KNOW YOUR GENERATOR
Read this General Manual and Safety Rules before operation of your Generator.
Compare the illustration in your parts manual with your generator to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save all manuals for future references.
GENERATOR CAPACITY
IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage
to your generator and connected electrical devices. See the Wattage Calculation section in
this manual to assist you in determining the appliances and tools that can be run with the
wattage capacity of your generator.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Each receptacle has a circuit breaker to protect the generator from overloading. If the circuit
breaker trips, unplug all electrical loads from the generator. Let the circuit breaker cool
down. Push circuit breaker button to reset.
LOW OIL SHUTDOWN
Your generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is
a safety device designed to protect your engine from damage in the event the oil
level in the crankcase is low.
If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will automatically shut itself
down and will not restart until the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up,
the generator will not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensitive. You must fill the
engine to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate this safety device.
OFF/RUN/START SWITCH
Placed in the start position to start engine and the off position to stop engine.
NOTE: When engine is running switch will remain in the run position.
