• Slowly add unleadedregular fuel to fuel tank. Be careful
not to overfitLAllow about 1.5"of tank spacefor fuel
expansion (Figure 3).
Fuel
• Install fuel capand wipe up any spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT= It isimportantto prevent gum deposits
from forming in essentialfuel system parts,such asthe
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.Also,
experience indicatesthat alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol,ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which
leadsto separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic fuel can damagethe fuel system of an enginewhile in
storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 daysor longer.See"Storage"
on page I I. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damagemay occur.

GROUNDING THE
G EN ERATO R
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground. Local
electrical codes mayalso require proper grounding of the
unit. For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING NUT is
provided on the generator end (Figure 4).
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loadsfrom the generator. Use the
following start instructionsteps by numerical order:
I. Rotate the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 5).
2. Move the choke leverto the "Choke" position
(Figure6).Your unit may appear slightly different from
that shown here.
Wing Nut
Generally,connecting a No. 12AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wingnut
and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical
shock. Be careful to keepthe grounding wire attached after
connecting the stranded copper wire. However, local codes
may vary widely.Consult with a local electrician for
grounding requirements in your area.
Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical
shock if aground fault condition exists in the generator or
in connected electrical devices,especiallywhen the unit is
equipped with a wheel kit. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in
ungrounded devices.
OPERATING THE
G EN ERATO R
ACAUTION! NEVERstart or stop the engine
with electrical loadsconnected to the receptacles
AND with the connected devicesturned ON.
3. Setthe rocker switch to "On" position (Figure 7).
in On
4. Grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly untilslight
resistance isfelt.Then pull rapidly to start engine.
5. Move choke leverto "Run" position a short distanceat
a time over severalsecondsin warm weather or
minutes in cold weather.Let engine run smoothly before
eachchange.Operate with choke in"Run" position.
Refer to the engine owner's manual for more
detailed starting instructions.
/7

Connecting Electrical Loads
•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Plugin and turn on the desired 120Volt AC, singlephase,
60 Hz electrical loads.
• DO NOT connect 240Vott loads to the 120Volt duplex
receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loadsto the generator.
•DO NOT OVERLOADTHE GENERATOR. See
"Don't Overload the Generator" on page 9.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles.NEVER start or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned ON.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move rocker switch to "Off' position.
• Move the fuel valve to the "Off' position.
RECEPTACLES
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Eachpair of receptacles (Figure 8) is protected against
overload by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120Volt AC, single-phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2400 watts (2.4 kW)
at 20Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for
125Volt AC loads at 20Amps (or greater).
_AUTION! Although each receptacle is rated for
120Volts at 20 Amps (2400 watts or 2.4kVV),the
generator is rated for a total of 3,250 watts.
Powering loads that exceed the wattage capacity of
the generator can damageit or causeserious
injuries.The total of loads powered through these
receptacles should not exceed 20Amps.
/8

DON'T OVERLOAD YOUR
G EN ERATO R
Capacity
You must make sure your generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the itemsyou
will power at the sametime. Follow these simple steps:
I. Select the itemsyou wilt power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.Thisis
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your itemsrunning. SeeFigure 9.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you wilt
need.Surge wattage isthe short burst of power
needed to start electric motor-driven tools or
appliancessuch asa circular saw or refrigerator.
Becausenot all motors start at the sametime, total
surge watts can be estimated by addingonly the
item(s)with the highest additional surge watts to the
total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when addingelectrical loads to
your generator.There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safeway to managegenerator power is to sequentially
add loads asfollows:
I. With nothingconnected to the generator, start the
engine asdescribed in this manual.
2. Plugin 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
specialcare to consider surgeloads in generator capacity,
asdescribed above.

Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry
environment where it will not be exposed to excessive
dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air
slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow,
leaves or any other foreign material.
NOTE: DO NOT use a garden hose to clean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, if water enters generator through cooling air slots,
some of the water wilt be retained in voids and cracks of
the rotor and stator winding insulation.Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
To Clean the Generator
A AUTION! NEVER insert any object or tool
through the air cooling slots, even if the engine is
not running.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean.
• A soft bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on dirt
or oil.
• A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt and
debris.
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used to
blow awaydirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening on
generator.These openings must be kept clean and
unobstructed.
/10

STO RAG E
The generator should be started at least once every seven
claysand allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot
be done and you must store the unit for more than
30 days,usethe following guidelinesto prepare it for
storage.
Generator Storage
•Clean the generator asoutlined in"To Clean the
Generator"
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.
_AUTION! Storage covers canbe flammable.
DO NOT place a storage cover over a hot
generator. Let the unit coot for a sufficient time
before placingthe cover on the unit.
Engine Storage
See engine owner's manualfor instructions.
Other Storage Tips
• To prevent gum from forming in fuel system or on
essentialcarburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh fuel. Runthe unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuelstabilizer can be purchased locally.
• DO NOT store fuel from one seasonto another unless
it hasbeen treated as described above.
• Replace fuel container if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
