WARNING:

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

If this generator will be used only with cord and plug-connected
equipment, National Electric Code does not require that the unit
be grounded. However, other methods of using the generator
may require grounding to reduce the risk of shock or electro­cution. Consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances
to find out if grounding is needed in your situation before using
the generator.

When grounding is required, the nut and ground terminal on
the frame are used to connect the generator to a suitable
ground source. The ground path should be made with #8 size
wire. Connect the terminal of the ground wire between the lock
washer and the nut, and tighten the nut fully. Connect the other
end of the wire securely to a suitable ground source that is in contact with the soil for a minimum distance of 8 ft.

The National Electric Code contains several practical ways in which to establish a good ground source. If a steel
or iron rod is used, it should be at least 5/8 in. diameter, and if a nonferrous rod is used, it should be at least 1/2 in.
diameter and be listed as material for grounding. If a rock bottom is encountered before reaching a depth of 8 ft., drive
the ground rod in at an angle of up to 45°. If the rock bottom is again encountered, the rod can be buried in a trench
that is at least 30 in. deep. In all cases, the upper end of the grounding rod should either be flush with (or below) the
ground or must be otherwise protected from physical damage.

All electrical tools and appliances operated from this generator must be properly grounded by use of a third wire or
be “Double Insulated.”

It is recommended to:

1. Use electrical devices with 3-prong grounded plugs.

2. Use an extension cord intended for outdoor use with a 3-pole receptacle and a 3-prong plug at opposite ends to
ensure continuity of the ground protection from the generator to the appliance.

Check and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations relating to grounding specifications. Consult a
qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as
to whether the generator is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not start or operate the engine in a confined space,

DANGER:

Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN

KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon

monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you
are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the
exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

Never use a generator inside homes, garages,

crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up
in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows
and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away

from open windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered
or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the gen­erator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT
AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon mon­oxide poisoning.

WARNING:

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below could result in
electrocution, fire, and/or carbon monoxide poi­soning, which can cause death or serious injury.

WARNING:

In some applications, National Electric Code
requires generator to be grounded to an approved
earth ground. Before using the ground terminal,
consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector,
or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes
or ordinances that apply to the intended use of
the generator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions for this product
that should be followed during installation and maintenance
of the generator.

Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless



the generator and transfer switch have been properly
installed and the electrical output has been verified by
a qualified electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power and must comply with
all applicable laws and electrical codes.

Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this

unit.

building, near open windows, or in other unventilated
space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can
collect. Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, and
extremely dangerous gas, can cause unconsciousness
or death.

Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 10 feet

away.

Wear sturdy and dry shoes or boots. Do not operate while

barefoot.

Do not operate generator when you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

frayed, bare, or otherwise damaged.

Before storing, allow the engine to cool for 30 minutes

and drain fuel from the unit.

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or

wet weather.

Store the generator in a well-ventilated area with the fuel

tank empty. Fuel should not be stored near the generator.

Empty fuel tank, close fuel valve, and restrain the unit

from moving before transporting in a vehicle.

Provide a plastic sheet or absorbent pad below the

generator to catch any drips of fuel or lubricant when
transporting.

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with

care. It is highly flammable.

Do not smoke while handling fuel.
Store fuel in a container approved for gasoline.
Position the unit on level ground, stop engine, and allow

to cool for five minutes before refueling.

Loosen fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep

fuel from escaping around the cap.

Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circum-

stances.

Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the

use of the generator, inspect the generator as well as
extension cords and power supply cords connected to
it for damage resulting from vibration. Have damaged
items repaired or replaced as necessary. Do not use plugs
or cords that show signs of damage such as broken or
cracked insulation or damaged blades.

For power outages, permanently installed stationary

generators are better suited for providing back-up
power to the home. Even a properly connected portable
generator can become overloaded. This may result in
overheating or stressing the generator components,
possibly leading to generator failure.

NOTICE:

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.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

See Figure 1.

The 20 amp, 120 volt receptacles on the generator are
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
which guards against the hazards of ground fault currents.

An example of ground fault current is the current that would
flow through a person who is using an appliance with
faulty insulation and, at the same time, is in contact with
an electrical ground such as a plumbing fixture, wet floor,
or earth.

GFCI receptacles do not protect against short circuits,
overloads, or shocks.

The GFCI receptacles can be tested with the TEST and
RESET buttons.

To test:

Depress the TEST button. This should cause the Reset

button to pop out.
 To restore power, depress the RESET button.
Perform this test monthly to ensure proper operation of the

GFCI. If the generator is stored outdoors, unprotected from
the weather, test the GFCI receptacle before each use.

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. Selecttheitemsyouwillpoweratthesametime.
2. Totalthecontinuous(running)wattsoftheseitems.This

is 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.

OPERATION

DANGER:

Carbon Monoxide. Using a generator indoors CAN

KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
Generator exhaust contains high levels of carbon

monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas you cannot see or
smell. If you can smell the generator exhaust, you
are breathing CO. But even if you cannot smell the
exhaust, you could be breathing CO.

Never use a generator inside homes, garages,

crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas.
Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up
in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows
and doors does NOT supply enough fresh air.

ONLY use a generator outdoors and far away

from open windows, doors, and vents. These
openings can pull in generator exhaust.

Even when you use a generator correctly, CO may
leak into the home. ALWAYS use a battery-powered
or battery-backup CO alarm in the home.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak after the gen­erator has been running, move to fresh air RIGHT
AWAY. See a doctor. You could have carbon mon­oxide poisoning.

WARNING:

If this generator will be used only with cord and
plug-connected equipment, National Electric
Code does not require that the unit be grounded.
However, other methods of using the generator
may require grounding to reduce the risk of shock
or electrocution. Consult a qualified electrician,
electrical inspector, or local agency having juris­diction for local codes or ordinances to find out if
grounding is needed in your situation before using
the generator.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with this product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

the dipstick.

If level is low, add engine lubricant until the fluid level rises

to the upper portion of the dipstick.

Replace and secure the oil cap/dipstick.

USING FUEL STABILIZER

Fuel gets old, oxidizes, and breaks down over time. Adding
a fuel stabilizer (not included) extends the usable life of fuel
and helps prevent deposits from forming that can clog the
fuel system. Follow fuel stabilizer manufacturer’s directions
for correct ratio of stabilizer to fuel.

Mix fuel stabilizer and gasoline prior to filling the tank

by using a gas can or other approved fuel container and
shaking gently to combine.

NOTE: To control the amount of fuel stabilizer being add-

ed to the engine, always mix fuel stabilizer with gasoline
before fueling the tank rather than adding fuel stabilizer
directly into the generator’s fuel tank.

Replace and secure the fuel tank cap.
Start and run the engine for at least 5 minutes to allow

stabilizer to treat the entire fuel system.

ETHANOL-BLENDED FUELS
