WATTAGE CALCULATING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool. There are two types of electrical applicances that can be powered by your generator: Items such as radios, light bulbs, television sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".

TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF BATTERY (Electric Start Units Only) • Recommended Battery for Electric Start: 12V (Min.) - 45 A H. • Purchase separately, not included with unit. 1. Place battery in rack with terminals facing towards generator head. 2. Place battery bracket (A) over battery as shown (opposite battery terminals).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS/EXTENSION CORDS GROUNDING INSTRUCTION This generator should be grounded to help prevent accidental electrical shock. Shown below is a picture of the grounding lug supplied on your generator. Drive a 3/4" or 1" diameter copper pipe or rod into the ground close to the generator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE START 4. Grasp handle on rope starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to Follow the steps listed below before starting generator: overcome compression, prevent kickback, and start engine. Repeat if necessary. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Low on fuel or oil. 1. Add fuel or oil. Engine will not start Ignition switch in "Off" position. 2. Turn to "ON" position Faulty spark plug. 3. Replace spark plug. Choke in wrong position. 4.
