manual abstract
Please have these readily available when calling for assistance. F - Double Pole Circuit Breaker (AC) — A double pole circuit breaker is provided to protect all the receptacles and generator against electrical overload. G - Fuel Tank — Capacity of five (5) U.S. gallons (I8.9 l). H - Fuel Valve — Used to turn fuel supply on and off to engine. I - Grounding Fastener — Consult your local agency having jurisdiction for grounding requirements in your area. J - Oil Fill — Add engine oil here. K - Recoil Starter — Used to start the engine. L - Engine Rocker Switch — Set this switch to “On” before using recoil starter. Set switch to “Off’ to stop engine. M - Spark Arrester Muffler — Exhaust muffler lowers engine noise and is equipped with a spark arrester screen. GB 7 Controls Controls Receptacles I CAUTION Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output capacity. * NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than generator or receptacle can supply. * DO NOT overload the generator. See Don’t Overload Generator in the Operation section. 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle Use a NEMA LI4-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire cord set (A) rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 4). You can use the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a I20 Volt load. Figure 4 — 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp Receptacle A - 4-Wire Cord Set B - W (Neutral) C - X (Hot) D - Y (Hot) E - Ground (Green) This receptacle powers I20/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single phase loads requiring up to 5,550 watts of power (5.55 kW) at 23.I Amps for 240 Volts or two independent I20 Volt loads at 23.I Amps each. The outlet is protected by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker. 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles Both duplex receptacles (Figure 5) are protected against overload by a double pole rocker switch circuit breaker. Figure 5 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle Use each receptacle to operate I20 Volt AC, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are rated for I25 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use. Generator Adapter Cord Set The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter cord set designed to provide two sets of I20 Volt, 20 Amp outlets from one I20 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle (Figure 6). Figure 6 — Generator Adapter Cord Set The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps. NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting any extension cord or device to the generator. 8 Operation A WARNING Starting the Engine Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions: 1. Make sure unit is on a level surface. IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate the unit on a level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during operation. 2. Turn red fuel valve from “Off’ position (A) to “On” position (B) (Figure 7). Figure 7 — Fuel Valve A - "Off' Position B - "On' Position 3. Push choke lever to “Choke” position (Figure 8). 4. Push engine rocker switch to “On” (Figure 9). 5. Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull handle rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback, and start engine. N * When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback. * NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on. IMPORTANT: If excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel mixture causing a “flooded” condition, move the choke lever to “Run” (|{|) position and pull the handle repeatedly until the engine starts. 6. Move choke lever to “Run” (|{|) position a short distance at a time over several seconds in warm weather or minutes in cold weather. Let engine run smoothly before each change. Operate with choke in “Run” position. NOTE: If the engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if the unit shuts down during operation, make sure the unit is on a level surface and check for the proper oil level in the crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. Running engines produce heat. Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed I50°F (65°C). Severe burns can occur on contact. Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire. DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases. Allow equipment to cool before touching. Keep at least 5 ft. (I52 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead. Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5I00-IC or later revision.
