Operator Safety

Equipment Description

Read this manual carefully and become familiar 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.

This generator incorporates GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded to ground to comply to OSHA inspections on job sites. This generator will not function when connected to a 2 pole 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 Removing the neutral bond could result in death, bodily injury and/or property damage.

• DO NOT remove the neutral bond.

NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

•DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage/amperage capacity. See Don’t Overload Generator in the Operation section.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the generator and this documentation at any time without prior notice.

The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted for standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board.

Important Safety Information

The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work method or operating technique that the manufacturer does not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the procedure, work method or operating technique that you choose does not render the generator unsafe.

PRO4000 specifications

The Briggs & Stratton PRO4000 is a dependable and powerful generator designed to meet the needs of both residential and professional users. With a robust build and advanced technology, it offers an excellent solution for powering essential appliances during outages or for use at worksites.

One of the standout features of the PRO4000 is its impressive peak power output of 4000 watts, providing ample energy for multiple devices. This makes it an ideal choice for running refrigerators, sump pumps, or power tools simultaneously. The generator's continuous running wattage capacity ensures a steady power supply, allowing users to maintain their usual lifestyle even in emergencies.

The PRO4000 is equipped with a reliable Briggs & Stratton engine, renowned in the industry for its durability and efficiency.
