OPERATION

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

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 Generator”.

CAUTION

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

•See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

•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.

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.Move Run/Stop switch to “Stop” position.

4.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

Low Oil Pressure Shutdown System

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure sensor that shuts down the engine automatically when the oil pressure drops below 8 psi. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline, check engine oil level.

Initial Start–up

A delay built into the low oil shutdown system allows oil pressure to build during starting.The delay allows the engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil pressure.

Sensing Low Pressure

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation, the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.

Restarting

If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after it shuts down, the engine may NOT start.The system needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.

If you do restart the engine after such a shutdown and have not corrected the low oil pressure, the engine runs for about 10 seconds as described above and then stops.

RECEPTACLES

A double pole rocker switch circuit breaker is provided to protect the locking receptacle. If this circuit breaker is tripped, all panel receptacles are disconnected.

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”.
