Briggs & Stratton On-Board Generator System DANGER, THE POWER IN POWERLINK, POWERLINK OPERATING, INSTRUCTIONS, Applying Device Load

WARNING

The POWERLINK On-Board Generator System produces electricity that could result in death, serious injury and/or property damage if proper precautions are not followed.

Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while standing in water, or while barefoot, or while hands and/or feet are wet.

Do not operate unit:

•in rain.

•if electrical cord or device, which is plugged into the GFCI receptacle over heats.

•if electrical output is lost.

•if flame, spark or smoke is observed while unit is running.

Maintain and use proper sized electrical cord sets and extension cords per electrical device specification. Use cords rated for no less than 15 amps.

Use cords which are in good condition. Never use worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged cord sets.

Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, and damaged cords.

Keep extension cord lengths at minimum possible length. Long extension cords draw additional power.

WARNING

Running the POWERLINK On-Board Generator System produces heat.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as the inverter.

DANGER

The engine used in the POWERLINK On-Board Generator System gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death.

Never run POWERLINK On-Board Generator System in an enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.

THE POWER IN POWERLINK

The POWERLINK On-Board Generator System will operate continuously at 1000 watts output, and up to 1500 watts for brief periods. Operating at loads above 1000 watts continuously may trigger the POWERLINK system to reset and halt the electrical output needed to power the load. The system produces 120 volts, 60 cycle AC electrical power. Prior to connecting any electrical device, ensure compatibility of operating voltage and frequency requirement.

The POWERLINK system output remains 120 volts throughout the entire engine speed range. Output wattage increases with engine speed. Select the engine speed that will power the electrical device satisfactorily without triggering the POWERLINK reset.

CAUTION: Damage may result if the equipment operates outside of a +/–10% voltage variation from the rated voltage of 120V.

POWERLINK OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

[1]Start the engine and set the desired engine speed.

[2]No load should be applied to the engine, (Power-Take-Off

should be disengaged) and the parking brake must be LOCKED. If these are not done, the POWERLINK system will not operate.

[3]Actuate the POWERLINK reset switch. Move the reset switch to the OFF position and then return it to the ON position.

[4]Plug the electrical device into the GFCI receptacle and start device. See also, Applying Device Load.

[5]Any time the engine stops, for any reason, the POWERLINK reset switch must be actuated. Follow the steps outlined above. See also, Electrical Operating Power Loss.
