The instructions provided in this manual are done so to ensure the operator’s safety as well
as that of others, the equipment, and the job site. Failure to abide by these guidelines can
lead to serious personal injury and even death. The operator and any service personnel
should read and understand the entire manual before working with or servicing any Bartell
Electric Generator.

The Electric Generator manual should be kept at all times in a place that is acces-
sible to any persons working with the machine. Replacement manuals are available
from Bartell or from your local dealer.
Only use parts and attachments supplied or approved by your Bartell equipment
manufacturer. The consequences of modifying the design of this equipment can include personal
injury, equipment failure, and voiding your warranty. If you are unsure about a repair or an appar-
ent malfunction, contact your Bartell dealer or the phone contacts at the bottom of each page of this
manual.
Technical service bulletins, user’s manual updates, and other information are posted
on the Bartell website: http://www.bartellmorrison.com
Check this website periodically for updates or other potentially useful information
about your equipment.
NEVER use a Bartell Electric Generator in an enclosed space with poor air flow, such as
a basement or small room. The gasoline engine produces, among other things, toxic
carbon monoxide gas. Without proper ventilation, this gas will build up and cause
health effects such as organ damage and death to anyone in the vicinity.
NEVER operate the Bartell Electric Generator in a wet environment.
NEVER connect the Bartell Electric Generator to a power circuit if the commercial power supply is not
disconnected.
ALWAYS keep 3 ft. (1m) away from flammable materials.
The Generator operator should always be lucid and aware of his/her surroundings. NEVER operate
the Generator while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, fatigue, sickness, hangover, extreme de-
pression, emotional distraction, or medications/substances that may affect motor skills or judgment.
ALWAYS wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) while operating a Bartell Electric
Generator. This includes (but is not limited to) proper clothing, hearing protection and protective foot-
wear. Other safety gear may be job-site appropriate.
NEVER leave the equipment unattended while running.

ALWAYS ensure that the operators have been properly trained prior to using the equipment.
Children and small animals should NEVER be present in the work area during operation of a Bartell
Electric Generator.
ALWAYS check your Bartell Electric Generator for loose or missing nuts and bolts
before starting. Tighten any loose fasteners and replace missing or broken parts.
Perform all routine maintenance as described within this manual. Failure to do so
will void your warranty and will eventually result in premature equipment failure.
NEVER perform maintenance on a running piece of equipment. Shut down the engine and allow it to
cool before servicing a Bartell Electric Generator, including mechanical work or lubrication.
ALWAYS replace missing, damaged or unclear safety labels to ensure operator awareness and safety.
NEVER operate a Bartell Electric Generator with missing or damaged safety guards. Replace immedi-
ately with appropriate Bartell parts.
NEVER wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry around rotating equipment as it may become entangled
in the machinery, resulting in serious injury.
NEVER fuel a Bartell Electric Generator while the engine is running. Ensure the
engine has cooled sufficiently before refueling to avoid igniting gasoline fumes.
ALWAYS refuel a Bartell Electric Generator in a well-ventilated area, away from
ignition sources such as sparks, flames, and lit cigarettes. Smoking while fuelling
the equipment may result in explosion.
NEVER operate a Bartell Electric Generator in explosive environments such as those
where paint fumes, methane, natural gas, fine particulate, aerosol propellant, or
solvent fumes are present.
NEVER smoke near a Bartell Electric Generator as stray gasoline fumes may ignite.
Operating a Bartell Electric Generator around an open flame may also result in
explosion.
ALWAYS shut down the engine and allow it to cool before lifting or transporting a
Bartell Electric Generator.
ALWAYS tie down a Bartell Electric Generator when being transported in a truck or on a flatbed.
Empty the fuel tank if transporting over long distances.

CAUTION: Do not connect the generator to home power circuit. When this
connection is necessary, be sure that a skilled electrician does the job. Improper

If the generator is to supply power to more than two appliances, start them one
by one with the highest current rst.
NEVER connect the generator to a home power circuit without a
transfer switch. A transfer switch is required by the National Electric
Code for any connection of power to a home.
A transfer switch prevents back-feed, which occurs when power goes
back down the utility lines. Back-feed has the potential to cause a re
and can damage the generator. Even worse, back-feed can elec-
trocute any technicians working on the lines, causing injury or even
death.

1. Starting the generator. 2. Connecting the appliances.
3. Turn on the BREAKER or push down the Ac protector.
6-5. DC Application
The DC terminal may be used for charging 12V automotive-type batteries only.
● Connect the positive battery terminal to the positive generator terminal.
● Do not reverse the charging cables, or serious damage to the generator
and/or Battery may occur.
● Do not allow the free ends of the cable to touch each other, if this occur, it will
be short circuit the battery.
● When a large capacity battery is charged, excessive current flows (the value
varies depending on the discharged condition), and the fuse for DC current
will burn out.
When using automotive-type batteries with battery cables, be sure to
disconnect the minus pole battery cable from the battery before charging.
Connect the charging cable to the battery terminals and the DC terminal of
generator.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes well
away.
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, always connect
charging cables to battery first and only then to the generator. When
disconnecting, you should disconnect the cables at the generator first.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated place.
Before charging, remove the cap from each cell of the battery, Discontinue
charging if the electrolyte temperature exceeds 45°C.

Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, ames and cigarettes well away.
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, always connecting charging
cables to the battery rst and then only to the generator. When disconnecting, remove the
cables at the generator end rst.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated place.
Before charging, remove the cap from each cell of the battery. Discontinue charging if the
electrolyte temperature exceeds 45C.
