with your generator. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
The generator is an engine–driven, revolving field, alternating
current (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electrical
power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances,
tools and motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is
driven at about 3,600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in
this manual is both accurate and current. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise
improve the generator and this documentation at any time
without prior notice.
The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted
for standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency
and the California Air Resources Board.

The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal word

result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a hazard
which, if not avoided, might result in minor or moderate

The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings in
this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure, work
method or operating technique that the manufacturer does
not specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the
procedure, work method or operating technique that you
choose does not render the generator unsafe.
