DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
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.

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
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.

Customer Hotline 1-800-445-1805
POSITIONING
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
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.
