WARNING:
Failure to properly ground the generator can result in electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has been provided on the power panel. For
remote grounding, connect of a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG minimum) copper wire between the
generator ground terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground. We strongly recommend that you
consult with a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
4. OPERATION
Generator Location
NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including garages, basements, crawl spaces and sheds,
enclosure or compartment, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle. Please consult
your local authority. In some areas, generators must be registered with the local utility. Generators used at
construction sites may be subject to additional rules and regulations. Generators should be on a flat, level
surface at all times. (Even while not in operation) Generators must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance
from all combustible material. In addition to clearance from all combustible material, generators must also
have at least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and
servicing. Generators should never be started or operated in the back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed
of a truck (regular, flat or otherwise), under staircases/stairwells, next to walls or buildings, or in any other
location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the generator and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain
generators during operation. Allow generators to properly cool before transport or storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the generator near vents or intakes where
exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider wind and air currents
when positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions may void manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNING:
Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler
system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution.
WARNING
During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes produced will become hot. If adequate cooling and
breathing space are not supplied, or it the generator is blocked or contained, temperatures can become,
extremely heated and may lead to fire.
Grounding
The generator system ground connects the frame to the ground terminals on the power panel.
— The generator (stator winding) is isolated from the frame and from the AC receptacle ground pin.
— Electrical devices that require a grounded receptacle pin connection will not function if the receptacle
ground pin is not functional, unless the neutral wire is bonded to the frame.
CAUTION:
Voltage fluctuation functioning of sense may impair the proper electronic equipment.
Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are
designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations.
While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic
equipment.
Fuel Selector Switch
The fuel selector switch on the front panel of the generator is designed specifically to choose between the
fuel sources desired, Gas or LPG(
with Propane
).
To select a fuel source simply slide the switch cover to either the right or left, and this will uncover the fuel
valve of the fuel selected.
The LPG(
with Propane
) fuel valve (A) is to the left of the switch cover. The gas fuel valve (B) is to the right
of the switch cover.
