and the California Air Resources Board.
Important Safety Information
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipateevery possible
circumstance that might involvea hazard.Thewarnings in
this manual,and the tags and decals affixedto the unit are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If you usea procedure, work
method or operating technique that the manufacturerdoes
not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make surethat the
procedure, work method or operating technique that you
choose does not renderthe generator unsafe.

Warm Weather Operation
This generatorengine is equippedwith WeatherGuard,an
innovativefeature to preventcarburetor icing in cold weather
conditions. WeatherGuardhas beenengineeredto operatein
all weather conditions. However,product performancecan be
increasedwhen operatingthe generator solely in warm

Capacity
You must make sureyour generator cansupply enough
rated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items you
will power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:
1. Selectthe itemsyou will power at the sametime.
2. Total the rated(running) watts of theseitems. This is
the amount of power your generator must produce to
keepyour items running. SeeWattageReferenceGuide.
3. Estimatehow many surge (starting) watts you will need.
Surge wattageis the short burst of power neededto
start electric motor-driven tools or appliancessuch asa
circular saw or refrigerator. Becausenot all motors start
atthe sametime, total surgewatts can be estimatedby
adding only the item(s) with the highest additionalsurge

Power Management
To prolong the life of your generatorand attacheddevices, it
is important to take carewhen adding electrical loadsto your
generator. Thereshould be nothing connectedto the
generator outlets before starting its engine.Thecorrect and
safe way to managegeneratorpower isto sequentiallyadd
loads asfollows:
1. With nothing connectedto the generator,start the
engine asdescribed in this manual.
2. Plug in andturn on the first load, preferablythe largest
load you have.
3. Permit the generatoroutput to stabilize (engine runs
smoothly and attacheddeviceoperates properly).

GeneralRecommendations
Regularmaintenancewill improvethe performanceand extend
the life ofthe generator.Seeanyauthorizeddealerfor service.
Thegenerator's warranty doesnot cover items that have
been subjectedto operator abuseor negligence.To receive
full valuefrom the warranty, the operator must maintain the
generator asinstructed inthis manual.
Someadjustments will needto be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.
All serviceand adjustments should be made at least once
eachseason.Follow the requirementsin the Maintenance
Schedulechart above.
NOTICE Oncea year you should cleanor replacethe spark
plug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and cleanair
filter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
EmissionsControl
Maintenance, replacement,or repair of theemissions
controldevicesand systemsmay be performedby any
non-roadengine repair establishmentor individual.
However,to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,
the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.
Seethe Emissions Warranty.
GeneratorMaintenance
Generatormaintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit clean
and dry. Operateand store the unit in a clean dry
environment where it will not be exposedto excessivedust,
dirt, moisture, or any corrosive vapors. Coolingair slots in
the generator must not become cloggedwith snow, leaves,
or any other foreign material.
NOTICE DONOTusewater or other liquids to clean
generator. Liquids canenter engine fuel system, causing
poor performance and/or failure to occur. In addition, if
liquid enters generator through cooling airslots, some of the
liquid will be retainedin voids and cracks of the rotor and
stator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on the
generator internalwindings will eventuallydecreasethe
insulation resistanceof these windings.
Cleaning
Dailyor before use, look around and underneaththe
generatorfor signs of oil or fuel leaks. Cleanaccumulated
debris from inside and outside the generator.Keepthe
linkage, spring and other engine controls clean. Inspect
cooling air slots and openings on generator.These openings
must be kept clean and unobstructed.
Engine parts should be kept cleanto reducethe risk of
overheating and ignition of accumulateddebris:
Use a damp cloth to wipe exteriorsurfaces clean.
NOTICE Improper treatment of generator can damage it
and shorten its life.
DO NOTexposegenerator to excessivemoisture, dust, dirt, or
corrosive vapors.
DONOTinsert any objects through cooling slots.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen cakedon dirt or oil.
Use a vacuum cleanerto pick up loose dirt and debris.
FuelValve Maintenance
Thefuel valve is equippedwith afuel sediment cup, screen,
retaining ring and o-ring that needto be cleanedevery
100 hours or once a year (whichever occurs first).
1. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
2. Removesediment cup (A) from fuel valve. Remove
o-ring (B), retaining ring (C)and screen (D) from fuel
valve.

AirCoolingSystem
Overtime debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observedwithout partial engine disassembly. For
this reason,we recommendyou havean authorized Briggs &
Stratton service dealercleanthe cooling system (H) per
recommended intervals (seeMaintenanceSchedulein
beginning of Maintenancesection). Equallyimportant is to
keeptop of engine freefrom debris. See CleanDebris.
CarburetorAdjustment
Thecarburetor on this engine is low emission. It is equipped
with a non-adjustable idle mixture valve.Top speedhas been
set at the factory. If adjustment is required,seean
authorized Briggs & Stratton servicedealer.
_i, CAUTION Excessivelyhigh operating speeds increase
risk of injury and damageto generator.
Excessivelylow speedsimposea heavyload.
DONOTtamperwith governedspeed.Generatorsupplies

DONOTmodifygeneratorinanyway.
Storage
Thegenerator should be started at least once every seven
days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes. If this cannot be
done and you must store the unit for more than 30 days,use
the following guidelinesto prepare it for storage.
Generator Storage
Cleanthe generator as outlined in Cleaning.
Checkthat cooling air slots and openingson generator
are open and unobstructed.
Long Term Storage Instructions
Fuelcan becomestale when stored over 30 days.Stalefuel
causesacid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or
on essentialcarburetor parts. To keepfuel fresh, use Briggs
& Stratton FRESHSTART® fuel stabilizer, availableasa
liquid additive or a drip concentrate cartridge.
Thereis noneed to drain gasolinefrom the engineif a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Runthe engine
for 2 minutes to circulatethe stabilizer throughout the fuel
system. The engine and fuel canthen be stored upto
24 months.
If gasoline in the engine hasnot beentreated with afuel
stabilizer, it must be drainedinto anapprovedcontainer. Run
the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Theuse of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommendedto
maintain freshness.
_i, WARNING Fueland its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fireor explosion can causesevereburns
or death.
WHENSTORINGFUELOREQUIPMENTWITHFUELINTANK
Store awayfrom furnaces, stoves,water heaters,clothes dryers
or other appliancesthat have pilot light or other ignition source
becausethey can ignite fuel vapors.
WHENDRAININGFUEL
Turn generator OFFand let it cool at least2 minutes before
removing fuel cap. Loosencap slowly to relievepressure in
tank.
Drain fuel tank outdoors.
Keepfuel awayfrom sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat,and
other ignition sources.
DO NOTlight acigarette or smoke.
