Choke Rod
The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the choke rod manually. Pull the rod out toward CLOSED to enrich the mixture for cold starting

Voltage Selector Switch
The voltage selector switch switches the main power carrying windings of the generator to produce ‘‘120V ’’ or ‘‘120/240V’’. If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong receptacles, the switch must be in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position. If only a 120V appliance is being connected select the “120V” position.

Switch Position
120/240V: The 120V and 120/240V receptacles can be used simultaneously.
120V: Do not use the 120/240V twist lock receptacle in this position. The most power will be available at the 50A 120/240V receptacle.

WARNING

Change the Voltage Selector Switch after turning the AC circuit breaker to OFF. The generator may be damaged if the Voltage Selector Switch is changed with the breaker in the ON position.

Ground Terminal
The generator ground terminal is connected to the frame of the generator, the metal
non-current-carrying parts of the generator, and the ground terminals of each receptacle.

DC Receptacle
The DC receptacle may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
The battery must be connected to the generator DC receptacle with the proper polarity (battery positive to generator positive (+) and battery negative to the generator negative (-).

WARNING

Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the generator is running. The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.

DC Circuit Protector
The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the DC battery charging circuit when the DC charging circuit is overloaded, when there is a problem with the battery, or when the connections between the battery and the generator are improper.

Oil Alert System
The Oil Alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the Oil Alert system will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The Oil Alert system should not take the place of checking the oil level before each use.
If the engine stops and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.

AC Circuit Breaker
The AC circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant
overload of the generator at the receptacle. If the AC circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before switching the AC circuit breaker ON again. The AC circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator power ON or OFF.

AC Circuit Protector
The AC circuit protectors will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the generator at the 20A 120V, 30A 120V plug.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK

Engine Oil

WARNING

Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and service life. Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine oils will damage the engine and are not recommended.

• Check the oil level BEFORE EACH USE with the generator on a level surface and the engine stopped.
• Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ.
  

Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letter SJ.

• SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temperature use. Other viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the average temperature in your area is within the indicated range

1. Remove the oil filler cap and wipe the dipstick clean.
2. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the filler neck without screwing it in.
3. If the level is low, fill to the top of the oil filler neck with the recommended

Fuel

• Check the fuel gauge, and refill the tank if the fuel level is low.
• Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

WARNING

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured when refueling.

• Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
• Refuel only outdoors.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 86 or higher.
• This engine is certified to operate ONLY on unleaded gasoline.

Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Starting the Generator:

CAUTION:

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator before attempting to start!

1. Make sure that the AC circuit breaker is in the OFF position. The generator may be hard to start if a load is connected.

2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the ON position.

3. The choke will need to be closed, slide the choke lever out to the CLOSED position.

4. Turn the engine switch to the START position and hold it there for 5 seconds or until the engine starts.
   WARNING

   • Operating the starter motor for more than 5 seconds can damage the motor. If the engine fails to start, release the switch and wait 10 seconds before operating the starter again.
   • If the speed of the starter motor drops after a period of time, it is an indication that the battery should be recharged.

5. When the engine starts, allow the engine switch to return to the ON position.

6. Push the choke to the OPEN position as the engine warms up

Stopping the Engine

In an emergency:
To stop the engine in an emergency, move the engine switch to the OFF position. In normal use:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Connections to a Building Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building 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. A transfer switch, which isolates generator power from utility power, is prerequisite.

WARNING
Improper connections to a building electrical system can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage, and the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires  when utility power is restored. Consult the utility company or a qualified electrician.

Ground System
The portable generators have a system ground that connects generator frame components to the ground terminals in the AC output receptacles. The system ground is not connected to the AC neutral wire.

AC Applications
Before connecting an appliance or power cord to the generator:

• Make sure that it is in good working order. Faulty appliances or power cords can create a potential for electrical shock.
• If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish or stops suddenly, turn it off immediately. Disconnect the appliance, and determine whether the problem is the appliance, or if the rated load capacity of the generator has been exceeded.
• Make sure that the electrical rating of the tool or appliance does not exceed that of the generator.
• Never exceed the maximum power rating of the generator. Power levels between rated
  and maximum may be used for no more than 30 minutes.

WARNING
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

AC Operation

1. Start the engine .

2. Turn the voltage selector switch to either position.
   With the voltage selector switch in the ‘‘120/240V’’ position, you can use the 120V and 120/240V receptacles simultaneously. If you require more 120V only power, then select the “120V only” position, this will disable the 120/240V twist lock plug.

3. Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.

4. Plug in the appliance.

Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup.
Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle. If an overloaded circuit causes the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector to switch OFF, reduce the electrical load on the circuit, wait a few minutes and then reset the AC circuit breaker or AC circuit protector.

AC Receptacle Selection
The generator has two separate main power producing circuits. These two circuits supply equal power to different receptacles shown when the voltage selector switch is in the 120/240V position.
When two or more receptacles are used; prevent overloading by dividing the load between the two power circuits.
The chart below shows the rated load in amperes that can be connected to each receptacle to balance the generator.
The total rated ampere draw is 65A in 120V ONLY.

Main Power Circuit| Receptacles Powered by Each Main Circuit| Power Distribution
---|---|---
Main Circuit 1| 2 and 5| 2+5=39.6 A Rated
Main Circuit 2| 1 and 4| 1+4=39.6 A Rated

The table shows the specifications when the 120/240V locking plug receptacle is used for 120V.

DC Operation
The DC terminals may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.
Connecting the battery cables:

1. Before connecting the battery charging cables to a battery that is installed in a vehicle, disconnect the vehicle ground battery cable from the battery negative (－) terminal.

Batteries give off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide  adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

1. Connect the positive (＋) battery cable to the battery positive (＋) terminal.
2. Connect the negative (－) battery cable to the battery negative (－) terminal.
3. Connect the plug of the battery cable to the generator DC receptacle.
4. Start the generator.

WARNING
Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the generator is running. The vehicle or the generator may be damaged. An overloaded DC circuit, excessive current draw by the battery, or a wiring problem will trip the DC circuit protector. If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing in the circuit protector to resume operation.

Disconnecting the battery cables:

1. Stop the engine.

2. Disconnect the plug of the battery cable to the generator DC receptacle

3. Disconnect the other end of the negative (－) battery cable from the battery negative (－) terminal.

4. Disconnect the other end of the positive (＋) battery cable from the battery positive (＋)
   terminal.

5. Reconnect the vehicle ground battery cable to the battery negative (－) terminal.

High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000feet (1,500 meters), have a dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life. Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

WARNING
When the carburetor has been modified for high altitude operation, the air/fuel mixture will be too lean for low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) with a modified carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

MAINTENANCE

The Importance of Maintenance.
Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-free operation. It will also help
reduce air pollution.

WARNING
Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a malfunction in which you can be seriously injured or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this instruction manual.

Maintenance Safety

• Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs.
• Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel-related parts.

Maintenance Schedule
Remember that this schedule is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its
designed purpose. Sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty conditions, will require more frequent service.
