Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your product. Know its applications, its
limitations, and any hazards involved. Save these
original instructions for future reference.
The inverter generator is an engine–driven, revolving
field, alternating and direct current (AC & DC) generator.
It was designed to supply electrical power for operating
compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and
motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is driven
at about 4,500 rpm (with QPT™ (QUIET POWER
TECHNOLOGY™) switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.
The inverter generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using extension cords or an optional parallel
kit. This inverter generator is not intended to restore power to
a home. Extension cords running directly into the home
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through
openings. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this
manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the
generator and this documentation at any time without prior notice.
NOTICE If you have questions about intended use, contact an
authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to be used
with Briggs & Stratton authorized parts only.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals on the
AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is floating,
which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from
the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins.
Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring a grounded
neutral may not operate properly from this generator.
Earthing of the generator is not required.
Special Requirements
There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances that
apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult
a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local
agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a construction
site.

Operation
Operation
Step 1: Safe Location
Before starting the inverter generator there are two equally
important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide
poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment,
such as an inverter generator, contains carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot
smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust
fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that
detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there
is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert the
occupants by flashing visual indicator light and alarm.
Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate this product only outdoors far away from
windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon
monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being
drawn towards occupied spaces.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run this product inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially-
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
• Always place this product downwind and point the
engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this
product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You may
have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide alarm
Install carbon monoxide alarms inside
your home. Without working carbon
monoxide alarms, you will not realize
you are getting sick and dying from
carbon monoxide poisoning.

Operation
Step 2: Oil and Fuel
Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF or
higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the
outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 4°C (40°F) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 27°C (80°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check oil level more frequently.
Checking/Adding Engine Oil
Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least
every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.
1. Place generator on a level surface.
2. Loosen the two maintenance cover screws and
remove the side maintenance cover.
3. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.
4. Verify oil is at the point of overflowing at the oil fill
opening.
5. If needed, using oil funnel, slowly pour recommended
engine oil into oil fill opening to the point of overflowing.
NOTICE DO NOT attempt to crank or start engine before
it has been properly serviced with recommended oil. This
could result in an engine failure.
6. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.
7. Replace the maintenance cover and hand tighten the
two maintenance cover screws.
Add Fuel
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded fuel with a minimum of
87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).
• Gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10% is acceptable.
E10
E15
NOTICE Do not mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on
alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels could damage
engine and will not be covered under warranty.
See High Altitude for 1524 m (5,000 ft.) and above.
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable which could cause burns or fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Do not refuel during operation.
• Turn engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before
removing fuel cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors. Keep fuel away from sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.
2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator in
fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This
allows adequate space for fuel expansion.

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate
before starting engine.
High Altitude
At altitudes over 1524 m (5,000 ft.), a minimum 85 octane/85
AKI (89 RON) fuel is acceptable. To remain emissions
compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation
without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,
increased fuel consumption,
and increased emissions.
See an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high altitude
adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below
762 m (2,500 ft.) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.
Transporting
When transporting equipment with a vehicle or trailer, turn engine
switch to OFF (0) position. Do not tip engine or equipment at an
angle which causes fuel to spill.
Step 3: Generator Start Up
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.
NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may
cause the unit to shut down.
2. Turn the engine switch to the ON (I) position.
3. Push choke lever to CHOKE ( ) position.
NOTICE To start the engine for the very first time, after
running out of fuel or after a long period of storage, fill fuel
tank as described in Add Fuel. It will require more than
several start attempts until the air in the fuel system has
been purged.
5. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight
resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine.
6. Slowly move choke lever to RUN ( ) position. If
engine falters, move choke lever to half choke position
until engine runs smoothly, and then to RUN ( )
position.
NOTICE If engine starts but fails to run, see Low Oil
Indicator.
QPT (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY™)
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When this switch is turned ON (I), the engine speed will
increase as electrical loads are connected, and decreased
as electrical loads are removed.
With the switch off, engine will run at full governed speed.
NOTICE Always have the switch OFF (0) when starting or
stopping the generator or when using the DC receptacle.
Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads
Make sure the green output indicator light comes on (it
may take up to three seconds).
Using Extension Cords
When using extension cords or mobile distribution
networks, the total length of cords for a cross section of
1.5mm2should not exceed 60 m, for a cross section of
2.5mm2this should not exceed 100 m.
Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor
use rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.
WARNING! Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE For generator output required see Generator
Capacity. Connect electrical loads in off position then turn
on for operation.
230 Volt AC, 15 Amp Receptacles
These receptacles are protected against overload by an
internal overload system.

Generator Capacity
To make sure your generator can supply enough running
watts and starting watts for the items you will power at the
same time, follow these simple steps:
1. Select the items you will power at the same time. See
following list for typical wattages.
* Typical wattages listed are approximate only. Check tool
or appliance for actual wattage.
** Per Briggs & Stratton 628K, Starting Watts represents
the momentary electrical current the generator can
provide to start electric motors. Starting Watts does
not represent the power required to continuously run
electrical loads. Starting Watts is the maximum current
that can momentarily be supplied when starting a motor,
multiplied by the generator’s rated voltage.
2. Total the running watts. This is the amount of power
your generator must produce to keep your items
running. See following example:
Example
Total running watts = 2355
Highest starting watts = 2000
Total generator watts required = 4355
3. Estimate the starting watts you will need. Because not
all motors start at the same time, total starting wattage
can be estimated by adding only the item with the
highest additional starting watts requirements to the
total running watts from step 2.
Power Management
To manage generator power, sequentially add loads as
follows:
1. With nothing connected to generator, start the engine
outdoors.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly).
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity.
Step 6: Generator Shutdown
1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. Never stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
2. Let engine run at no-load for one minute to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine switch to OFF (0) position.

Storage
If storing the unit for more than 30 days, use the following
guidelines to prepare it for storage.
Long Term Storage Instructions
1. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning.
2. Change engine oil while engine is still warm, drain oil
from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See
Changing Engine Oil.
3. Treat or drain fuel from generator as fuel can become
stale when stored over 30 days.
Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment
& Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine
service parts are sold. See Common Service Parts.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout
the fuel system before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel
stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a
fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to
maintain freshness.
WARNING! Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive which could cause
burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or
serious injury.
• When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in tank, store
away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers
or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition
source because they could ignite fuel vapors.
• When draining fuel, turn generator engine off and let it
cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen
cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank. Drain fuel tank
outdoors. Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
4. Store generator in clean, dry area and cover with a
suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.
WARNING! Storage covers could cause a fire
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Do not place a storage cover over a hot generator. Let
equipment cool for a sufficient time before placing the
cover on the equipment.

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are
derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at
3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and
air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than
net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide
array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of
power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner,
exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity,
altitude), and engine-to engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of
higher rated power for this engine.
* This generator is rated in accordance with Briggs & Stratton standard 628K.
** Generator rated in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standard C22.2 No. 100-14, Motors and Generators.
§ Measured sound values in accordance to AS 2790-1989, Electricity Generating Sets - Transportable (Up to 25 kw).

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for
warranty service may not be appropriate. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper use or abuse,
improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s
Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical
corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or
repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.
Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal
use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are
not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or
equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.
Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration.
Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in
place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or
engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
