Equipment Operation To prevent serious injury and death: DO NOT CONNECT GENERATOR directly TO HOUSEHOLD WIRING. A portable electric generator that is connected to your household wiring without a proper cut off switch can ‘back feed’ into the power lines connected to your home. Power created by your generator can injure or even kill a utility lineman making outage repairs many miles away. Only a certified electrician can safely connect the generator to your home’s wiring. Make sure your generator is properly 1. grounded to avoid electrical shocks. Connect a 10 gauge or larger insulated copper wire to the Ground Connection on the Control Panel. Connect this wire to a suitable external ground, such as a metal stake in the ground. Don’t overload the generator. The 2. total wattage used by the appliances should be less than the output rating of the generator. If you put too many appliances on the generator, it could seriously damage the appliances and electronics. Overloading the generator could also cause fires in the power cord. This generator is rated at 3000 / 3500 Watts. Note: At start-up, appliances draw more power in a surge than they do during continuous operation. When figuring total wattage of all appliances connected to this generator, use the higher start-up amperage rating of each appliance. Do not exceed the current limit 3. specified for any one receptacle. Move the AC Circuit Breaker switch 4. to the ON position. Plug in your extension cord or 5. appliance. Be sure that all appliances are in 6. good working order before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the AC Circuit Breaker and the generator Engine Power Switch immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction. Note: If an overloaded circuit causes the AC Circuit Breaker to switch off, reduce the electrical load on the circuit and wait a few minutes before resetting the circuit breaker. The DC terminal may be used 7. to operate 12 Volt DC portable appliances only. CAUTION! Do not use this generator to charge 12VDC batteries. Directly charging a 12 Volt battery may cause the battery to overheat and possibly explode. CAUTION: Do not attempt to start an automobile engine with this generator. Voltage back feed from the alternator may damage the generator. Note: The DC terminal may be used while the AC power is in use. An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push button comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation. Disconnect all loads from the 8. generator before shutting off. To prevent accidents, turn off the engine and disconnect its spark plug wire after use. Wait for the engine to cool, clean external parts with clean cloth, then store the equipment out of children’s reach according to the Storage instructions in this manual. Control Panel Features Engine Power Switch must be in ON 1. position for engine to start and run. Move to OFF position to stop engine. Power Indicator Light, when lit, 2. shows that the generator is producing electrical energy. AC Circuit Breaker Switch protects 3. circuits when using AC power. 120 V~ duplex outlet provides two 4. grounded outlets for standard 110- 120 V~ household appliances. The outlets are configured for both standard 15A plugs or 20A plugs - See Figure 1 “Controls”. 120 V~ twist lock receptacle provides 5. a grounded outlet for one 120 Volt appliance, such as a water heater. 12 VDC outlet provides a power 6. source for 12 volt DC items, such as automotive accessories. 12 VDC Circuit Breaker Switch provides circuit protection for 12 VDC accessories.

To prevent serious injury from equipment failure: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration, or excess smoking occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Maintenance Procedures Many maintenance procedures, including those not detailed in this manual, will need to be performed by a qualified technician for safety. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely service the equipment or engine, have a qualified technician service the equipment instead. Note: Warranty is void if proper maintenance and servicing procedures are not followed. Engine Oil Change CAUTION! Oil...
