USINGTHEGENERATOR
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components tothe ground terminals on
theAC output receptacles.The system ground is connected
totheAC neutral wire (see "Equipment Description",
earlier in this manual).
Special Requirements
There may be FederalorState Occupational Safety and
HealthAdministration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or
ordinances that apply tothe intended use ofthe generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
the local agency havingjurisdiction.
In some areas,generators are required to be registered
with local utility companies.
Ifthe generator is used at a construction site, there may
be additional regulations which must be observed.
Connectingto a B~~~ilding'sElectrical
System
Connections for standby power toa building's electrical
system must be made by a qualified electrician.The
connection must isolate the generator power from utility
power, and must comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.

Generator Location'
Generator Clearance
The generator must beat least 5 ft. (1 52cm) from
structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials. Leave at least 3
ft. (92 cm) all around
generator including overhead,for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing.
Place generator in
a well ventilated area, which will allow
for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DONOT place
..kenerator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter
inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building.
Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors,
ventilation intakes or other openingsthat can allow exhaust
gas tocollect in a confined area (Figure 3). Prevailingwinds
and air currents should be taken into consideration when
positioning generator.

GENERATOR
--
You must make sure yourgenerator can supply enoughp
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
I.
Select the items you will power at the same time.
2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items.This is
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keep your items running. See Figure 8.
3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will
need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power
neededto start electric motor-driven tools or
appliances such as a circular saw orrefrigerator.
Because notall motors start at the same time, total
surge watts can be estimated by adding only the
item(s) with the highest additional surge watts tothe
total rated watts from step
2.

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generator andanached devices,
it is important totake care when adding electrical loads to
your generator.There should be nothing connected tothe
generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct
and safe way to managegenerator power is tosequentially
add loads as follows:
I.
With nothingconnected tothe generator, start the
engine,asdescribed in this manual.
2. Plug in and turn on the first load,preferably the largest
load you have.
3. Permitthe,generator output tostabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attached device operates properly.
4. Plug in and turn on the next load.
5. Again, permit the generator tostabilize.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.
NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity.Take
special care toconsider surge loads in generator capacity,
as described above.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that
all periodic maintenancetasks are completed on a timely
basis;that all discrepanciesare corrected; and thatthe unit
is kept clean and properly stored.
NEVER operate a
damaged or defective generator.
Should you have questions about replacing components on
yourTroy-Bil@ generator, please call
1-888-6 1 1-6708 for
assistance.

KEEP OUTOF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T
POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOURCES. RETURN

Generator Maintenance
Generator maintenance consists of keepingthe unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry
environment where
it will not be exposed toexcessive
dust, dirt, moisture orany corrosive vapors. Coolingair
slots in the generator must notbecome clogged with snow,
leaves orany other foreign material.
NOTE: DONOTuse a garden hose toclean generator.
Water can enter engine fuel system and cause problems. In
addition, ifwater enters generator through cooling air slots,
some ofthe water will be retained in voids and cracks of
the rotor and stator winding insulation-Waterand dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will eventually
'decrease the insulation resistance of these windings.
Generator Cleaning "
Use a dam^ cloth towi~eexterior surfaces clean.
CAUTION
DO NOT expose generator to excessive moisture, dust, dirt,
or corrosivevapors.
DO NOT insertany, objects through coolingslots.
Use a soft bristle brush toloosen caked on dirt or oil.
Use a vacuum cleaner to pick up loose dirt and debris.
;Use lowpressure air (not toexceed 25 psi) to blowaway
'
dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and opening ongenerator.
These openings must be kept clean and unobstructed.
DataTag
Datatag information is very important ifyou need help from
our Customer Service Department oran authorized service

+
Thegenerator should be started at least once every seven
days and allowed torun at least 30 minutes. Ifthis cannot
be done and you must store the unitfor morethan
30 days, use the following guidelines toprepare it for
storage.
Generator Storage
Clean the generator as outlined in"Generator Cleaning".
Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.

Engine Storage
See engine owner's manual for instructions.
Other Storage Tips
To prevent gum from forming infuel system or on
essential carburetor parts, add fuel stabilizer into fuel
tank and fill with fresh fuel. Run the unit for several
minutes to circulate the additive through the carburetor.
The unit and fuel can then be stored for up to
24 months. Fuel stabilizer can be purchased locally.
DONOTstore fuel from one season to another unless
it has been treated as described above.
Replacefuel container if itstarts torust. Rust and/or dirt
in fuel can cause problems if it's used with this unit.
Store unit in a clean and dry area.

Power Ratings
The power ratingsfor an individualengine model are
initially developed by starting with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine
Power
& TorqueRatingProcedure)(Revision2002-05).
Given both the wide array of products on which our
engines are placed, and the variety of environmental
issuesapplicableto operatingthe equipment, it maybe
thattheengineyou havepurchasedwillnotdevelopthe
rated horsepower when used in a piece of power
equipment (actual"on-site" power). This differenceis
duetoavarietyoffactorsincluding,butnotlimitedto, the
following: differencesinaltitude, temperature, baromet-
ric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine lubrication, maxi-
mum aoverned enaine weed, individual enaine to
engine"variability,designof'theparticular piecedpower
equipment,themannerinwhichtheengineisoperated,
engine run-in to reduce friction and clean out of
combustionchambers, adjustments to the valves and
carburetor, and other factors. The power ratings may
also beadjustedbasedon comparisonsto other similar
enginesutilizedinsimilarapplications,andwilltherefore
not necessarily match the values derived using the
foregoing codes.
