when the generator is not operating. This can dam-
age the generator or cause personal injury.
Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain
all fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.
Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
generator from site to site. Improper lifting tech-
niques may result in personal injury.
To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other
engine or generator surfaces which became hot dur-
ing operation.
Do not alter or modify the heat shield.
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH A
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be used
around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, forests,
brush, grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark
arrester should be installed and is legally required in the State
of California. The California statutes requiring a spark arrester
are Sections 13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark Arresters are
also required on some U.S. Forest Service land and may also
be legally required under other statutes and ordinances. An
approved spark arrester is available from our product dealers, or
may be ordered from Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.,
P.O. Box 35, Highway 8, Pickens, SC 29671, 1-866-340-3912.
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER
A power line conditioner should be used when any of the
following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment
DETERMINING TOTAL WATTAGE
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the
connected load. To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items simul-
taneously.
Check wattage requirements for the items you will be running
by referring to the load’s nameplate or by calculating it (mul-
tiply amps x volts = watts).
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts
and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 KW = 1,000 watts
Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated
wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2-1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for start-
ing equipment powered by electric motors.
The generator’s rated watts should match or exceed the total
number of watts required for the equipment you want to run.
Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then
add other items one at a time.
CAUTION:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic
equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage mayresultif the equipmentisnotdesigned
to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz
frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To
avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into
the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television
set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for
some solid state applications.

GENERATOR CAPACITY
Make sure the generator can supply enough continuous
(running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will
power at the same time. Follow these simple steps.
1. Selecttheitemsyouwillpoweratthesametime.
2. Totalthe continuous (running) wattsoftheseitems.Thisis
the amount of power the generator must produce to keep the
items running. See the wattage reference chart at right.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start
electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular
saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same
time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total
rated watts from step 2.

POWER MANAGEMENT
To prolong the life of the generator and attached devices,
it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to
the generator. There should be nothing connected to the
generator outlets before starting its engine. The correct
and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially
add loads as follows:
1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as
described later in this manual.
2. Plug in 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
special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity
as previously described.

Cast-iron cylinder sleeve
Receptacles on control panel
Cord retainer
4 gallon fuel tank
Portability Kit
CONTROL PANEL
A. 120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the
receptacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within
nameplate ratings. These receptacles may be used along with
the twistlock receptacle provided the generator is not over-
loaded.
B. 120/240 V, 20 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 20 amps may be drawn from the 120/240
volt receptacle, provided it is the only receptacle used. However,
current must be limited to the nameplate rating. If the 120/240
volt receptacle is used along with the 120 volt receptacle, the
total load drawn must not exceed the nameplate ratings.
C. Circuit Breakers
The receptacles are protected by an AC circuit breaker. If
the generator is overloaded or an external short circuit occurs,
the circuit breaker will trip. If this occurs, disconnect all electri-
cal loads and try to determine the cause of the problem before
attempting to use the generator again. If overloading causes the
circuit breaker to trip, reduce the load. NOTE: Continuous trip-
ping of the circuit breaker may cause damage to generator
or equipment. The circuit breaker may be reset by pushing the
button of the breaker.
D. Cord Retainer
The cord retainer is used to prevent plugs from being pulled
out of the 120-volt receptacles.

To avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage,
registered electrician or an authorized service representative
should perform installation and all service. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person attempt to wire
into a utility circuit.
WARNING:
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required. Before temporary
connection of a generator to the residence electrical system
turnoffthemainswitch. Beforemakingpermanentconnections
a double throw transfer switch To avoid electrocution or
property damage, only a trained electrician should connect
generatortoresidenceelectricalsystem.Californialawrequires
isolation of the residence electrical system before connecting
a generator to residence electrical systems. Temporary
connection not recommended due to backfeeding.
Always follow local codes and regulations that apply to
the installation of any item that concerns this product.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help pre-
vent electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the frame
of the generator has been provided for this purpose. Connecting
a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire between
the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground should provide a suitable ground connection. However,
consult with a local electrician to insure that local codes are
being adhered to.
GROUND TERMINAL LOCATION:
ground lug
WARNING:
Do not use a pipe as the ground source.

