OPERATING THE GENERATOR

RECEPTACLES

Figure 5 — 230 Volt AC, 20 Amp Receptacle

CAUTION

3-Wire Cord Set

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

230V

Generator”.

 

AC Voltmeter (Model 030213 Only)

 

Use the voltmeter as a visual aid. It indicates AC voltage.

 

If the meter indicates that AC output voltage is far below

 

230 Volts, engine speed or frequency may be too low.

 

Circuit Breaker

Ground

 

The model 030212 circuit breaker is rated at 10 Amps. The model 030213 circuit breaker is rated at 15 Amps. This circuit breaker, when tripped, will cut off power to all 230 Volt outlets.To reset the breaker, set the switch to the “On” position.When the switch is in the “Off” position the engine may be running but no power is supplied to the outlets.

For model 030212, this receptacle powers 230 Volt AC, 50 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 2,500 Watts of power (2.5 kW) at 10 Amps for 230 Volts.

For model 030213, these receptacles power 230 Volt AC, 50 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 2,800 Watts of power (2.8 kW) at 12.1 Amps for 230 Volts total.

230 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Locking Receptacle

Use a compatible 3 prong plug with this receptacle (Figure 5). Connect a 3-wire cord set rated 250 volts at 20 AC Amps to the plug.

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 petrol.

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

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

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

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

6.Shelter unit from elements.

030212, 030213 specifications

Briggs & Stratton is a well-known name in the realm of small engines, particularly for outdoor power equipment. The models 030212 and 030213 showcase the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and performance. These engines are primarily designed for residential and commercial applications, offering reliability and efficiency for various power equipment needs.

The Briggs & Stratton 030212 and 030213 engines are distinguished by their robust construction and advanced engineering. One of the notable features is their overhead valve (OHV) design, which enhances airflow and fuel efficiency. This design not only results in lower emissions but also delivers better torque and power during operation. As a result, users can expect higher performance from these engines, making them ideal for lawn mowers, generators, pressure washers, and other outdoor equipment.

Both models come equipped with a reliable recoil start system, ensuring that starting the engine is user-friendly and straightforward. In terms of maintenance, Briggs & Stratton has integrated a simple oil check and fill system, allowing operators to easily monitor and maintain oil levels to optimize engine performance and longevity.

Another standout characteristic of these engines is their enhanced fuel efficiency. By incorporating state-of-the-art fuel management technology, the 030212 and 030213 minimize fuel consumption while maximizing output. This not only translates to cost savings for users but also contributes to environmentally friendly operation.

The engines also feature a dual-air cleaner system. This system helps ensure clean air intake, reducing dust and debris that can impact engine performance. The enhanced filtration contributes to longer engine life and decreased maintenance intervals, allowing users to focus on their tasks rather than frequent engine upkeep.

Furthermore, the engines boast a compact and lightweight design, which makes them easy to install and transport. This portability is a significant advantage for those who use them across multiple locations or in varied applications.

Overall, the Briggs & Stratton 030212 and 030213 engines exemplify the company’s dedication to innovation and performance. With their advanced features, user-friendly design, and efficiency-conscious engineering, these models serve as reliable power sources for a range of outdoor and utility applications, solidifying Briggs & Stratton's reputation in the small engine market.
