Operation

GROUNDING THE

GENERATOR

The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and external electrically conductive parts of this generator be properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING FASTENER is provided on the generator end (Figure 2).

Fastener

Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding fastener and to an earth–driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after connecting the stranded copper wire. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area.

Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or in connected electrical devices, especially when the unit is equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

OPERATING THE

GENERATOR

CAUTION

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

•See “Don’t Overload Generator” on page 13.

•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.

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instruction steps by numerical order:

1.Make sure unit is on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during operation.

2.Turn fuel valve to “On” position (Figure 3).The fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward ground) for fuel to flow.

Figure 3 — Fuel Valve

Fuel Valve is shown in the “On” position

3.Make sure Idle Control switch is in “Off” position (Figure 4).
