Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become
familiar with your generator. Know its
applications, its limitations and any hazards
involved.
The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator equipped with a
voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is designed to
automatically maintain a constant output voltage level.
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 3600 rpm by a single cylinder engine.
NOTICE
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage
capacity could damage generator and/or electrical
devices connected to it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator’s wattage/amperage
capacity. See Don’t Overload Generator in the Operation
section.
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.
Important Safety Information
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.
