Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). CAUTION! These outlets are rated at 120 Volt 20 Amps each (up to 80 Amps).The generator may only be rated for up to 27 Amps. Powering loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. COLD WEATHER OPERATION Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system. Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator: • Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed. Note that your generator may appear different from that shown in Figure 11. • Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object. • Face exposed end away from wind and elements. • Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the generator to prevent problems. CAUTION! NEVER run unit indoors. DO NOT enclose generator any more than shown. Remove generator from shelter when temperature is above 40°F [4°C]. Figure 10 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle Figure 11 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter Wind Portable Generator DON'T OVERLOAD GENERATOR Capacity You must make sure your generator can supply enough rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps: 1. 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 12. 3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator. Because not all motors start at the same time, total surge watts can be estimated by adding only the item(s) with the highest additional surge watts to the total rated watts from step 2. Example: Tool or Appliance Rated (Running) Watts Additional Surge (Starting) Watts Window Air Conditioner 1200 1800 Refrigerator 800 1600 Deep Freezer 500 500 Television 500 - Light (75 Watts) 75 - 3075 Total Running Watts 1800 Highest Surge Watts Total Rated (Running) Watts = 3075 Highest Additional Surge Watts = 1800 Total Generator Output Required = 4875 Power Management To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, it is important to take care when adding electrical loads to your generator.There should be nothing connected to the generator outlets before starting it's engine.The correct and safe way to manage generator power is to sequentially add loads as follows: 1. With nothing connected to the generator, start the engine as described in this manual. 2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have. 3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly. 4. Plug in and turn on the next load. 5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load. NEVER add more loads than the generator capacity.Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity, as described above.

NEVER operate a damaged or defective generator. Engine Maintenance See engine owner’s manual for instructions. CAUTION! Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with used motor oil. Used motor oil has been shown to cause skin cancer in certain laboratory animals.Thoroughly wash exposed areas with soap and water. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DON'T POLLUTE. CONSERVE RESOU...
