1.3 EMISSIONS INFORMATION

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that
this generator comply with exhaust and evaporative emission
standards. This generator is certified to meet the applicable EPA
emission levels on gasoline. The emission control system on this
generator consists of the following:
• Fuel System
~ Carburetor
~ Fuel Tank/cap
~ Fuel Lines
~ Evaporative Vent Lines
• Exhaust System
~ Exhaust Manifold
~ Muffler
It is important to perform the service specified in the Maintenance
Schedule to ensure that the generator complies with the applicable
emission standards for the duration of its useful life. Additionally,
emissions critical maintenance must be performed as scheduled
in order for the Emissions Warranty to be valid. Emissions critical
maintenance consists of servicing the air filter and spark plugs in
accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. Service and repairs
may be performed by any capable person or repair shop.

2.1 KNOW THE GENERATOR

Read the entire Owner's Manual and Safety Rules before
operating this generator.
Compare the generator to Figures 3 through 6 to become
familiarized with the locations of various controls and adjustments.
Save this manual for future reference.
1. Choke Knob – Used when starting a cold engine (Pull/Push).
2. Engine Switch – Controls the operation of the generator. On
electric start models the switch is Start/Run/Stop. On recoil
start models the switch is On/Off.
3. Fuel Shut Off – Valve between fuel tank and carburetor. Turn
off and run carburetor out of fuel for extended storage.
4. Panel LED's – Provide illumination of the control panel while
the generator is operating.
5. 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Locking Receptacle – Supplies
electrical power for the operation of 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,
30 Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz, electrical lighting, appliance,
tool and motor loads.
6. 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, GFCI Duplex Receptacle – Supplies
electrical power for the operation of 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp,
single-phase, 60 Hz electrical lighting, appliance, tool and
motor loads. It also provides protection with an Integral
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, complete with a press to
"Test" and "Reset" button.
7. Circuit Breakers (AC) – Each 20 Amp receptacle is provided
with a push-to-reset circuit breaker to protect the generator
against electrical overload.

Operation

w/o Filter Change = 1.2 Qts.
