Briggs & Stratton Powerlink On-Board Generator System - Manual (Page 3)

WARNING
The POWERLINK  On-Board Generator System produces
electricity that could result in death, serious injury and/or
property damage if proper precautions are not followed.
Maintain and use proper sized electrical cord sets and exten-
sion cords per electrical device specification. Use cords rated
for no less than 15 amps.
Use cords which are in good condition. Never use worn, bare,
frayed or otherwise damaged cord sets.
Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, and damaged cords.
Keep extension cord lengths at minimum possible length. Long
extension cords draw additional power.
Do not operate unit:
• in rain.
• if electrical cord or device, which is plugged into the GFCI
receptacle over heats.
• if electrical output is lost.
• if flame, spark or smoke is observed while unit is running.
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device while
standing in water, or while barefoot, or while hands and/or feet
are wet.
Running the POWERLINK  On-Board Generator System
produces heat.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
WARNING
Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as the inverter.
DANGER
The engine used in the POWERLINK  On-Board
Generator System gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless,
colorless, and poisonous gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or
death.
Never run POWERLINK  On-Board Generator System in an
enclosed area, even if doors or windows are open.
THE POWER IN POWERLINK 
The POWERLINK  On-Board Generator System will operate
continuously at 1000 watts output, and up to 1500 watts for brief
periods. Operating at loads above 1000 watts continuously may
trigger the POWERLINK
 system to reset and halt the electrical
output needed to power the load. The system produces 120 volts, 60
cycle AC electrical power. Prior to connecting any electrical device,
ensure compatibility of operating voltage and frequency
requirement.
The POWERLINK
 system output remains 120 volts throughout the
entire engine speed range. Output wattage increases with engine
speed. Select the engine speed that will power the electrical device
satisfactorily without triggering the POWERLINK reset.
CAUTION: Damage may result if the equipment
operates outside of a +/–10% voltage variation from the
rated voltage of 120V.
POWERLINK  OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
[1] Start the engine and set the desired engine speed.
[2] No load should be applied to the engine, (Power-Take-Off
should be disengaged) and the parking brake must be
LOCKED. If these are not done, the POWERLINK  system
will not operate.
[3] Actuate the POWERLINK  reset switch. Move the reset
switch to the OFF position and then return it to the ON position.
[4] Plug the electrical device into the GFCI receptacle and start
device. See also, Applying Device Load.
[5] Any time the engine stops, for any reason, the POWERLINK 
reset switch must be actuated. Follow the steps outlined
above. See also, Electrical Operating Power Loss.
