_ WARNING: Condenser type chargers should not be used with portable generators. Irregular
generator power could cause a condenser type charger to fail. DEWALT has produced con-
denser type chargers in the past. (DW9104 and DW9106). ff you have any questions regard-
ing the use of a DEWALT Charger with a generator, please call 1-800-4-DEWALT.
NOTE: Other battery charger manufacturers have and still produce condenser type chargers.
Please contact manufacturer to see if it is safe to use chargers with portable generators.
ASSEMBLY
Grounding
the Generator
A grounding lug (VV)is supplied with the generator for use when
required by local electrical ordinances. Refer to article 250 of
the National Electrical Code to clarify any needed grounding
information. Your local electric company or a certified electri-
cian should be able to help you with this information.
NOTE: Your engine is already grounded to the frame by a
grounding strap.
Use
of Extension
Cords
_, WARNING: Use only grounded extension cords. Use only three wire or double-insulated
power tools.
Only use grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and equipment with a third-
wire ground. When using the 20A or 30A twist-locking receptacle, you must connect through
a GFCI protected spider box or use an in-line GFCI adapter.
When a long extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a volt-
age drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in less voltage
being supplied to the appliance or tool and increases the amount of current (amp) draw or
reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the voltage drop. Be
sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate your tool or appliance. The
tables indicate appropriate gauge for extension cords and the voltage drop caused by the use
of extension cords, given different electrical loads.
Volts
120V
_J, C AUTION: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause # to overheat. Using an excessively
long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare or frayed cords
because they can cause electrical shock.

Accessories
available for generators include wheels (A), handles (A) and lifting hook (C).
NOTE: Two people are needed for these installations. Install the wheel kit before adding
gasoline or engine oil to prevent damage to the engine. If accessories are being installed after
running the generator, make sure the gas tank is empty, the fuel shut-off valve is turned to the
OFF position (horizontal to the ground) and the oil is drained from the engine. FIG. 3 shows
the accessory kit contents.
NOTE: After approximately 20 hours of operation, accessory bolts may loosen. Tighten them
as needed.
