13.Check the fuel system periodically for leaks or signs of deterioration such as chafed or spongy hose, loose or missing clamps, or damaged tank or cap. All defects should be corrected before operation.

14.The generator should be operated, serviced, and refueled only under the following conditions: a. Start and run the generator outdoors. Do

not run the generator 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, may 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 104º F ambient (40º 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.

15.Ensure that generator is properly grounded. (See

“Grounding the generator” section in this

manual.)

damage the generator or cause personal injury.

21.Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain all fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

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

SPARK ARRESTER

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. For more information, contact Pramac America, LLC, P.O. Box 6001, Kearney, Nebraska 68847. 1-800-445-1805.

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:

16.Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

17.Unit must reach operating speed before electrical loads are connected. Disconnect loads before turning off engine.

18.To prevent surging that may possibly damage

equipment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel when electrical loads are applied.

19.When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line Conditioner should be used to avoid possible damage to equipment.

20. Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even when the generator is not operating. This can

English Customer Hotline 1-800-445-1805

1. Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items simultaneously.

2. 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).

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.

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 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.

INSTALLATION

To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the residence electrical system is required.

Before temporary connection of the generator to the residence 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.

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 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.

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.)

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:

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.

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.

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.

Ground

Terminal

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

• 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.

English

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: 0071089

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.

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.

NOTICE: Warranty is Void if the necessary adjustments for

high altitude use are not made.

SERVICE AND STORAGE

INFREQUENT SERVICE

If the unit is used infrequently, difficult starting may result. To eliminate hard starting, follow these instructions:

1. Run the generator at least 30 minutes every month.

2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off valve and allow the unit to run until the engine stops.

3. Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.

LONG TERM STORAGE

When the generator set is not being operated or is being stored more than one month, follow these instructions:

1. Replenish engine oil to upper level.

2. Run the generator, then close the fuel shut-off valve and allow the unit to run until the engine stops.

3. Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.

4. After the unit has cooled, drain gasoline from fuel tank, fuel line and carburetor.

5. Pour about one teaspoon of engine oil 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.

6. Cover the unit and store in a clean, dry place that is well ventilated 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.
