank in a building, garage or enclosed area except as authorized by NFPA 58 or CSA B149.2 (Canada).

• Do not check for leaks with a match or flame.

• The LP Gas tank valve should be OFF (closed) when the generator is not in use.

• Regulator inlet pressure range: 30 to 100 psi from LP

Gas tank.

• LP Gas tank: Standard 20 or 30 pound capacity with Type 1 right hand Acme threads. Do not use tanks that are rusted or damaged. Verify that the re-qualification dated on the tank is not expired. Use only DOT cylinders conforming to 4BA, 4BW, and 4E.

• Purging LP Gas tanks: The purging process should be done by your LP Gas supplier. New tanks must be purged of air and moisture before filling. Used cylinders must also be purged if they have not been plugged or kept closed.

Do not use a pipe carrying combustible material as the ground source.

LUBRICATION DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the

crank case with the proper amount and type of oil. Your generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine. Fill the engine with oil according to the operator manual. For units with a dipstick, fill oil to the proper level. Units without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening of the oil fill.

English

• Remove the safety plug or cap from the tank fuel valve.

• Never allow children to tamper or play with the fuel tank

or generator.

Contact with the liquid contents of the LP Gas tank will cause freeze burns to the skin.

Customer Hotline 1-800-445-1805

POSITIONING

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

• Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to prevent it from sinking.

• Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance from the generator set.

• Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from the weather.

• Place the generator set safely away from people and animals.

CAUTION: TILTING CAN CAUSE FUEL SPILLAGE

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your engine at altitudes above 914 meters (3,000 feet), have your authorized service center perform a carburetor modification. HIGH ALTITUDE KIT PART NUMBER: 0070988

Even with a carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 300 meter (1,000 foot) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater if no carburetor modification is made. A decrease in engine horsepower will decrease the power output of the generator.

NOTICE: Warranty is Void if the necessary adjustments for high altitude use are not made.

When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air-fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. If the generator is used at low altitudes after a carburetor modification, the carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage. For use at low altitudes, have your authorized service center return the carburetor to original factory specifications.
