INITIAL INSPECTION
Upon receiving your generator set, inspect the product to make
sure it is complete and in good condition. Handle with care and
place in a suitable site for storage or operation.
GROUND CONNECTION
The generator can be grounded to earth to reduce the chance
of electrical shock. To do this you will need a grounding rod
and an appropriately sized copper ground wire. Drive the
ground rod into the earth, connect one end of the copper wire
to the rod and connect the other end to the external ground
connection on the generator set. This is a general explanation,
consult National and Local electrical codes to ensure
compliance.
BEFORE START-UP
ENGINE FUEL
Use only Diesel fuel with cetane value of more than 45. Check
the fuel gauge beside the fuel fill and add as necessary.
ENGINE OIL
The engine manual or other information provided by the engine
manufacturer supersedes data provided here. Proper oil grade
varies with climate. Consult the engine manual to verify proper
grade. The oil fill port is located on top of the engine. The
integral dipstick is located on the side of the engine. Add the
proper amount of oil and check the level using the dipstick.
STARTING BATTERY (Electric Start odels Only)
The starting battery should be rated at 420 CCA. The battery is
fully charged if a voltage of 12.84VDC is measured across the
terminals using a DC Voltmeter.

STARTING THE GENERATOR SET
Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that
all instructions given in previous sections have been
followed completely.
• Check oil and fuel levels.
• Turn the fuel valve under the fuel tank on.
FUEL SUPPLY SOLENOID SWITCH
• Place the Fuel Supply Solenoid Switch in the UP
position for RECOIL START.
• Place the Fuel Supply Solenoid Switch in the DOWN
position for ELECTRIC START.
RECOIL START
• Turn key to 1st position-
Warning Light On.
• Slowly pull recoil cord until
resistance is felt, and then
pull firmly. Let the recoil
rewind slowly to avoid
damage.
ELECTRIC START
• Turn key to 1st position-
Warning Light On.
• Turn key to 2nd position-
Starting.
• Return key to 1st position when engine is running.
• Note: If the engine does not start after 20 seconds, stop
and wait 1 minute and repeat this step.
PRI ING PROCEDURE
This procedure may be required for the initial start or
subsequent starts, if the fuel runs out, or if air is in the fuel
system.
1. Fill the tank completely with DIESEL fuel.
2. Open the fuel shut-off valve under the tank.
3. Pump the primer lever 2-3 times.
4. Watch for the fuel filter to be completely filled with diesel
with no air inside.
5. Crank the engine by turning the ignition key or pulling
the recoil.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR GUIDE (applicable models)
The voltage selector switch allows the generator set to produce
120 volts only or to produce 120/240 volts simultaneously. With
the switch in the 120V position only the 120V receptacles may
be used. All of the power from the generator is available at 120
volts but the 240V output is not available. In the 120/240V
position all receptacles are operable however only half of the
generator output is available at any one 120V receptacle. Full
power may be pulled from the generator from the 240V
receptacle. The switch should always be left in the 120V
position when 240 volts are not needed. This balances the
load on the generator more effectively.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET
Unplug all appliances and let
the engine run unloaded for a
couple of minutes. Turn the key
switch to the Stop (0) position.
Turn the fuel valve on the
bottom of the fuel tank Off.
GENERATOR APPLICATION
WHAT IS A GENERATOR
A generator is basically a prime mover, typically a gasoline or
diesel engine, coupled to an alternator to produce electricity. It
is very useful as a substitute power source during power
outages or as the primary source in remote locations where
power is not available. enerators are essential for people
such as contractors or farmers who are always in need of
portable power. They are also very convenient for recreational
use.
SELECTING A GENERATOR
Selecting the proper generator is important. A generator that is
too small for your application will not run all of the equipment
needed. A generator that is too large will cost more and if
never used to its potential the money is wasted. The correct
size generator is determined by totaling the wattage
requirements of the items to be used simultaneously,
determine additional starting wattage requirements and total
these numbers. Select a generator with a continuous rating
that exceeds this by about 20% to allow for expansion. See the
table in the section titled “ enerator Set Overload” for some
wattage guidelines of common equipment.
FUEL VALVE UP
DOWN
FUEL SUPPLY
SOLENOID
SWITCH

RATED vs. SURGE WATTS
Rated, or continuous, watts are the watts an item needs as it is
running.
Surge, or maximum, watts are the watts an item needs to start.
This is typically 2-4 times the rated watts.
This information is typically provided on the manufacturer’s
nameplate. If watts are not provided, it can be calculated using
the formula: Watts=Amps x Volts.
EXTENSION CORDS
An extension cord should always be in good condition with no
damage to the wires or sheathing. Never run an extension cord
through water. The correct wire size for an extension cord can
be determined from the table that follows.
LOADING YOUR GENERATOR SET
With reference to the Receptacle details section, please review
the power receptacles fitted to your generator. The circuit
breaker rating and the generator rating drive the actual load
that may be pulled from each receptacle. The ratings shown in
the table are the maximum available from each receptacle.
DO NOT EXCEED THE INDIVIDUAL RECEPTACLE RATIN S
AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW. DO NOT EXCEED THE
TOTAL ENERATOR RATIN SHOWN IN TABLE 2
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. All generator units are
equipped with a magnetic main circuit breaker.
A PERAGE RATE TABLE
ENGINE LI ITATIONS ON GENERATOR
PERFOR ANCE
enerator ratings assume 60°F (20C) and Sea Level.
Operation of your generator at temperatures above 60°F (20C)
or above Sea Level will result in lower electrical output.
Electrical output must be derated 1% for each 10°F above
60°F and 3 ½ % for each 1000 feet above mean sea level.
GENERATOR CLEANING
CAUTION: ALWAYS SHUT DOWN THE ENERATOR
AND ALLOW IT TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE
PERFORMIN CLEANIN OPERATIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT USE HI H PRESSURE WATER
OR A ARDEN HOSE TO CLEAN YOUR
ENERATOR. WATER INTRODUCED INTO THE
ENERATOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS,
ENERATOR DAMA E OR PERSONAL INJURY.
