GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3.
7. Do not expose Generator to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric shock. 8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock. 9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
GENERATOR USE AND CARE 18. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the generator accidentally. 19. Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 20. Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator.
SPECIFIC PRODUCT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS 1. Warning: Never connect this generator to your house or any other structures wiring. This unit is not designed to be used as a standby generator to be wired to your electrical panel. It is designed to be used to provide power to either 120V or 240V electrical devices by plugging the device into the generator. Failure to follow these instructions could lead to damage to appliances and the structures wiring that it is connected to. 2.
9. The supporting floor/ground surface should be level, and strong enough to safely hold the weight of the Generator. If the floor/ground surface is not level, strong cross members should be placed under the full length of the Generator Frame at its low side. 10. For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of the trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the weight of the Generator and all contents (tools, etc.) 11.
MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS 1. ALWAYS make sure the Power Switch is in its "OFF" position. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and allow the Engine to completely cool before carrying out maintenance. 2. Check for damaged parts. Before using the Generator, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS 1. All connections and conduits from the Generator to the load must only be installed by trained and licensed electricians, and in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal electrical codes and standards, and other regulations where applicable. 2. The Generator must be earth-grounded for fixed installations in accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before operation. WARNING! The 120v outlet is protected with a 47 amp breaker.
8. Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where the insulation is cracked, cut, abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean and tight. 9. Insulate all connections and disconnected wires. 10. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. INSTALLATION 1.
5. Place the Generator as close as possible to the electrical tools and equipment being powered to reduce the length of extension cords. GENERATOR SUPPORT AND MOUNTING 1. Mount the Generator on a concrete slab capable of supporting the weight of the Generator. The slab must extend on all sides beyond the Frame (41) by at least one foot. Contact a cement contractor for slab specifications if necessary. Attach the Frame to the concrete slab using 3/8" diameter expansion anchor bolts (not supplied).

3. Before the first use, remove the Fuel Tank Cap (33) and fill the Fuel Tank (30) with unleaded gasoline. Then, replace the Fuel Tank Cap. Thereafter, check the Engine's Fuel Gauge (34) for the amount of unleaded gasoline in the Fuel Tank. If necessary, refill the Fuel Tank with unleaded gasoline; the Generator must be turned off and cooled down before refilling the fuel tank. (See Figure C.) To Start The Engine: 1.
5. Turn the Engine Power Switch (2) to its "ON" position. (See Figure F.) 6. Hold the Start Handle (41A) loosely and pull it slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the Engine's carburetor. Then hold the Start Handle firmly and pull the rope hard and fast. Pull the rope all the way out, using two hands if (32)times until the Engine starts. necessary. If necessary pull theFUEL rope TANK several (See Figure G.) 7. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds.
Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator's rated voltage, and amperage capacity (120V 47AMP, 240V 23AMP) is adequate to supply all electrical loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator's capacity, it may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for connection to a separate generator.
3. If using only a 12 volt DC tool or equipment turn both the 120v and 240v breakers to their "OFF" position.(See Figure D.) 4. Start and run the Engine as previously discussed in this manual. 5. When finished using the Generator, turn the Engine Power Switch (2) to its “OFF” position. Turn the Fuel Valve (40) to its “OFF” position. Then, disconnect the electrical powered tools' power cord from the Generator's DC Terminals (7). (See Figure H.) 6.
INSPECTION, CLEANING, AND MAINTENANCE 1. CAUTION! Always make sure the Engine Power Switch (2) is in its “OFF” position. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the engine. And allow sufficient time for the Engine and Generator to completely cool before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning. 2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Generator.
