2.4 HOW TO USETHEGENERATOR
If thereare any problems operatingthe generator,pleasecall the
generatorhelplineat 1-888-436-3722.
2.4.1 GROUNDINGTHEGENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductiveparts of this generator be
properlyconnectedto an approved earth ground (Figure 8).
Local electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
unit. Forthat purpose, connectinga No. 10 AWG(AmericanWire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and to an
earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides
adequateprotectionagainstelectricalshock. However,localcodes
may vary widely. Consultwith alocalelectricianfor grounding
requirementsin the area.
Figure8-Groundingthe Generator

Propergroundingofthe generatorwill help preventelectrical
shockin the event of a ground fault condition in the generator
or in connectedelectrical devices. Proper grounding also helps
dissipate static electricity, which often builds up in ungrounded
devices.
2.4.2 CONNECTINGELECTR/CALLOADS
DONOTconnect240 Volt loadsto 120 Volt receptacles.DONOT
connect 3-phaseloads to the generator.DONOTconnect 50 Hz
loadsto thegenerator.
*Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
*Plug in and turn on the desired 120 or 240 Volt AO, single
phase,60 Hzelectricalloads.
*Add up the ratedwatts (or amps) of all loadsto be connected
at onetime. This total should not be greaterthan (a) the rated
wattage/amperagecapacity of the generator or (b) circuit
breakerratingof thereceptaclesupplyingthe power.See"Don't
Overloadthe Generator".
2.5 DON'TOVEBLOADTHEGENEBATOB
Overloadinga generatorin excess of its ratedwattage capacity
can result in damageto the generatorandto connectedelectrical
devices.Observethefollowing to preventoverloadingthe unit:
*Addupthetotal wattageofall electricaldevicesto be connected
at one time. This total should NOT be greater than the
generator'swattagecapacity.
*The ratedwattageof lights can be takenfrom light bulbs. The
ratedwattageof tools, appliancesand motors can usually be
found on a datalabelor decalaffixedto the device.
*If the appliance,toot or motor does not givewattage, multiply
voltstimes ampereratingto determinewatts (voltsx amps =
watts).
*Some electric motors, such as induction types, require about
threetimes morewatts of powerfor startingthan for running.
This surge of power lasts only a few seconds when starting
such motors.Makesureto allowfor high startingwattagewhen
selectingelectricaldevicesto connectto the generator:
1. Figurethe watts neededto start the largestmotor.
2. Add to that figure the running watts of all other connected
loads.
TheWattageReferenceGuideis providedto assist in determining
how many itemsthe generatorcan operateatonetime.
NOTE:
All figures are approximate. See data label on appliancefor
wattage requirements.

2.12CHARGINGTHEBATTERY(ELECTRICSTART
UNITSONLY)
Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen
gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
,_Do not permit smoking, open flame, sparks
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns, if spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
NOTE:
The battery shipped withthe generator has been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its chargewhen not in use for
prolongedperiodsof time. If the battery isunable to crankthe
engine, plugin the 12V chargerincludedin the accessory box
(seesection"Chargingthe Battery").RUNNINGTHEGENERATOR

or other gas appliance.
,_AIIow unit to cool entirely before storage.
3.7 LONGTERMSTORAGE
It is importantto preventgum depositsfrom forming in essential
fuel systemparts such asthe carburetor,fuel hoseor tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol,ethanolor methanol)can attract moisture,which
leadsto separationandformation of acids during storage.Acidic
gascan damagethefuel systemof an enginewhile in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
beforestorageof 30 daysor longer,asfollows:
*Removeall gasolinefrom the fueltank.
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame. Be sure engine is cool.
Do not smoke.
* Start and run engineuntilenginestopsfrom lack of fuel.
* Whileengineis still warm, drain oil from crankcase.Refillwith
recommendedgrade.
*Removespark plugandpour about1/2 ounce(15 ml) of engine
oil into the cylinders. Coverspark plug hole with rag. Puttthe
recoil starter a couple times to lubricatethe piston rings and
cylinder bore.
ACAUTION!
,_Avoid spray from spark plug hole when
cranking engine.
