ing off engine.
To prevent surging that may possibly damage equip-
ment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line
Conditioner should be used to avoid possible dam-
age to equipment.
Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even
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.
Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals.
Metal objects can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
YOUR PRODUCT MAY NOT BE EQUIPPED WITH A
SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be used
around flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, for-
ests, 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 Arrest-
ers are also required on some U.S. Forest Service land and
may also be legally required under other statutes and ordi-
nances. An approved spark arrester is available from our prod-
uct dealers, or may be ordered from Techtronic Industries
North America, Inc., P.O. Box 35, Hwy. 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. Damagemayresultif theequipmentis notdesigned
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.

MAJOR GENERATOR FEATURES CONTROL PANEL
A. 120 V, 20 Ampere Duplex Receptacle
20 amps of current may be drawn from each half of the recep-
tacle. However, total power drawn must be kept within nameplate rat-
ings. These receptacles may be used along with the twistlock recep-
tacle provided the generator is not overloaded.
B. 120/240 V, 30 Ampere Twistlock Receptacle
A maximum of 30 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 electrical 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, re-
duce the load. NOTE: Continuous tripping 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.

INSTALLATION BEFORE OPERATION
WARNING:
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 must be installed. To avoid
electrocution or property damage, only a trained electrician
should connect generator to residence electrical system.
California law requires isolation of the residence electrical
system before connecting a generator to residence electrical
systems. Temporary connection not recommended due to
backfeeding.
To avoid backfeeding into utility systems, isolation of the
residence electrical system is required.
If your generator is to be used as a stand-by power source
in case of utility power failure, it should be installed by a reg-
istered electrician and in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch be
installed by a licensed qualified electrician so that the building’s
electrical circuits may be safely switched between utility power
and the generator’s output, thereby preventing backfeed into
the power utility’s electrical system.
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 carrying combustible material 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.
LOW LUBRICANT ALERT SYSTEM
Some units are equipped with a low lubricant alert system.
If the lubricant level becomes lower than required, the sensor will
activate a warning device or stop the engine. (See the accompa-
nying engine manual for more information.)
If generator shuts off and the lubricant level is within speci-
fications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle that
forces lubricant to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the lubricant level may not be sufficient
to deactivate low lubricant level switch. Make sure the sump is
completely full of lubricant.
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
WARNING:
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:
Thisgeneratormustnotbeoperatedwithoutallfactoryinstalled
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,
poisonous 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.