10
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the crank
case with the proper amount and type of lubricant. (See the
accompanying engine manual for this information.) Your genera-
tor has been shipped from the factory without lubricant in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without lubricant can damage the
engine.
Fill the engine with lubricant according to the engine man-
ual. For units with a dipstick, fill lubricant to the proper level.
Units without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening
of the lubricant fill.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline.
Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high octane
rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We recommend
always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the
formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel sta-
bilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the
gasoline in a storage container. Do not use E85 fuel.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/4 inch
below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in
hot weather and prevent overflow.
STARTING THE UNIT
DANGER:
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury or death can result
from fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.
Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
Do not mix lubricant with gasoline.
Follow all instructions and warnings in the engine
manual.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during
shipment.
WARNING:
Thisgenerator mustnotbeoperatedwithoutallfactoryinstalled
heat shields in place. Failure to comply may cause the fuel
tank to overheat and result in personal injury from fire.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Check lubricant level and fuel.
Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.
Open fuel shut off valve.
Adjust choke as necessary.
Set the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Pull on the starter rope with fast steady pull. As the engine
warms up, readjust the choke.
DANGER:
Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust gases and
cooling air flow.
Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed area, even
if door or windows are open.
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless,
poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting
or death.
CAUTION:
Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each
initial start-up to permit engine and generator to stabilize.

11
APPLYING LOAD
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full
capacity. When starting the generator, disconnect all load. Apply
load only after generator is running. Voltage is regulated via the
engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct output. Read-
justing will void warranty.
CAUTION:
When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum wattage
rating of the generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of any one
receptacle.
SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF
Remove entire electrical load.
Let the engine run for a few minutes without load.
Move the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Do not leave the generator until it has completely stopped.
Close the fuel shut off valve if the engine is to be put in stor-
age or transported.
If cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Controlled break-in helps insure proper engine and gen-
erator operation. Follow engine procedure outlined in engine
manual.
CAUTION:
Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in period (the
first two to three hours of operations).
MAINTENANCE
GENERATOR: BRUSHES (BRUSH TYPE UNITS ONLY)
The brushes in the generator should be inspected once
every year for chips and cracks. Brushes should be replaced
when they are worn to 1/4 inch (7 mm).
NOTE: Replace brushes in sets only, never separately.
INSPECTING THE BRUSHES:
Turn the generator off.
Remove cover plate (R).
Disconnect the green (–) or
blue (+) brush wires from
the tab.
Remove brush mounting
screws (S).
Slide brushes (T) from hold-
ers.
Replace if worn to 1/4 inch (7mm).
Do not over tighten screws.
NOTE: Replace only with brushes specified in parts list.
Other brushes may appear to be identical but may have com-
pletely different mechanical and electrical characteristics.
HEAT SHIELD:
Inspect to ensure that all heat shields and heat deflectors
are intact and in place. Do not remove any parts or modify parts.
Removing or modifying parts could cause serious damage to
the unit.
ENGINE: Carburetor Icing
During the winter months, rare atmospheric conditions may
develop which will cause an icing condition in the carburetor. If
this develops, the engine may run rough, lose power, and may
stall.

Equipo telefónico
A fin de evitar la sobrecarga y los posibles daños a su
generador, resulta necesario conocer el vataje total de la carga
conectada. Para determinar qué herramientas y/o equipos
electrodomésticos su generador hará funcionar, siga los pasos
a continuación:
Determine sí desea hacer funcionar un aparato o varios
aparatos simultáneamente.
Verifque los requerimientos de potencia de arranque y
de funcionamiento de los aparatos fijándose en las carga
especificada en la etiqueta, o calculándola (multiplique
amperios x voltios = watts o potencia).
Sume la potencia necesaria de arranque y de funcionamiento
de cada aparato. Sí la etiqueta sólo le da el voltaje y el
amperaje, entonces multiplique Voltios x Amperios = Watts.
1KW = 1,000 watts.
Los electrodomésticos o herramientas impulsadas por
motores requieren más potencia que lo especificado para
arrancar.
NOTA: Permita 2 1/2 - 4 veces el vataje mencionado para
arrancar al equipo.
Los vatios unitarios del generador deberían coincidir o
superar el número total de vatios que requiere el equipo que
usted desea arrancar.
Siempre conecte la carga más grande primero, y luego
agregue los demás equipos uno por uno.
PRECAUCIÓN:
El requerimiento de voltaje y frecuencia operativa de todos los
equiposelectrónicosdebecomprobarse antes de enchufarlos
a este generador. Pueden ocurrir daños si el equipo no está
diseñado para operar dentro de una variación de voltaje
de +/-10% y una variación de frecuencia de +/-3 hz de los
valores nominales que aparecen en la placa de identificación
del generador. A fin de evitar daños, siempre tenga una carga
adicional enchufada al generador en caso de usarse equipos
de estado sólido (tales como un aparato de televisión).
También podría resultar necesario un condicionador de la
línea eléctrica para algunas aplicaciones; por ejemplo, con
una computadora. También podria resultar necesario un
condicionador de la línea eléctrica para algunas aplicaciones
de equipo de estado sólido.

