INSTALLATION

WARNING
WARNING : To avoid possible personal injury
or equipment damage, a register electrician or
an authorized service representative should
perform installation and all service. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person
attempt to wire into utility circuit.
Give the generator at least two feet of space from
any nearby wall to dissipate heat.
1
To avoid back feeding into utility systems, isolation of
the residence electrical system is required.
2
Before temporary connection of the generator to
the residence system, turn off the main service
disconnecting device.
3
If your generator is to be used as a stand – by power
source in case of utility power failure, it should be
installed by a registered electrician and in compliance
with all applicable local electrical codes.
4
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch
be installed by licensed qualified electrician so that the
building's electrical circuits may be safely switched
between utility power and the generator output; thereby
preventing back feed into the power utility's electrical
system.
5
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to
the installation of any item that concerns this product.
1. NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code.
2. NFPA 37 – Standard for Installation and Use of
Stationary Combustible Engines.
3. Agricultural Wiring handbook of Farm Standby Electric
Power.

WARNING
WARNING : To avoid back feeding into
utility system, isolation of the residence
electrical system is required. Before
temporary connection of a generator
to the residence electrical system turn
off the main switch. Before making permanent
connections a double throw transfer switch
must be installed. To avoid electrocution or
property damage, only a trained electrician should
connect generator to residence electrical system.
California law requires isolation of the residence
electrical system before connecting generator to
residence electrical system.

BEFORE OPERATION

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
1
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to appropriate earth ground to help
prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected
to the frame of the generator has been provided for
this purpose. Connect a length of a heavy gauge (12
AWG min.) bare cooper cable between the ground lug
attached to the generator´s frame (identified with a label
with the ground symbol- see figure below) and a cooper
rod drawn 1 meter into the ground which should provide
a suitable ground connection. However, consult with
a local electrician to insure that local codes are being
adhered to.
Generator Ground Terminal
WARNING
WARNING: do not use a pipe carrying
combustible material as the ground
source.
2
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start the engine without filling the
engine crankcase with the proper amount and type of
oil. Use SAE 30 oil.
Your generator has been shipped from the factory without
oil in the engine crankcase. Operating the unit without oil
can damage the engine and lose the warranty.
Fill the engine according to the engine manual (page
5).
3
LOW OIL PRESSURE
The engine is protected for low oil pressure in the
lubrication pump, this is indicated by the light on the side
of key switch. Do not try to start the engine if the light
does not turn off.
4
FUEL
Fill the tank with unleaded fuel, clean and new. You can
use regular-grade fuel as long as it has a high octane
value (at least 85 octane). Always use a fuel additive.
A fuel additive will minimize the development of fuel
