EMISSION CONTROLSYSTEM INFORMATION

The U.S.and California CleanAir Acts

EPAand California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emis-
sion control systems.Thefollowing instructions and procedures must

befollowed in order to keepthe emissions from your STANLEYengine
within the emission standards. Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and systems may beperformed by any

engine repair establishment or individual, usingparts that are
"certified" to EPAstandards.

Models: G5000S& G8000S

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

productive harm.

CARBONMON0XlOE GAS

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can cause loss of consciousness
and may lead to death. To keep exhaust gas from accumulating,
use in an area with adequate ventilation. DONOT use this genera-

tor in a garage, basement, crawlspace, enclosed shed, or any

other area that does not have adequate ventilation. DO NOT use

this generator near ventilation ducts or open windows that may

allow exhaust gasses to enter your home or business. ONLY
operate this generator outdoors.

SAFETYLABEL LOCATIONS

standthe useof all generator controls, output receptacles, and con-
nections. Be sure that anyonewho operates the generator receives

proper instruction. Donot let children operate the generator.

Electocution hazard - Electricity can cause DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.

• Donot operate the generator in standing water.

• Thisproduct is not safe to operate when partially or totally sub-
merged in water.

• Properly ground the generator and verify ground is in place be-

fore each use. Grounding regulations vary by location, consult a

qualified local electrician for proper grounding instructions.

• Power cords and electrical equipment pose arisk of shock and
electrocution, especially if they are operated in wet conditions.

Inspect all equipment prior to every use and use only as directed
bythe manufacturer.

• Usea cord with GFCIprotection when using the power outdoors
or when moisture is present.

• Generators vibrate in normal use. During and after the use ofthe
generator, inspect the generator as well as extension cords and
power supply cords connected to itfor damage resulting from

vibration. Have damaged items repaired or replaced as neces-

Fire and Burn Hazards

The exhaust systemgets hot enough to ignite some materials.

• Keepthe generator at least 3 feet (1meter) away from buildings
andother equipment during operation.

• Donot enclose the generator in any structure.

• Donot smoke when refueling.

• Keepflammable materials away from the generator.

• The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for
awhile after stopping the engine. Be careful not to touch the muf-

fler while it is hot.

• Letthe engine cool before storing the generator indoors.

• Refuelin a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.

• Fuelvapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the en-
gine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped
up before starting the generator.

Generator must be installed by a qualified electrician and con-
nected to transfer equipment as a separately derived system in ac-

cordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. The generator

shall be connected through transfer equipmentthat switches all

conductors other than the equipment grounding conductor. The

frame of the generator shall be connected to an approved grounding
electrode.

Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow

electrical current from the generator to backfeed into the utility

lines. Such backfeed may electrocute utility company workers or
others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the gen-
erator may explode, burn, or cause fires when utility power is re-

stored.

Ground System
STANLEYportable generators havea system ground that connects gen-

erator frame components to the ground terminals inthe AC output re-

ceptacles. Thesystem ground is connected to the AC neutral wire.

Special Requirements
There may beFederal or State Occupational Safety and Health Admini-
stration (0SHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the

intended use ofthe generator. Pleaseconsult a qualified electrician,

electrical inspector, orthe local agency havingjurisdiction.

This generator does not meet USCoast Guard regulation 33 0FR-183
and should not be used on marine applications.

WARNINGS

Models: G5000S& G8000S

AC Applications

Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

1. Make sure that appliances are in good working order.
Faultyappliances orpower cords can create a potential for
electrical shock. If an appliance beginsto operate abnor-
mally,becomes sluggish or stops suddenly,turn it off imme-
diately.

2. Disconnectthe appliance, and determine whetherthe prob-
lemisthe appliance, or ifthe rated load capacity of the
generator has been exceeded.

3. Make sure thatthe electrical rating ofthe tool or appliance
doesnot exceed that ofthe generator. Never exceed the
maximumpower rating of the generator. Power levels be-

tween rated and maximum may be used for nomorethan 30

minutes.

Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Ex-
ceeding the time limit for maximumpower operation or
slightly overloading the generator maynot switch the circuit
breaker or circuit protector OFF,but will shorten the service

life of the generator.

Limit operation requiring maximumpower to 30minutes. For
continuous operation (longer than 30minutes), do not exceed

80%of the rated power balanced equally on the A&B sides of
the Alternator.

Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and pre-
cautions can cause serious injuries or death. Always follow

the inspection and maintenance recommendations and

schedules in this owner's manual.

Safety Precautions:
Make sure the engine is off before you begin anymaintenance

or repairs.This will eliminate several potential hazards:
° Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.

Be sure there is adequateventilation whenever you
operate the engine.

° Burns from hot parts.

Letthe engine and exhaust system cool before touch-
ing.

° Injury from moving parts.

Do notrun the engine unless instructed to doso.

Inthe State of California a spark arrestor is required by law.
Otherstates mayhave similar laws. Federallaws applyon all

federal lands. Ifyou equip the muffler with a spark arrestor, it

must be maintained ineffective working order. See page 11.
Rapid retraction of the recoil starter cord can pull the

starter cord back faster than you can let go. When starting

the engine, pull the cord slowly until resistance is felt then

pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

Rev. 4/2011

Changing the speed of the generator by adjusting the governor can cause damage to the genera-
tor, devices attached to the generator, and may result in bodily injury. Do not adjust or tamper
with the engine speed setting.
