MAJOR GENERATOR FEATURES

FUEL TANK VENTING

*3.5 HP Briggs & Stratton engine

*Receptacles on endbell

*1.35 gallon plastic fuel tank

*Spark arrester

*Brushless generator

ENDBELL

A .120 V, 15 Ampere Duplex Receptacles

This duplex is split so that 15 amps of current may be
drawn from each half of the receptacle. However, total power
drawn must be kept within nameplate ratings.

B.Circuit Breaker

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 tripping of the circuit breaker may cause
damage to generator or equipment. The circuit breaker may

be reset by pushing the button of the breaker.

CAUTION: Keep fuel tank area free of all
debris, water, and ice. Do not block vent.
“Tank must breathe.”

SPARK ARRESTER MUFFLER

This engine is equipped with a U.S. Forest Service
approved spark arrest muffler. It should periodically be cleaned
to prevent the screen from becoming clogged, which could
hamper engine performance.

To clean, remove the muffler shield. Remove the four
screws and pull the plate with the screen attached. Clean off
any particles with a brush and reinstall. Be sure gasket is in
place.

branchés dessus peuvent se trouver abîmés si le
disjoncteur saute continuellement. Appuyer sur le bouton du