COMO DETERMINAR
EL VATAJE TOTAL

17
CAPACIDAD DEL GENERADOR
Cerciórese que el generador pueda suministrar suficientes vatios
de potencia continua (en marcha) y de sobrecorriente (al arrancar)
para los equipos que desee alimentar al mismo tiempo. Siga
estos pasos sencillos.
1. Seleccione los equipos que desea alimentar al mismo
tiempo.
2. Sumelapotencia continua (enmarcha)en vatios deestos
equipos. Esta es la cantidad de potencia que el generador
debe producir para mantener en marcha los equipos. Observe
la tabla de referencia de potencia en vatios, a la derecha.
3. Calculecuántapotenciainicial(alarranque)envatiosnecesitará.
La potencia inicial (en vatios) es la breve variación rápida
de potencia necesaria para poner en marcha los aparatos
o herramientas accionados con motor eléctrico como las
sierras circulares o los refrigeradores. Debido a que no todos
los motores arrancan al mismo tiempo, se puede calcular
la potencia inicial total en vatios sumando sólo los equipos
con el mayor valor de potencia inicial adicional a la potencia
nominal del paso 2.

ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LA POTENCIA
A fin de prolongar la vida útil del generador y los dispositivos
acoplados, es importante tener cuidado al agregar cargas eléc-
tricas al generador. NO debe haber equipo alguno conectado a
los tomacorrientes del generador antes de poner en marcha el
motor respectivo. La manera correcta y segura de administrar la
potencia del generador consiste en agregar las cargas de manera
secuencial de la manera siguiente:
1. Sin equipos conectados al generador, ponga en marcha el
motor de la manera que se describe posteriormente en este
manual.
2. Enchufe y active la primera carga, preferiblemente la máxima
carga que tenga.
3. Deje que se estabilice la salida del generador (el motor
marcha uniformemente y el dispositivo acoplado funciona
correctamente).
4. Enchufe y active la siguiente carga.
5. Nuevamente, deje que el generador se estabilice.
6. Repita los pasos 4 y 5 para cada carga adicional.
Nunca añada más cargas que las que permita la capacidad del
generador. Tenga especial cuidado al considerar las cargas de
sobrecorriente en la capacidad del generador según se describió
anteriormente.

CARGAS DE MOTORES ELÉCTRICOS
Es característico en el funcionamiento normal de los motores eléctricos comunes consumir durante el arranque hasta seis veces
su corriente de operación. Esta tabla puede emplearse para estimar la potencia necesaria (en vatios) para arrancar los motores
eléctricos de “Código G”; no obstante, si un motor eléctrico no arranca o no alcanza la velocidad de funcionamiento, apague el
dispositivo o herramienta de inmediato para evitar dañar el equipo. Siempre verifique los requisitos de la herramienta o aparato
con la salida nominal del generador.

CARACTERISTICAS PRINCIPALES
DEL GENERADOR
Motor Subaru OHC
Manga de hierro fundido del cilindro
Receptáculos sobre el panel de control
Retén para el cordón
Tanque de combustible con capacidad de 15.1 litros
(4 galones)
Juego de transporte
PANEL DE CONTROL
A. Receptáculo dúplex de 120 voltios, 20 amperios
20 amperios de la corriente se pueden dibujar de cada
mitad del receptáculo. Sin embargo, la potencia total extraída
debe mantenerse dentro de los valores nominales de la placa
de identificación. Estos receptáculos pueden usarse junto con
el receptáculo de cierre giratorio siempre y cuando el generador
no esté sobrecargado.
B. Receptáculo de cierre giratorio de 120/240 voltios, 20
amperios
Puede extraerse un máximo de 20 amp desde el receptáculo
de 120/240 voltios siempre y cuando sea el único receptáculo
usado. Sin embargo, la corriente debe limitarse al valor nominal
de la placa de identificación. Si se utiliza un receptáculo de
120/240 voltios junto con los receptáculos de 120 voltios, la
carga total extraída no debe exceder los valores nominales de la
placa de identificación.
C. Interruptor
Los receptáculos se protegen mediante un cortacircuitos
de CA. Si se sobrecarga el generador u ocurre un cortocircuito
externo, el cortacircuitos saltará. Si esto ocurre, desconecte
todas las cargas eléctricas y trate de determinar la causa
del problema antes de usar el generador nuevamente. Si la
sobrecarga causa que salte el cortacircuitos, reduzca la carga.
NOTA: Si salta continuamente el cortacircuitos, se podría
dañar el generador o el equipo. El cortacircuitos puede
restaurarse pulsando el botón del cortacircuitos.
D. Retén para el cordón
El retén para el cordón es una característica que se utiliza
para impedir que los tapones se salgan de los receptáculos de
120 voltios.
