OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the

Assembly Diagram on page 19.

To Install A Battery:

1.NOTE: The Generator requires the installation of a 12 volt battery (not included).

The battery must be no larger than 5” wide x 7-3/4” long x 8-1/2” high.

2. WARNING! Battery fluid leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If battery fluid comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and water and rinse with lemon juice and vinegar. If the fluid comes into contact with the eyes, flush with water for several minutes and contact a doctor immediately. Never burn a battery, as it can explode in a fire. Do not use the Generator with a leaking battery. Contact local solid waste authorities for instructions on correct disposal or recycling of a battery.

3.Carefully place a fully charged, 12 volt battery in the Battery Holder located at the base of the Generator.

4.The Engine has two power cables that must be connected to the battery. Connect the cable with the RED (+ POSITIVE) terminal to the (+ POSITIVE) terminal on the battery. Connect the cable with the BLACK (- NEGATIVE) terminal to the (- NEGATIVE) terminal on the battery. (See Figure C.)

5.Insert the bottom, “L” shaped portion of one Battery Support Stud (39) in each end of the Battery Holder. Then, insert the Battery Holding Plate (40) onto the two Battery Support Studs and allow the Battery Holding Plate to rest on top of the battery. Secure the battery in place by tightening the two Nuts (49) onto the two Battery Support Studs. Do not overtighten, as it may damage the battery. (See Figure C.)

90300 specifications

The Chicago Electric 90300 is a versatile and powerful tool that stands out in the realm of portable generators, tailored for both personal and professional use. With a design focused on efficiency and reliability, it serves as an ideal solution for applications ranging from home backup power to outdoor activities like camping or tailgating.

One of the main features of the Chicago Electric 90300 is its robust 2,500-watt peak power and a continuous output of 2,500 watts. This capacity is more than sufficient for powering essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, and other household equipment during outages. It’s particularly valued for its ability to deliver surge power, enabling it to handle higher wattage appliances temporarily without compromising performance.

The generator is equipped with a 7-horsepower, four-stroke engine, which not only enhances its operational capabilities but also promotes fuel efficiency. This engine runs on gasoline, allowing for easy access to fuel and convenient operation. The inclusion of a low oil shutoff feature ensures that the engine stops running when the oil level dips below a certain threshold, thereby extending the generator's life and preventing potential damage.

The Chicago Electric 90300 features a user-friendly control panel, which includes multiple outlets, making it easy to connect various devices simultaneously. The panel typically includes standard 120V outlets, ensuring compatibility with most household appliances. Additionally, some models may include USB ports for charging smaller devices, catering to the modern user's needs.

Portability is another critical aspect of the Chicago Electric 90300. The generator comes with a sturdy frame and built-in wheels, making it easy to transport to different locations, whether for emergency usage at home or during recreational outings. Its lightweight design contributes to its ease of mobility, while the durable construction provides the robustness necessary to withstand different environments.

Noise operation is also a factor to consider. The Chicago Electric 90300 operates at a reasonable noise level, making it suitable for use in residential areas and outdoor settings where quiet is preferred.

In summary, the Chicago Electric 90300 is an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly portable generator that meets a variety of power needs. It combines a powerful engine, generous wattage output, safety features, and portability, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a dependable backup power source or a handy tool for outdoor adventures.
