Safety and Control Symbols
The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal
injury hazard. A safety symbol may be used to represent
the type of hazard.
WARNING
indicates a hazard which,
if not avoided,
could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
indicates
information considered important, but not hazard-related.
Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become
familiar with your outdoor generator. Know
its applications, its limitations, and any
hazards involved. Save these original instructions
for future reference.
The outdoor generator is an engine-driven, revolving
field, alternating current (AC) generator equipped with a
voltage regulator. The voltage regulator is designed to
automatically maintain output voltage level.
The portable generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using extension cords or for first time temporary
home power restoration. Before your next home power
outage, install a manual transfer switch. A transfer switch is a
separate device installed by a qualified electrician that allows
the portable generator to be cord connected directly into your
home’s electrical system. Extension cords connected to the
portable generator’s control panel are not intended to be a long
term solution when connected to items inside your home.
NOTICE
If you have questions about intended use,
ask dealer or contact authorized service center. This
equipment is designed to be used with Briggs & Stratton
authorized parts ONLY.

Every effort has been made to ensure that information in
this manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve
the right to change, alter, or otherwise improve the product
and this document at any time without prior notice.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals
on the AC output receptacles. The generator neutral
is floating, which means that the AC stator winding
is isolated from the grounding fastener and the AC
receptacle ground pins. Electrical devices, such as RCD,
requiring a grounded neutral may not operate properly
from this generator. Earthing of the generator is not
required.
Special Requirements
There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances
that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please
consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a
construction site.
EU Disposal

batteries and electrical or electronic
equipment shall not dispose of this
product with unsorted municipal waste.
This product should be disposed of in
environmentally appropriate waste
