(a)Hard-starting motors require 3 to 5 times the rated running watts.

(b)These loads may require up to 15 minutes to restart due to its normal build up of compressor head pressure.

NOTE: For extremely hard to start loads such as air conditioners and air compressors, consult the equipment dealer to determine the maximum wattage.

PRE-START PREPARATIONS

Your generator has been thoroughly tested prior to shipment from the factory. A factory test report has been included with this manual. However, damage can occur during shipping, so be sure to check for damaged parts, loose or missing nuts and bolts. If the aforementioned problems occur, call customer service at 1-800-270-0810.

GROUNDING - All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4” or 1” copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator. The pipe/rod must penetrate moist earth. Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. Run a 10 gauge wire from the clamp to the generator grounding post located on the control panel. Do not connect to a water pipe or a ground used by a radio system.

CAUTION: The engine has been shipped without oil. Fill the crankcase with oil before trying to start. Low oil shut-down prevents your generator from starting without sufficient oil.

OPERATING SPEED

The generator must be run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper electrical voltage and frequency. The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage and frequency.

The output voltage should be checked to ensure the generator is working properly before connecting a load to the generator. Failure to do
