Operation

USmNG THE GENERATOR

System Ground

The generator has a system ground that connects the

generator frame components to the ground terminals on

the AC output receptacles.The system ground is connected

to the AC neutral wire (see "Equipment Description",

earlier in this manual).

Special Requirements

There may be Federal or State Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, local codes, or

ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.

Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or

the local agency having jurisdiction.

" In some areas, generators are required to be registered

with local utility companies.

° If the generator is used at a construction site, there may

be additional regulations which must be observed.

Connecting to a Building's Electrical

System

Connections for standby power to a building's electrical

system must be made by a qualified electrician.The

connection must isolate the generator power from utility

power, and must comply with all applicable laws and

electrical codes.

When using generator for backup power, notify utility

company. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate

generator from electric utility.

* Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFC[) in any damp or

highly conductive area_ such as metal decking or steel work:

. DO NC)T touch bare wires or receptacles.

. DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn,

frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

DO NOT operate generator in the rain.

. DO NOT handle generator or electrical cords while standing

in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.

. DO NOT allow unqualified persons or children to operate or

service generato_i

Generator Location

Generator Cmearance

Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through

windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings.

DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enctosure_

including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV).

The generator must be at least 5 ft. (I 52 cm) from

structures having combustible walls and/or other

combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around

generator including overhead, for adequate cooling,

maintenance and servicing.

Place generator in a well ventilated area, which will allow

for removal of deadly exhaust gas. DO NOT place

generator where exhaust gas could accumulate and enter

inside or be drawn into a potentially occupied building.

Ensure exhaust gas is kept away from any windows, doors,

ventilation intakes or other openings that can allow exhaust

gas to collect in a confined area (Figure 4). Prevailing winds

and air currents should be taken into consideration when

positioning generaton

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows. •

I. Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add

ONLY distiHHedwater to cover separators in battery

ceils. DO NOT use tap water.

2. If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they

are instaHHed and are tight.

NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state

of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer

manufacturer's instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is

considered to be at H00% state of charge when specific gravity

of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is H.260 or higher.

Section 4: Operation

How to Use the Battery Char er

Use batteryfloatchargerjackto keep the startingbattery

charged and ready for use. Battery charging shouHd be done

in a dry Hocation, such as inside agarage.

H. Phg charger into unit's "Battery Roar Charger" jack,

which is Hocated next to starter switch (Figure 9). PHug

battery charger into a 120Volt AC wall receptacle.

2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when

generator is being started and while in operation.

3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in

use to prolong battery life.The charger has a built in

float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery,

even when plugged in for an extended period of time.

iMPORTANT: See "Battery Haintenance" on page 15 for

additional information.

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 top of

generator:

[. Hake sure entire muffleroside of generator is exposed.

Note that your generator may appear different from

that shown in Figure I0.

Wind

2. Ensure a minimum of three feet clearance between

open side of box and nearest object.

3. Face exposed end away from wind and elements.

4. Enclosure should hold enough heat created by

generator to prevent problems.

Operate generator ONLY outdoors.

Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for

adequate vent.i[adon.

DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure,

including the generator comparu_nent of a recreational vehicle (RV).

Remove generator from sheker when temperature is above

40°F [4°C],

Section 4: Operation

DON'T OVERLOAD

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:

I. 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 15.

3. Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you wiil

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.

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:

I. 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.
