RULES FOR SAFE OPERATIONS  
Safety precautions are essential when operating  
this generator. Respectful and cautious operation will  
considerably lessen the possibilities of a personal  
injury. This manual will warn of specific personal injury  
potential, and these will be designated by the symbol:  
WARNING Check fuel system on a  
regular basis. Look for signs of leaks, deterioration,  
chafed or spongy fuel hose, loose or missing fuel hose  
clamps, damaged fuel tank or a defective fuel shut-off  
valve. Correct any defects before operation.  
WARNING Keep fire extinguisher close  
by your generator and be familiar on how to use it.  
Consult your local fire department for correct  
extinguisher type.  
WARNING This generator is equipped  
with a grounding screw, located on the generator head  
for your protection. Always complete the grounding  
path from the generator to a copper pipe/rod that is  
driven into moist earth, to prevent electrical shock.  
INSTALLATION  
OUTDOORS:  
Choose a location where the  
generator will not be exposed to rain, snow or direct  
sunlight. Position the generator on secure, level  
ground so it will not tip or slide down a hill. Place the  
generator so that the exhaust fumes will not be  
directed towards people.  
The installation site must be free from water,  
moisture, or dust. All electrical components should be  
protected from excessive moisture or the insulation  
system will deteriorate and result in grounding or  
shorting out the generating system.  
Foreign matters, such as dust, dirt, sand, lint, or  
abrasive materials can cause damage to the generator  
head and engine if allowed into its cooling system.  
NEVER install your generator inside confined  
areas. Inside installation can cause health hazards or  
death.  
ALWAYS use electrical cords that are in good  
condition. Worn, bare, frayed or otherwise damaged  
cords can cause electric shock.  
NEVER operate the generator, or handle any  
electrical equipment while standing in water, while  
barefoot, while hands are wet or while in the rain or  
snow. Electric shock may result.  
ALWAYS use a ground fault circuit interrupter  
(GFCI) in damp or highly electrical conductive areas  
and on construction job-sites to prevent electric shock.  
ALWAYS remove the spark plug or spark plug  
wire before working on the engine or generator, to  
prevent accidental starting.  
ALWAYS provide adequate ventilation. Do not  
operate generator in any enclosed or narrow space.  
Engines consume oxygen and give off deadly carbon  
monoxide poisonous gas. Improper ventilation will  
cause damage to generator and possible injury to  
people.  
DANGER Remember, exhaust fumes are  
deadly carbon monoxide gas, and must be vented to  
the outside where there are no people. Cooling air of  
sufficient amounts must be allowed to flow in and  
exhausted out to ensure proper cooling of the engine  
and generator head.

LOAD APPLICATION  
It is important to determine the total electrical load  
before it is connected to the generator. The two major  
factors in determining the life of a generator head are:  
heat build up, caused by overloading the generator  
and corrosive contaminants, that attack the wiring  
insulation. If the generator is overloaded, the wires  
become excessively hot and cause the insulation to  
break down, reducing its ability to resist corrosive  
contaminants. Over time the effectiveness of the  
insulation is eliminated and a dead short can result.  
Always compare the generator nameplate data  
with that of the equipment to be used to ensure that  
watts, volts, amperage, and frequency requirements  
are suitable for operating equipment. The wattage  
listed on the equipment nameplate is its rated output.  
However, some equipment may require three to ten  
times more wattage than its rating on the nameplate,  
as the wattage is influenced by the equipment  
efficiency, power factor and starting system. NOTE: If  
wattage is not given on equipment nameplate,  
approximate wattage may be determined by

The figures given above are for an average load  
such as a blower or fan. If the electric motor is  
connected to a hard starting load, such as an air  
compressor, it will require more starting current. If it is  
connected to a light load, or no load, such as a power  
saw, it will require less starting current. The exact  
requirement will also vary with the brand or design of  
the motor.  
Generators respond to severe overloading  
differently than the power line. When overloaded, the  
engine is not able to supply enough power to bring the  
electric motor up to operating speed. The generator  
responds to the high initial starting current, but the  
engine speed drops sharply. The overload may stall  
the engine. If allowed to operate at very low speeds,  
the electric motor starting winding will burn out in a  
short time. The generator head winding might also be  
damaged.

