PORTABLE GASOLINE GENERATORS

GENERAL

INFORMATION

Master portable generators are rugged and compact. These generators use brushless al- ternators for dependable, trouble-free service. Honda gasoline engines provide long life un- der heavy use. Honda engines have overhead valves (OHV). This provides high perfor- mance with lower fuel consumption. These enginesaregovernedtomaintainenginespeed of 3600 RPM under load. 3600 RPM engine speed provides 120/240V, 60 Hz power.

UNPACKING

1.Remove generator from carton.

2.Remove any protective packaging ap- plied to generator for shipment.

VENTILATION

DANGER: Use only in well- vented areas. Make sure area has plenty of free-moving, fresh, out- side air. Never run generator in an enclosed or confined area. Never run generator inside occu- pied building. Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon mon- oxide gas. Overexposure will cause loss of consciousness and will lead to death.

This generator needs cooling air to run prop- erly. Never block free-flowing, cooling air to generator. Overheating will occur with- out cooling air. This will damage the gen- erator. Keep generator at least three feet away from any object.

DUST, DIRT, RAIN,

AND SNOW

WARNING: Do not use gen- erator outdoors in rain or snow. Do not use generator near stand- ing water or snow. Do not use if generator is wet or damp. Oper- ating generator in these condi- tions increases the risk of elec- trocution. Severe injury or death can occur.

Do not use generator in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. This will severely affect its life. Keep generator clean. Do not allow dust, dirt, rain, or snow to collect on it. Protect generator from outdoor elements.

HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION

Air temperature affects generator output. Output drops 1% for each 10° temperature rise above 60° F. Very low temperatures may make the engine hard to start. See engine owner’s manual for more information.
