SAFETY LABEL LOCATION These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read them carefully. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your generator dealer for a replacement.
WARNING! Do not connect to a building’s electrical system unless a transfer switch has been installed by a qualified electrician. Using a generator or an electrical appliance in wet conditions such as rain or snow or near a pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution.
• Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks where the generator is refueled or where gasoline is stored. • Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Fuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has started. Make sure that any spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the generator.
CONTROLS Engine Switch To start and stop the engine. Switch position: OFF: To Stop the engine. Key can be removed/inserted. To run the engine after starting. START: To start the engine by turning the starter motor. Return the key to the ON position once the engine has started. Do not use the starter for more than 5 seconds at a time.
Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The QB1300 does not have this feature.
battery must be connected to the generator DC terminals with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator red terminal and battery negative to the generator black terminal.) DC Circuit Protector The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the generator is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery or the connections between the battery and the generator are improper.
exceed that of the generator, Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated and maximum may be used for no more than 5 minutes. NOTICE Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
Disconnecting the battery cables: 1. Stop the engine. 2. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the generator negative (-) terminal. 3. Disconnect the other end of the negative (-) battery cable from the battery negative (-) terminal. 4. Disconnect the positive (+) battery cable from the generator positive (+) terminal. 5.
Fuel Recommendation 1. Check the fuel level gauge. 2. Refill the tank if the fuel level is low. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer. WARNING Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name Gasohol. Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) Gasoline containing methanol must contain co solvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system.
STOPPING In an emergency: 1. To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine switch to the OFF position. In normal use: 1. Turn the AC circuit breaker to the OFF position. 2. Disconnect all electrical loads from panel receptacles. Disconnect DC battery charging cables.
Maintenance Schedule Notes 1) Service more frequently when used in dusty areas. 2) These items should be serviced by an authorized generator dealer, unless owner has proper tools and is mechanically proficient. 3) For professional commercial use, log hours of operation to determine proper maintenance intervals.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for disposal. Do not throw it in the trash or pour it on the ground. Air cleaner service A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor.
Fuel Sediment Cup Cleaning The sediment cup prevents dirt or water, which may be in the fuel tank, from entering the carburetor. If the engine has not been run for a long time, the sediment cup should be cleaned. 1. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. Remove the sediment cup, O-ring, and filter. 2.
NOTICE The spark plug must be securely tightened. An improperly tightened spark plug can become very hot and could damage the engine. Never use spark plugs which have an improper heat range. Use only the recommended spark plugs or equivalent. TRANSPORTATION/STORAGE When transporting the generator, turn the engine switch and the fuel valve OFF.
