Portable Generator

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

2A. For models with the fuel valve built into the engine, turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 5).

Figure 5 — Fuel Valve

Fuel Valve is shown in the On position

2B. For models with an overhead fuel tank, turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 6).The fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward the ground) for fuel to flow.

Fuel Valve is shown in the On position

3.Start engine according to instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.

This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

Connecting Electrical Loads

•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

•Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

•DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles.

•DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

•DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 11.

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 owner’s manual.

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

RECEPTACLES

The generator will be equipped with one or more of the following 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 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 7).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt load.

Stopping the Engine

1.Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 6,000 watts of power (6.0 kW) at 30 Amps for 120 Volts or 240 Volts.The outlet is protected by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
