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
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a generator.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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.

UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure all the parts shown on the Parts Lists on
pages 18 and 20 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 92456 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
generator will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cords. Never use a Power Cord to carry tools or pull
the Plug from an outlet. Keep Power Cords away from heat, oil, sharp
edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Dam-
aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
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
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a generator. Do not use a generator while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating genera-
tors may result in serious personal injury.
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.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” posi-
tion, and disconnect the Spark Plug Wire when not in use.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved
safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application.
The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is de-
signed.
Do not use the generator if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any
generator that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.

GENERATOR USE AND CARE
Make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark
plug wire before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the generator. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
generator accidentally.
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged
generators “Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged,
have the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained generators.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become hazard-
ous when used on another generator.
SERVICE
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Generator and Engine. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk
of injury.
When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

Powering 120 Volt AC Tools And Equipment:
1. Prior to powering tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage,
and amperage capacity (115 VAC / 20 Amps) is adequate to supply all electri-
cal loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it
may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for con-
nection to a separate generator.
2. Once the Generator is running, simply connect the Power Cords of 115 volt AC
powered tools and equipment into the 115 volt AC Duel Outlets (6).
(See Figure G.)
3. NOTE: The Generator features an AC Non-Fuse Circuit Breaker (5) to protect the
AC circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur the Breaker will “trip”
to its “OFF” position, causing the Generator to automatically shut down. In this
case, refer to Step #1 above in this section. Then, reset the circuitry system by
turning the Circuit Breaker to its “ON” position. Restart the Generator and con-
tinue powering the remaining tools and equipment. (See Figure D.)
4. When finished using the Generator, turn the Engine Power Switch (2) to its “OFF”
position. Turn the Fuel Valve (40B) to its “OFF” position. Then, disconnect all
electrical powered tools and equipment from the Generator’s 115 volt AC Duel

5. After the Engine and Generator have completely cooled, store the Generator in a
safe, clean, dry location (if not already installed in one).
Powering 12 Volt DC Tools And Equipment:
1. Prior to powering a tool or equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage,
and amperage capacity (12 VDC / 10 Amps) is adequate to supply all electrical
loads that the unit will power. If powering exceeds the Generator’s capacity, it
may be necessary to group one or more of the tools and/or equipment for con-
nection to a separate generator.
2. Connect the Power Cord of a 12 VDC powered tool or equipment to the DC Ter-
minals (7). NOTE: Make sure to connect the positive (+) lead of the Power Cord
to the positive (+) Terminal on the Generator, and connect the negative (-) lead
of the Power Cord to the negative (-) Terminal on the Generator.
(See Figure H, next page.)
3. If using only a 12 volt DC tool or equipment, turn the 120 volt AC Circuit Breaker
(5) to its “OFF” position. (See Figure D.)
