Stopping the Engine

1.Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3.Turn engine off according to instructions given in the engine operator’s manual.

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

RECEPTACLES

CAUTION

Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output capacity.

•NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than generator or receptacle can supply.

•DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a NEMA L14–30 (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

Each receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.

Figure 6 — 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacle

Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater).

COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you need to perform the following:

1.Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.

2.Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).

3.Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see engine operator’s manual).

4.Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of operation.

5.Maintain generator following “Maintenance Schedule” in engine operator’s manual.

6.Shelter unit from elements.
