INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this model by Husqvarna AB. The models are compact, high performance, air-cooled, engine driven generators designed to supply electrical power to operate electrical loads where no utility power is available or in place of utility due to a power outage. READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY If any portion of this manual is not understood, contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for starting, operating and servicing procedures.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special instructions while performing the action or service are essential to preventing accidents. Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each indicates is as follows: This symbol points out important safety information that, if not followed, could endanger personal safety and/or property of others.
EXHAUST & LOCATION HAZARDS • Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust. • The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell. This poisonous gas, if breathed in sufficient concentrations, can cause unconsciousness or even death.
• Do not use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged electrical cord sets with the generator. • Before performing any maintenance on the generator, disconnect the engine starting battery (if equipped) to prevent accidental start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (–) first. Reconnect that cable last. • In case of accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the source of electrical power.

Save this manual for future reference.
2.2 CORD SETS AND CONNECTION PLUGS The following are descriptions of the controls on the power panel.Your generator has sockets to power your products with circuit breakers to protect the voltage flow. 1. Engine Switch: Used to start and stop the engine. I O For recoil start. For electric start. 2. Circuit Breakers: The circuit breaker protects the generator from overloading. The rating of the breaker and the load it protects are marked near the breaker.
6. AC Receptacles: The generator contains several AC Receptacles to power tools and equipment. For different regions,the voltage and frequency will be different,please choose the proper generator. EU Version,Single phase,50Hz A. 2-Prong, 230 volt receptacle B. 3-Prong, 32A 230 volt receptacle A B US Version,Single phase,60Hz $& 9 9 A. 3-Prong, duplex 120 volt receptacle B. 4-Prong, twistlock, 30A 120/240 volt receptacle C.
2.3 HOW TO USE THE GENERATOR If there are any problems operating the generator, please contact the local dealer. DANGER! Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors! NEVER use in the home, in a vehicle, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, EVEN IF doors and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust. The engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which you cannot see or smell.
2.3.2 CONNECTING THE GENERATOR TO A BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM When connecting directly to a building’s electrical system, it is recommended that a manual transfer switch is used. Connections for a portable generator to a building’s electrical system must be made by a qualified electrician and in strict compliance with all national and local electrical codes and laws. Grounding the Generator 2.3.3 CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS DO NOT connect 240 (230) Volt loads to 120 (110) Volt receptacles.
NOTICE! All figures are approximate. See data label on appliance for wattage requirements. 2.
2.6 BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR Prior to operating the generator, engine oil and gasoline will need to be added, as follows: 2.6.1 ADDING ENGINE OIL All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Class SJ, SL or better. Use no special additives. Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to the expected operating temperature (also see char t).
2.6.2 ADDING GASOLINE DANGER! Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Avoid spilling gasoline on a hot engine. Allow engine to cool entirely before filling fuel tank. DO NOT light a cigarette or smoke when filling the fuel tank. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave room for fuel expansion. If the fuel tank is overfilled, fuel can overflow onto a hot engine and cause FIRE or EXPLOSION. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
2.7 TO START THE ENGINE WARNING! Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged into the receptacles AND devices turned on. 1. Unplug all electrical loads from the unit’s receptacles before starting the engine. 2. Make sure the unit is in a level position (not to exceed 15° in any direction). 3. OPEN the Fuel Valve. 4. Turn engine ON/OFF switch (A) (Recoil start engine only) to ON position. (Figure 3) 5. Move engine CHOKE lever to the OFF position. 6.
3. MAINTENANCE 3.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE NOTICE: This maintenance schedule is intended solely as a general guide. If performance decreases or if equipment operates unusually, check systems immediately.

3.3.3 ENGINE MAINTENANCE WARNING! When working on the generator, always disconnect the spark plug wire from spark plug and keep wire away from spark plug. 3.3.4 CHECKING OIL LEVEL See the “Before Starting the Generator” section for information on checking the oil level. The oil level should be checked before each use, or at least every eight hours of operation. Keep the oil level maintained (Figure 5). 3.3.
3.3.6 REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG Replace the plug once each year. This will help the engine start easier and run better. 1. Stop the engine and pull the spark plug wire off of the spark plug. 2. Clean the area around the spark plug and remove it from the cylinder head. 3. Set the spark plug’s gap to 0.76 mm (0.030 in.). Install the correctly gapped spark plug into the cylinder head and torque to 15 ft/lbs. (Figure 6). Figure 6 - Spark Plug Gap 3.3.
3.4 SERVICE AIR FILTER The engine will not run properly and may be damaged if using a dirty air filter. Clean the air filter every 25 hours (Figure 8). Clean or replace more often if operating under dusty conditions. 1. Remove air filter cover. 2. Wash the element in soapy water. Squeeze filter dry in clean cloth (DO NOT TWIST). 3. Clean air filter cover before re-installing it. Figure 8 - Air Filter B A C A: BOLT B: AIR FILTER COVER C: FILTER ELEMENT 3.
DANGER! Drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool. Do not smoke. 3. Start and run engine until engine stops from lack of fuel. 4. After engine cools down, drain oil from engine. Refill with recommended grade. 5. Remove spark plug and pour about 1/2 ounce (15 ml) of engine oil into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Pull the recoil starter a couple times to lubricate the piston rings and cylinder bore.
