FULL ONE YEAR WARRANTY
INTRODUCTION
Your Owner’s Manual is meant to provide you with instructions for safe and proper operation of
the 4500 watt portable alternator. Read its contents carefully and comply with all instructions
and rules for safe operation. With proper care, your alternator will give years of dependable elec­
tric power.
A
CAUTION
Engines are shipped without oil. Any attempt to start your alternator before the recom­
mended oil has been properly added will result in an engine failure.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
A
Your portable alternator produces
dangerously high voltages. Never permit un­
qualified people - especially children - to
operate the unit.
Never handle electrical equipment
while standing in water, while barefoot, or
while hands are wet. This can result in
dangerous electrical shock.
Maintain electrical power cords in
good condition. Worn, bare or frayed elec­
trical cords are dangerous.
Make sure the wire gauge sizes of
electrical power cords are large enough to
handle the largest anticipated amperage of
electrical equipment. Using wires that are too
small to handle the amperage load is
dangerous.
Never run the alternator in any enclos­
ed area. Gasoline engines consume oxygen
and give off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.
Never install the alternator in any
enclosure or compartment that might
obstruct the free flow of cooling air. Severe
heat damage to the unit will occur.
Gasoline is highly flammable and ex­
plosive. Comply with local laws governing the
storage and handling of gasoline.
A
Use care when using your alternator.
Keep clear of moving parts. Never work on the
unit while it is running. Keep equipment clean
and
check frequently for loose, missing,
rusted or damaged nuts, bolts, and other
fasteners.
Never try to adjust governed engine
speed. High engine speed is dangerous. The
alternator will produce the required voltage
and frequency only at 3600 rpm.
