EQUIPMENT

DESCRIPTION

Read this manual carefully and become familiar with your generator. Know its applications, its limitations and any hazards involved.

This 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 the engine.

This generator incorporates GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded to ground to pass OSHA inspections on job sites.This generator will not function when connected to a transfer switch since the home or building main breaker box also has a neutral bonded to ground.When both the generator and the home or building breaker box contains a neutral bonded to ground, the generators GFCI will open and no outlets will function.

WARNING

DO NOT remove the neutral bond.

•Removing the neutral bond could result in death, bodily injury and/or property damage.

CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the product and this document at any time without prior notice.

The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted for standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to the engine owner’s manual.
