PACKAGE CONTENTS Your generator comes with the items listed below. Please check to see that all of the following items may be included with your generator, depending on your generator model. Screw driver Spanner Spark plug wrench...
(3) Fuel Gauge- Indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. (4) Fuel Cap- Access to the fuel tank for adding fuel. (5) Circuit Breaker- Reset switch that protects the generator from electrical overload. (6) 120/ 240 Volt AC Receptacle- Use to connect electrical devices that run 120 and/or 240 Volt, 60Hz, single phase, AC current (NEMA L14-30).
(19) Muffler- Reduces engine noise. PREPARING THE GENERATOR FOR USE Using the Generator for the First Time If you are using the generator for the first time, there are a few steps you must take to prepare it for operation. Step 1- Add oil The generator requires engine oil to operate properly.
3. Slowly add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Be careful not to overfill. Please refer to the chart in figure 4 to find the gas capacity of your generator model. The fuel gauge on the top of the generator indicates how much gasoline is in the generator gas tank.
Figure 5 – Attaching the Grounding Wire to the Generator Subsequent Use of the Generator If this is not your first time using the generator there are still steps you should take to prepare it for operation. IMPORTANT: At this point you should be familiar with the procedures described in the first portion of this section entitled "Using the Generator for the First Time."...
WARNING: Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electrocution. Ground the generator by tightening the grounding nut against a grounding wire (see J figure 5). A generally acceptable grounding wire is a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire.
AC Usage You may connect electrical devices running on AC current according to their wattage requirements. The chart in figure 9 shows the rated and surge wattage of your generator according to its model number. The rated wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage the generator can output on a continuous basis.
Page 14
Once you have found the rated wattage requirement of each electrical device, add these numbers to find the total rated wattage you wish to draw from the generator. If this number exceeds the rated wattage of the generator, DO NOT connect all these device, Select a combination of electrical devices, which has a total rated wattage lower than or equal to the rated wattage of the generator.
