Maintenance - Briggs & Stratton 030670-00 Manual

Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads Figure
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in
accordance with IEC 245-4 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. When using extension cords under 40°
C, the total length of cords for a cross section of 1.5 mm²
should not exceed 50 m or for a cross section of 2.5 mm²
should not exceed 80 m.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury. Electrical equipment,
including cables and plug connections, should not be
defective.
NOTICE Ensure main breaker (D) (6200A ONLY) is in
ON (I) position. Connect electrical loads in off position
then turn on for operation.
230 Volt AC, 16 Amp, Schuko Receptacle
Use receptacle (E) to operate 230 Volt AC, single-phase,
50 Hz electrical loads. The receptacle is protected
against overload by a push-to-reset circuit breaker (C).
Protection of electrical components depends on circuit
breakers specifically matched to the generator. Replace
circuit breaker with identical rating and performance
characteristics.
WARNING! Generator voltage could cause
electrical shock or burn resulting in death or
serious injury. Use a residual-current device
(RCD) in any damp or highly conductive area, such as
metal decking or steel work. 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. Keep children a safe distance from
generator.
Step 5: Generator Shut Down
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for one minute to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Push engine switch to OFF (0) position.
4. Rotate fuel valve to OFF (0) position.

General Recommendations
Regular maintenance will improve performance and
extend the life of the outdoor generator. See any Briggs
& Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for service.
Installation and major repair work should only be
performed by specifically trained personnel.
The generator's warranty does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, the operator must
maintain the generator as instructed in this manual.
All service and adjustments should be made at least
once each season. A new spark plug and clean air filter
assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine
run better and last longer. Follow requirements in
Maintenance Schedule.
WARNING To ensure machine safety, use only
original spare parts from the manufacturer or approved
by the manufacturer. Should you have questions about
