OPERATION
Use clean, fresh gasoline with a minimum 87 octane rating. Do
not add gasoline during or immediately after use.
Refer to engine owner's manual for oil recommendations.
Most generators are equipped with a low-oil shutdown. If the oil
is low or if the generator is not level, the engine will not start.
Make wattage calculations before use. Refer to general
operator's manual for further instructions.
Contact an electrician for any wiring instructions. If wiring into a
house, a double-throw transfer switch and a heavy duty cord
set must be used.
Use a standard (12V) lawn and garden battery with a minimum
of 45 A.H. or 210 CCA.
The voltage and frequency are regulated by the rpm's of the
engine. Do not adjust the throttle or governor to achieve higher
performance. This will only alter the factory pre-set settings
and damage anything connected to the generator.
Be sure a volt/amp surge protector is used when sensitive
electronic equipment is used, such as: televisions, computers,
stereos, and etc… The damage of such equipment without the
use of a protector WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
Do not adjust or attempt maintenance without consulting engine
manual or an authorized engine service center.
Add stabilizer to fuel tank and run engine for 5 minutes before
storage.
When in long term storage, operate the generator every 60 days
for at least 10 minutes with a load on it. This will prevent the
loss of residual magnetism that produces the electricity.
Allow the generator to run 5 minutes at no load for the engine
and the gen head to stabilize.
Make sure the adequate size of extension cord is used. Refer to
the Grounding Instructions/Extension Cord section of the
owners manual.
If the generator is operating equipment that is drawing half of
the rated watts it is considered 50% load. Using all of the rated
watts is considered 100% load.
