GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure all the parts shown on the Parts List on page 18
are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the
number shown on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.
SKU 54516 PAGE 3

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a gen
erator will increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immedi-
ately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating a generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing generators may result in serious personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Always wear heavy
duty leather work gloves.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the ON/Off Switch is in its OFF position.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove the Key from the Ignition.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may result
in personal injury.
SKU 54516 PAGE 4
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.

Installation Precautions:
1. WARNING! Before using the Generator, read and understand the Engine
manufacturer’s Operation, Maintenance, and Parts manual. Also, read the safety
precautions in
this manual. These should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury and damage to equipment.
2. Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, and local and national electrical
codes. Have installation performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and
building contractor.
3. All electrical work, including the earth-ground connection, should be completed
by a licensed electrician.
4. Any separate fuel storage Generator supply facility must be built or installed in
full compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal regulations.
5. If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the
building using leak-free, heat-resistant piping. Use the Generator only in
well ventilated areas. Running the Generator in an enclosed area such as a
garage, will produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless vapor that, if
inhaled, can cause serious injury or death. Pipes and silencer should not use
any flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same. Generator
exhaust fumes must be within legal limits.
6. If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be
soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the Generator
and wiring conduit.
7. Never lift the Generator using the engine or alternator lifting lugs. Connect lifting
equipment to the Frame of the Generator.
8. Before lifting the Generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure are in
good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
9. Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
10. The supporting ground surface should be level, and strong enough to safely hold
the weight of the Generator. If not level, strong cross members should be placed
under the full length of the Generator Frame at its low side.
SKU 54516 PAGE 7

11. For trailer installation, the Generator should be mounted on the center point of
the trailer, over the wheels.

trapping moisture within the Generator’s area.
Fire And Explosion Precautions:
1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper
fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire
extinguishers nearby.
2. Keep the Generator and surrounding area clean at all times.
3. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dispose of
fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and regula-
tions. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.
4. Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Generator.
5. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around the
Engine and Fuel Tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
6. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live
electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events could
ignite fumes or vapors.
7. Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is still
hot. Do not operate the Generator with known leaks in the fuel system.
8. Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create a
potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated failed start
attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs, open exhaust
system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate before attempt-
ing to restart the Generator.
9. Use only engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil.
Mechanical Precautions:
1. ALWAYS turn off the Engine when done using Generator. Allow the Engine to
completely cool, disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery, and
remove the Ignition Key before carrying out maintenance.
