Functional Description
The EGES14020T was designed as a mobile and stationary power source, providing power in the form of
either compressed air or electricity, to drive pneumatic and electrical equipment, or for welding metals. Its
base motive force is provided by an air-cooled 4 cycle 14 horsepower Kohler gasoline engine. In common
with most generators, the engine is regulated to respond to demand, powering up when needed to produce
electricity or air, and running at idle until needed again. As a compressor, it can provide an air volume of 16.8
scfm at 175 psi and with a 20 gallon reservoir. The generator produces 5000 continuous watts (5500 peak
watts) of AC electrical power. Its electrical output will enable 190 amp DC stick welding with an 80% duty
cycle.
Please use the photos below, opposite, and on the following pages to familiarize yourself with the various
functions and locations of the salient parts of this unit.

Lifting Safety
1. CAREFULLY INSPECT ALL LIFTING
EQUIPMENT and make sure it is in good
condition. Rated capacity should exceed
compressor weight. Make sure lifting hook has
a functional safety latch or equivalent and is
properly attached to lifting feature.
2. MAKE SURE LIFTING POINT EYEBOLTS
ARE IN GOOD CONDITION and tighten any
loose nuts or bolts before lifting.
3. USE PROVIDED LIFTING FEATURE OR
APPROPRIATE SLING. A sling must be used
when moving compressor with a helicopter or
other air-borne equipment. Be sure to follow
OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910 Subpart N.
4. USE GUIDE ROPES OR EQUIVALENT to
prevent twisting or swinging of the compressor
while it is in the air and NEVER attempt to lift
in high winds. Keep compressor as low to the
ground as possible.
5. KEEP PERSONS AWAY and make sure no one
is under the compressor while it is lifted.
6. ONLY USE LIFTING FEATURES PROVIDED
FOR ENTIRE COMPRESSOR PACKAGE.
NEVER use bolts or other hooks on invididual
components to move the compressor.
7. MAKE SURE TO PUT COMPRESSOR ON A
LEVEL SURFACE that can support the weight
of the compressor and loading equipment.
Gasoline Engine Safety
This unit is powered by a gasoline engine. The
use of a gasoline engine to power the pump brings
a particular set of safety considerations into play,
primarily dictating outdoor use only.
1. FOLLOW all the gasoline engine manufacturer's
instructions, guidelines and recomendations,
which come in a manual separate from this one.
2. CHOOSE A SUITABLE SITE FOR YOUR
COMPRESSOR/WELDER /GENERATOR to
prevent possible death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, injury from re or explosion, hot
surfaces and equipment tip-over.
3. USE PROPER FUEL STORAGE AND
HANDLING PROCEDURES. Gasoline fuel and
fumes are ammable, and potentially explosive.
Do not store fuel or other ammable materials
nearby.
4. HAVE MULTIPLE ABC CLASS FIRE
EXTINGUISHERS NEARBY.
5. OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT MAY
CREATE SPARKS THAT CAN START FIRES
AROUND DRY VEGETATION. A spark arrestor
may be required. Contact local re agencies for
laws or regulations relating to re prevention
requirements.
6. SET UP AND USE ONLY ON A FLAT, LEVEL
SURFACE in a well ventilated area.
7. DO NOT ALLOW TO BE EXPOSED to rain,
snow, or direct sunlight.
8. BE SURE NO FLAMMABLE VAPORS,
DUSTS, AND GASES are present.
9. MAINTAIN 7 FEET (2.1 M) DISTANCE from
combustible materials
10. KEEP A MINIMUM OF 20 FEET (6.1 M) from
residences, away from windows, vents and air
intakes.
11. PLACE AWAY FROM OTHER HEAT-
GENERATING EQUIPMENT.
Positioning
1. THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE MOUNTED
ON A DRY, FIRM, AND LEVEL SURFACE. It
must sit level and be stabilized so it will not slide
or shift during operation. On transport vehicles,
prevent the unit from rolling, slipping, and tilting.
2. SITUATE SO THERE IS ADEQUATE
PULLING ROOM for starting the engine using
the recoil starter, at least in some situations.
Attempting to pull at an odd angle may rip o󰀨 grip
cord and/or cause injuries to the operator.
