EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
This 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

This generator incorporates GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded
to ground to pass OSHA inspections on job sites.This
generator will not function when connected to a transfer
switch since the home or building main breaker box also
has a neutral bonded to ground.When both the generator
and the home or building breaker box contains a neutral
bonded to ground, the generators GFCI will open and no
outlets will function.
CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity. See “Don’t Overload
Generator”.
