Connecting Generator To Main Electrical Supply

Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is connected to the main electrical supply coming into the house. It is at that point that the generator could feed back into the utility company’s system causing possible electrocution of workers who are repairing electrical lines. To avoid back feeding of electricity into utility systems, a double-throw transfer switch should be installed between the generator and utility power. This device should be installed by a licensed electrician and in compliance with all local electrical codes.

NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.

BEFORE STARTING 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.

Adding Engine Oil

Your generator has been shipped without oil in the engine. Begin by removing the oil dipstick and plug. Start pouring the oil in slowly.

The engine will hold approximately 48 ounces/1.4 liters of oil.

To check oil:

•Place engine in a level position. Clean around oil fill and dipstick.

•Remove dipstick and wipe clean with cloth.

•Push dipstick back in and remove to check oil. Keep oil level at FULL line on dipstick.

•Replace dipstick firmly.

NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use a high quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF,SG,SH,SJ” rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives. Select the oil’s viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperatures.
