EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It as designed to
supply electrical po er for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliances, tool and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz
devices that require up to 5,000 atts (5.0 kW) of
po er that pull up to 41.7 Amps at 120 Volts or
20.8 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generators
attage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated
atts of all devices you are connecting to
generator receptacles at one time. This total
should not be greater than 5,000 atts. In most
cases rated atts of the electrical device can be
found on the device nameplate. If the device
nameplate gives only volts and amps, multiply
volts times amps to obtain atts (volts X amps =
atts).
The 5,000 att generator has the follo ing features:
120/240 Volt, 20 Amp locking type receptacle and a
120 Volt, 30 Amp locking type receptacle.
120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacles.
Lo Oil Shutdo n: Automatically shuts do n the
engine if oil drops belo safe operation level.
Five gallon overhead fuel tank ith fuel gauge.
The generators revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by a Techumseh 10 h.p. engine.
WARNING! Do Not tamper ith engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury
or damage to equipment. The generator
supplies correct rated frequency and voltage
only hen running at proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage
some connected electrical loads. Operating at
excessively lo speeds imposes a heavy load.
When adequate engine po er is not available
engine life may be shortened.
SAFET RULES
This generator set as designed and manufactured
for specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the
unit or use it for any application it as not designed
for. If you have any questions about your generators
application, ask your Dealer or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that
reason arnings in the manual and arnings on tags
or decals affixed to the unit are not all-inclusive. If you
intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended by
the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method ill not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
The generator produces a very po erful voltage that
can cause extremely dangerous electrical shock.
Avoid contact ith bare ires, terminals, etc. Never
permit an unqualified person to operate or service
the generator.
Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
hile standing in ater, hile barefoot or hile
hands or feet are et. Dangerous electrical shock
may result.
The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also
require proper grounding of the generator. Consult
ith a local electrician for grounding requirements in
your area.
Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or
highly conductive area (such as metal decking or
steel ork).
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
