Information in this manual may or may not pertain to your model. Please read carefully. NOTE: Left and right describes the location of a part with the operator facing the outlet panel. -
Page 10: Extension Cords
OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR There are basically 2 ways to obtain electricity from a generator: Use of extension cords directly from the generator to the appliance, lights, tools, etc. Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed directly to the main electrical supply outside of house. -
Page 11: Operation
KNOW YOUR GENERATOR Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before operation of your Generator. Compare the illustration in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save all manuals for future references. GENERATOR CAPACITY IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your generator and connected electrical devices. -
Page 12: Before Start-Up
12V DC OUTLET IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine to stabilize. IMPORTANT: When the unit is running the battery will charge. DO NOT connect the 12V DC cables to the generator’s battery. To charge battery: Using the 12V DC cables supplied, connect the red positive (+) 12V DC cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal. -
Page 13: To Start The Engine
TO START THE ENGINE Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Open the fuel shut-off valve on tank and engine. Move the choke control located on the engine to "CHOKE" position. NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines. -
Page 14: Stopping Engine

Page 16: Engine Preparation
If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage. Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or other gas appliances. -
Page 17: Wattage Calculations
WATTAGE CALCULATIONS Never exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Serious damage to the generator or appliance could result from an overload. 1. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the appliance or tool. 2. - Page 18 STARTING WATTAGE REQUIREMENTS Some appliances and tools will list on the motor nameplate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: Volts X Amp = Watts Example: 120 volts x 10 amps = 1200 watts To determine the approximate starting wattage requirement for most appliances and tools with inductive type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 to 4 times to assure adequate generator capacity.
