When using generator for backup power, notify utility company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate generator from electric utility.

Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as metal decking or steel work.

DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.

DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.

DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.

WARNING Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage

fuel tank causing a fire.

DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

Allow equipment to cool before touching.

Keep at least 5 feet (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws.

Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.

WARNING Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

WHEN ADJUSTING OR MAKING REPAIRS TO YOUR GENERATOR

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug and place the wire where it cannot contact spark plug.

WHEN TESTING FOR ENGINE SPARK

Use approved spark plug tester.

DO NOT check for spark with spark plug removed.

WARNING Starter and other rotating parts can entangle hands, hair, clothing, or accessories.

NEVER operate generator without protective housing or covers.

DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.

Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

CAUTION Excessively high operating speeds increase risk of injury and damage to generator.

Excessively low speeds impose a heavy load.

DO NOT tamper with governed speed. Generator supplies correct rated frequency and voltage when running at governed speed.

DO NOT modify generator in any way.

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.

Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.

Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator.

NOTICE Improper treatment of generator can damage it and shorten its life.

Use generator only for intended uses.

If you have questions about intended use, ask dealer or contact local service center.

Operate generator only on level surfaces.

DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.

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. The engine employs OHV (Overhead Valve) technology, which enhances performance and fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.

It integrates advanced safety features like overload protection that automatically shuts off the generator to prevent damage, ensuring it runs smoothly and safely. The generator also incorporates a low oil shutdown feature that protects the engine from damage by shutting down when oil levels are too low.

User-friendly controls make the PRO4000 accessible for anyone to operate. The generator features clearly marked outlets for easy connection of devices, and an easy-to-read fuel gauge allows users to monitor fuel levels without opening the tank.

In summary, the Briggs & Stratton PRO4000 stands out with its powerful performance, reliable engine technology, portability, and safety features. Whether for home use during power outages or for commercial applications, the PRO4000 offers the versatility and reliability that users can depend on. It is an investment that ensures peace of mind and preparedness for whatever challenges come your way.
