Operator Safety Hazard Symbols and Meanings Equipment Description ead this manual carefully and become familiar R with your generator. Know its applications, its limitations and any hazards involved. The generator is an engine–driven, revolving field, alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.
warning The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. warning Generator produces hazardous voltage. Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. • When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.
warning Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns. Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to generator. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire. Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load. • DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases. • Allow equipment to cool before touching. • Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.
Assembly Your generator requires some assembly and is ready for use after it has been properly serviced with the recommended fuel and oil. If you have any problems with the assembly of your generator, please call the generator helpline at (877) 224‑0458. If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and serial number from the data tag available. See Generator Controls and Features for data tag location. Install the wheel kit as follows: 1. Tip generator so that engine end is up. 2.
Add Engine Oil 1. Place generator on a flat, level surface. 2. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap. NOTE: See the section Oil to review oil recommendations. Verify provided oil bottle is correct viscosity for current ambient temperature. 3. Using oil funnel (optional), slowly pour contents of provided oil bottle into oil fill opening. NOTICE Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.
System Ground Generator Location The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator frame). Special Requirements There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Features and Controls ead this Operator’s Manual and safety rules before operating your generator. R Compare the illustrations with your generator, to familiarize yourself with the locations of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. P N A B C D E F M G L H K J A - 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles — May be used to supply electrical power for the operation of 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, single phase, 60 Hz electrical, lighting, appliance, tool, and motor loads.
Cord Sets and Receptacles Use only high quality, well-insulated, grounded extension cords with the generator’s 120 Volt duplex receptacle. Inspect extension cords before each use. Check the ratings of all extension cords before you use them. Extension cord sets used should be rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps or greater for most electrical devices. Some devices, however, may not require this type of extension cord. Check the operator’s manuals of those devices for the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Operation Starting the Engine Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions: 1. Make sure unit is on a level surface. IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate the unit on a level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during operation. 2. Turn fuel valve (A) to “On” position.
Connecting Electrical Loads 1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting. 2. Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. NOTE: • DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles. • DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator. • DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator. • DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See Don’t Overload Generator.
Don’t Overload Generator Capacity You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated (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 rated (running) watts of these items. This is the amount of power your generator must produce to keep your items running. See Wattage Reference Guide. 3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Maintenance Maintenance Schedule Follow the hourly or calendar intervals, whichever occurs first. More frequent service is required when operating in adverse conditions noted below.
Fuel Valve Maintenance Oil The fuel valve is equipped with a fuel sediment cup, screen, retaining ring and o-ring that need to be cleaned every 100 hours or once a year (whichever occurs first). 1. Move fuel valve to “Off” position. 2. Remove sediment cup (A) from fuel valve. Remove o-ring (B), retaining ring (C) and screen (D) from fuel valve. Oil Recommendations We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best performance.
Changing Engine Oil Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. Change oil every 50 hours thereafter. If you are using your generator under extremely dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather, change the oil more often. To service the air cleaner, follow these steps: 1. Loosen screws (D) and remove air cleaner cover (E). G F E caution Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil. • Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.
warning Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire. • DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases. • Allow equipment to cool before touching. • Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.
Storage The generator should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage. Generator Storage • Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning. • Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator are open and unobstructed. Long Term Storage Instructions Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.
Troubleshooting Problem Engine is running, but no AC output is available. Engine runs good at no-load but “bogs down” when loads are connected. Engine will not start; or starts and runs rough. Cause 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. Short circuit in a connected load. 2. Engine speed is too slow. 3. Generator is overloaded. Engine lacks power. 20 Reset circuit breaker. Contact authorized service facility. Check and repair. Connect another device that is in good condition. 4. Shorted generator circuit. 1.
