connecting electrical Loads Figure
warning Generator voltage could cause electrical shock or burn resulting
in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT connect generator to a building's electrical system.
• DO NOT touch bare wires or receptacles.
• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn, frayed, bare or
otherwise damaged.
• DO NOT operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing in water, while
barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or service generator.
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables with the generator's 230 Volt AC
outlets. Inspect extension cables before each use. Check that all extension cables are
suitably rated and are not damaged.
warning Damaged or overloaded electrical cables could overheat, arc, and
burn resulting in death, serious injury, and/or property damage.
• ONLY use suitably rated extension cables.
• Follow all safety instructions on extension cables.
• Inspect cables before each use.
1. Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.
2. Check the voltmeter (H) for proper voltage.
3. Make sure the load of the electrical device is within the generator's rated output.
NOTICE Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output
capacity.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than the generator or
receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See Generator Capacity.
4. Make sure the electrical device is turned off. Then connect the electrical device
to the generator's AC outlet (d). After the electrical device is connected, turn on
the electrical device.
5. When connecting additional electrical devices, make sure the total load does
not exceed the generator's wattage capacity. See Specifications section.
NOTICE Do not exceed the generator's wattage capacity. Exceeding the wattage
capacity could damage generator and/or connected electrical devices.
6. Before stopping the engine, turn off and then disconnect all electrical devices.
stopping the engine Figure
warning Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which
could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke control to "choke" position (
1. Before stopping the engine, turn off and then disconnect all electrical devices.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures
of engine and generator.
3. Turn fuel valve to the off ( ) position.
4. Electric Start: Turn the electric start switch (t) to the off (

oil Level switch and warning Light Figure
If the oil level is too low, a switch will stop the engine and activate a warning light (r)
on the generator. If the oil level is too low when starting the engine, the switch will
activate the warning light. If the warning light is activated, make sure the unit is on a
level surface and check for proper oil level. See the How to Check/Add Oil section.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches the FULL mark. Start the
engine and check for oil leaks before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not start the engine. See a
Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer to have the engine inspected.
cold weather operation Figure
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 fuel.
2. Open fuel valve (turn valve to on position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oil.
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of operation.
5. Maintain generator following Maintenance Schedule in Maintenance section.
6. Shelter unit from elements.
Building a cold weather shelter
1. Using non combustible material with a fire rating of at least one hour, build a
shelter that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator. Make sure
muffler side of generator is exposed.
NOTICE Contact your local building material supplier for non combustible materials
with a fire rating of at least one hour.
NOTICE Be sure shelter can easily be repositioned for change in wind direction.
2. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown. Shelter should hold enough
heat created by the generator to prevent icing problem.
NOTICE If a wheel kit is installed on the generator, enlarge shelter accordingly.
3. Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
4. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
5. Locate generator as described in the section Generator Location. Keep exhaust
gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes
or other openings.
warning Poisonous gas HaZard. engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. you cannot
see it, smell it, or taste it. even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you
could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas. if you start to feel sick,
dizzy or weak while using this product, shut it off and get to fresh air
rigHt away. see a doctor. you may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide
alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and
windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces
and can linger for hours, even after the product has shut off.
• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from
occupied spaces.
6. Start generator as described in the section Starting the Engine, then place
shelter over generator. Keep at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) clearance on all sides of
generator including overhead with shelter in place.
warning Exhaust heat/gases could ignite combustibles, structures or
damage fuel tank causing a fire, resulting in death, serious
injury and/or property damage.
Contact with muffler area could cause burns resulting in
serious injury.
• DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• Keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft.) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.
• Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
7. Remove shelter when temperatures are above 40°F [4°C].
8. Turn engine OFF and let cool two (2) minutes before refueling. Let any spilled
fuel evaporate before starting engine.
