Your generator is equipped with:
one 120 volt duplex receptacle protected
by a 15
amp circuit breaker
one 120 volt 3-prong twist[ock
receptacle pro-
tected by a two 15 amp circuit breakers
one 240 volt 4-prong twist[ock
receptacle pro-
tected by two 15 amp circuit breakers
The circuit breakers are provided to protect the

FULL POWER SWmTCH
When placed in the 120V position it allows you to
receive the fuji capacity of the generator by using a[[
120 volt receptacles.
When in the 120/240 position,
you wi[[ only be able to receive 2125 watts when using
the 120 volt receptacles and the fuji 4250 watts when
using the 240 4-prong twist[ock
receptacle.

LOW OIL SHUTDOWN
Your Craftsman generator engine is equipped with Low
Oil Shutdown.
Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device
designed to protect your engine from damage in the
event the oil [eve[ in the crankcase is low.
If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it wi[[
automatically
shut itself down and wi[[ not restart until
the oil is added.
If the oil is low before start-up, the
generator wi[[ not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensi-
tive. You must fi[[ the engine to the fuji mark on the dip-
stick to inactivate this safety device.
GENERATOR
CAPACITY
Exceeding
the rated capacity of your generator can
result in serious damage to your generator and con-
nected electrical devices. You should observe the
following to prevent overloading the unit:
Starting and running wattage requirements
should
always be calculated when matching a generators
wattage capacity to the appliance or too[.
There are two types of electrical appliances that
can be powered by your generator:
A.
Items such as radios, light bulbs, television
sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".
Starting wattage and running wattage are the
same.
B_
Items such as refrigerators, air compressors,
washer, dryer, and hand tools that use an
electrical motor have an "inductive load".
Inductive load appliances and tools require
approximately
2 to 4 times the listed wattage
for starting
the equipment. This initial load
only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is
very important when figuring your total watt-
age to be used.