amperage.  
VOLTS X AMPS = WATTS  
Example: 120V X 5A  
= 600W  
When connecting a resistive  
load such as  
incandescent lights, heaters or common electric power  
tools, a capacity of up to the generator full rated  
wattage output can be used.  
When connecting a resistive-inductive load such  
as a fluorescent or mercury light, transformers or  
inductive coils, a capacity of up to 0.6 times the  
generator’s full rated output can be used.  
Running the generator under these conditions may  
result in damage to the generator stator as well as the  
motor windings. Because the heavy surge of current  
is required for only an instant, the generator will not be  
damaged if it can bring the motor up to speed in a few  
seconds.  
If difficulties in starting a motor are  
experienced, turn off all other electrical loads and if  
possible reduce the load on the electric motor.  
Always allow the generator to reach operating  
speed before a load is applied.  
EXTENSION CORDS  
STARTING ELECTRIC MOTORS  
When electric power is to be provided to various  
loads at some distance from the generator, extension  
cords can be used. These cords should be sized to  
allow for distance in length and amperage so that the  
voltage drop between the set and point of use is held  
to a minimum.  
Electric motors require much more current (amps)  
to start than to run. Some motors, particularly low cost  
split-phase motors, are very hard to start and require 5  
to 7 times more current to start than to run. Capacitor  
motors are easier to start and usually require 2 to 4  
times as much current to start as to run. Repulsion  
Induction motors are the easiest to start and require  
1.5 to 2.5 times as much to start as to run.

The generator must be run at the correct speed in  
order to produce the proper electrical voltage and  
frequency. The speed of the engine was carefully  
adjusted at the factory so that the generator produces  
the proper voltage and frequency.  
The output voltage should be checked with a  
voltmeter to ensure the generator is working properly  
before connecting a load to the generator. Failure to  
do so could result in damage to equipment plugged  
into the unit and possible injury to the individual.  
All engines have a tendency to slow down when a  
load is applied. When the electrical load is connected  
to the generator, the engine is more heavily loaded,  
and as a result the speed drops slightly. This slight  
decrease in speed, together with the voltage drop  
within the generator itself, results in a slightly lower  
voltage when the generator is loaded to its full capacity  
than when it is running with no load. The slight  
variation has no appreciable effect in the operation of  
motors, lights and most appliances. Electronic  
equipment and clocks will be affected if correct RPM is  
not maintained. See Load vs. Output chart.

crank shaft and the stator is rigidly coupled to the  
engine casting via the generator head casting.  
Exercising The Generator - The generator  
should be operated every four weeks. Warm the  
unit up by starting the engine and letting it run for 10 to  
15 minutes. This will dry out any moisture that has  
accumulated in the windings. If left, this moisture can  
cause corrosion in the winding. Frequent operation of  
the engine generator will also ensure that the set is  
operating properly should it be needed in an  
emergency.  
Output voltage should be checked periodically to  
ensure continued proper operation of the generating  
plant and appliances. It can be checked with a  
portable meter. Frequency can be checked by using  
an electric clock with a sweep second hand. Timed  
against a wrist watch or a stop watch the clock should  
be correct within +/- 2 seconds per minute. All speed  
setting adjustments should be done by a qualified  
technician.  
Generator Maintenance - The generator head is  
brushless and maintenance free. Any major generator  
service including the installation or replacement of  
parts should be performed only by a qualified electrical  
BEFORE STARTING  
1. Make sure the generator is positioned on firm

is a heavy duty sealed roller bearing. They require no  
maintenance or lubrication.  
B. Receptacles - Quality receptacles have been  
utilized. If a receptacle should become cracked or  
otherwise damaged, replace it. Using cracked or  
damaged receptacles can be both dangerous to the  
operator and destructive to the equipment.  
4. Make sure that the exhaust fumes are directed  
away from people.
