Connecting Electrical Loads; Stopping The Engine - Firman P01201 Owner's Manual

Connecting Electrical Loads

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to
handle its full capacity. Before starting the
generator, disconnect all load. Apply load only
after generator is running. Voltage is regulated
via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for
correct output. Readjusting will void warranty.
CAUTION
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum
wattage rating of the generator when using one or
more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage
rating of any one receptacle.
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in
period (the first five hours of operations).
1.Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few
minutes after starting.
2.Ensure circuit breaker on control panel is in
on position.
3.Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt
AC, single phase, 60Hz electrical loads. It is
better to attach the item with largest load first.
Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company's power lines or to another power
source may be against the law. In addition this
action, if done incorrectly, could damage your
generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility
worker who may be working on nearby power
lines. If you plan to run a portable electric
generator during an outage, please notify your
electric utility company immediately and
remember to plug your appliances directly into
the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company
power lines. You are responsible for ensuring
that your generator's electricity does not feed
back into the electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
English
electrical system, consult your local utility
company or a qualified electrician. Connections
must isolate generator power from utility
power and must comply with all applicable laws
and codes.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with
electrical devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two
minutes to stabilize internal temperatures
of the engine and generator.
2. Press the engine switch to the "OFF"(O) position.
Do not leave the generator until it has
completely stopped.
3. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF"(O) position.
If a cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
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.
