OPERATION
KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before
operation of your Generator. Compare the illustration
in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize
yourself with the location of various controls and
adjustments. Save all manuals for future references.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your
generator can result in serious damage to your genera-
tor and connected electrical devices. See the Wattage
Calculation section in this manual to assist you in
determining the appliances and tools that can be ran
with the wattage capacity of your generator.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Each receptacle has a circuit breaker to protect the
generator from overloading. If the circuit breaker trips,
unplug all electrical loads from the generator. Let the
circuit breaker cool down. Push circuit breaker button to
reset.
LOW OIL SHUTDOWN (if equipped)
Your generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shut-
down. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device designed to
protect your engine from damage in the event the oil
level in the crankcase is low.
If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will
automatically shut itself down and will not restart until
the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the
generator will not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very
sensitive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the
dipstick to inactivate this safety device.
2. Check fuel level, fill as required. Make sure generator
is turned off and has been allowed time to cool down.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2"
below the bottom of the filler neck to provide
space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage
from engine and equipment before starting en-
gine.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank
when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke
when filling fuel tank.
Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor
ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
3. Make sure generator is grounded in accordance with
local requirements.
4. All electrical loads MUST be disconnected.
5. (if equipped) Idle control switch must be in the OFF
position.
Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe
operation. Tampering with the engine speed
adjustment could result in overheating of attach-
ments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to
“speed-up” the engine to obtain more perfor-
mance. Both the output voltage and frequency will
be thrown out of standard by this practice, endan-
gering attachments and the user.
You MUST unplug any load from the generator
before starting to prevent permanent damage to
any appliances.
BEFORE START UP
This generator has been shipped from the
factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating
the unit without oil can damage the engine.
Always check engine oil level before every start.
Running engine low of oil or out of oil could
result in serious damage to the engine.
Follow the steps listed below before starting generator:
1. Check engine oil. Refer to the Engine Operator's
Manual for correct grade and quantity of oil.
