7
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know total wattage
of the connected load. To determine which load and or
appliances your generator will run follow these steps.
Check wattage requirements by referring to the loads
nameplateorbycalculatingit(multiplyampsxvolts=watts).
You can get help for calculation using the Table 1
Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only give
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 2½to4timesthelisted wattageforstarting
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.
Thealtitudeandtemperaturecanmodify thegenerator’s
ratings. Use the Table 2 to calculate the generator’s
rating,multiplythefactorxratedoutputinthegenerator’s
specs when the condition is not at 21ºC at the sea
level.
Always connect first to the generator the heaviest load,
and then add other items one at a time.
Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
generator from site to site. Improper lifting techniques
may result in personal injury.

WARNING
WARNING : To avoid possible personal
injury or equipment damage, a register
electrician or an authorized service
representative should perform installation
and all service. Under no circumstances
should an unqualified person attempt to wire into
utility circuit.
Give the generator at least two feet of space from
any nearby wall to dissipate heat.
WARNING
WARNING: do not use a pipe carrying
combustible material as the ground
source.
WARNING
WARNING: To avoidbackfeeding intoutility
system, isolation of the residence electrical
system is required. Before temporary
connection of a generator to the residence
electrical system turn off the main switch.
Before making permanent connections 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
oftheresidenceelectricalsystembeforeconnecting
generator to residence electrical system.
A power line conditioner should be used when running
one or more of the following solid state items:
• Garage door openers.
• Kitchen appliances with digital displays.
• Televisions.
• Stereos.
• Personal computers.
• Quartz clocks.
• Copy machines
• Telephone equipment
Other solid state equipment may require a power line
conditioner, for more information contact customer
service.
To avoid back feeding into utility systems, isolation of
the residence electrical system is required.
Before temporary connection of the generator to the
residencesystem,turnoffthemainservicedisconnecting
device.
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 registered electrician and in compliance
with all applicable local electrical codes.
Proper use requires that a double throw transfer switch
be installed by licensed qualified electrician so that the
building’s electrical circuits may be safely switched
between utility power and the generator output; thereby
preventing back feed 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.
1. NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code.
2. NFPA 37 – Standard for Installation and Use of
Stationary Combustible Engines.
3.Agricultural Wiringhandbook ofFarm StandbyElectric Power.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to appropriate earth ground to help
prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected
to the frame of the generator has been provided for
this purpose. Connect a length of a heavy gauge (12
AWG min.) bare cooper cable between the ground lug
attached to the generator´s frame (identified with a label
with the ground symbol- see figure below) and a cooper
rod drawn 1 meter into the ground which should provide
a suitable ground connection. However, consult with
a local electrician to insure that local codes are being
adhered to.
OPERATION VOLTAGE
CAUTION
C A U T I O N : Operating voltage and frequency
requirements of all electronic equipment should
be checked prior plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment
is not designed to operate within +/- 10% of voltage
and +/- 3 Hz of the rated values marked in the
generator´s nameplate. To avoid damage, always
have an additional no solid state load plugged into
the generator if only solid state equipment (such as
a television set) is used. Apower line conditioner is
recommended for some solid state applications.

LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start the engine without filling the
engine crankcase with the proper amount and type of
oil. Use SAE 30 oil.
Yourgeneratorhasbeenshippedfromthefactorywithout
oilintheenginecrankcase.Operatingtheunitwithout oil
can damage the engine and lose the warranty.
Fill the engine according to the engine manual. In this
engine the plastic plug of the engine crankcase is the oil
fill and check plug.Fill with oil and check the level using
the marks settings in the dipstick.
LOW OIL SENSOR
The engine is equipped with an oil sensor. If the oil level
becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate
a warning device and stop the engine (see the
accompanying engine manual for more information).
If the generator turns off and the oil level is within
specifications, check that the generator is not placed at
an angle that forces the oil level to change. Place the
generator in an even area to correct this problem. If the
engine doesn’t start, the oil level could not be enough
to shut off the automatic “low oil” swith. Make sure the
oil cap is in the correct level.
FUEL
Fill the tank with unleaded fuel, clean and new. You can
use regular-grade fuel as long as it has a high octane
value (at least 85 octane). Always use a fuel additive.
A fuel additive will minimize the development of fuel
gum deposits during storage. The fuel additive can be
added to the fuel int the gas tank or put toguether to the
fuel in a storage container. The fuel and engine smoke
are flammable and potentially explosive. Use a suitable
procedure to store and handle fuel. Always have ABC
fire extinguisher nearby.
ELECTRIC EXTENSIONS OR CORDS
All generator loads will be connected from the control
panel with extensions or cords with 3-prong grounded
plug for connection to 127 volts outlet and 5-prong
grounded plug for connection to 127/220 volts outlet.
See Table 3 for select the minimum cable gauge of
extensions or cords in agreement with the necessities
of the loads.
Whentheloadincreasesmustbeusedacableextension
of greater size. Using extensions of inadequate size it is
inwhere canresult inserious problemswith thevoltage,
reducing the electric energy applied to the tools and
causing damage on them.
Asfarassmalleristhenumberofthewiregaugegreater
is the conduction capacity, an example is that A wire
gauge 14 for example can lead a current higher than a
wire gauge16.
When several extensions are connected it is a must to
review that each extension is of the minimum gauge
required.
If you need to use an extension with outlets to connect
more than one electric tool, sum the amperes marked in
the nameplates of each tool to determine the minimum
cord gauge you need to use.

COMO DETERMINAR LA POTENCIA
A fin de evitar la sobrecarga y los posibles daños a su
generador,resultanecesarioconocerlapotenciatotalde
la carga conectada. Para determinar a qué herramientas
y/o equipos electrodomésticos su generador hará
funcionar, siga los pasos a continuación:
Determine si desea hacer funcionar un aparato o varios
aparatos simultáneamente.
Verifique los requerimientos de potencia de arranque
y de funcionamiento de los aparatos fijándose en la
carga especificada en la etiqueta o ayúdese utilizando
los valores de la Tabla 1 o calculándola (multiplique
volts x amperes).
Sume la potencia necesaria de arranque y de
funcionamiento de cada aparato. Si la etiqueta solo le
da el voltaje y el amperaje, entonces multiplique volts x
ampes = watts. 1kW = 1,000 watts.
Los electrodomésticos o las herramientas impulsadas
pormotores requierenmáspotencia queloespecificado
en su placa de datos para arrancar.
NOTA: Considere 2 ½ - 4 veces la potencia marcada
para arrancar al equipo.
Los watts unitarios del generador deberían coincidir o
superar el número de watts que requiere el equipo que
usted desea arrancar.
La potencia continua del generador disminuye
de acuerdo a la temperatura y la altitud del
lugar donde se está usando, utilice la tabla de
corrección de potencia y multiplique el factor de
corrección por la potencia nominal indicada en
la hoja de especificaciones.
