When the valve
lever is in the ON
position, fuel is
allowed to flow
from the fuel tank
to the carburetor.
Be sure to return the lever to OFF after stopping the
engine.

Circuit Breaker (6)
The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if
there is a short circuit or a significant overload of the
generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is
switched OFF automatically, check that appliance
is working properly and does not exceed the rated
load capacity of the circuit before switching the
circuit breaker ON again.
Ground Terminal (5)
The generator ground terminal is connected to
the frame of the generator, the metal non-current
carrying parts of the generator, and the ground
terminals of each receptacle.
To prevent electric shock due to defective
connected appliances, the generator must be
earthed with a fixed system by means of the
provided terminal (5).
Oil Alert System
(GN-1500; GN-3000; GN-6500)
The Oil Alert system (21) is designed to prevent
engine damage caused by an insufficient amount
of oil in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the
crankcase can fall below a safe limit. The Oil Alert
System will automatically shut down the engine (the
engine switch (9) will remain in the ON position).
Pilot Lamp (14)
The pilot lamp is illuminated when the generator is
operating normally.
DC Terminals (4)
The DC terminal may ONLY be used for charging 12
volt automotive type batteries.
For connect the battery to the generator is necessary
to use the relevant cable. The cable clamps must be
connected to the battery terminals with the proper
polarity (red clamp to battery positive terminal and
black clamp to battery negative terminal).
DC Circuit Protector (3)
(If equipped)
The DC circuit protector automatically shuts off the
DC battery charging circuit when the generator
is overloaded, when there is a problem with the
battery or the connections between the battery and
generator are improper.
Operating instructions
Connections to a Building’s Electrical System
Connections for standby power to a building’s
electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician. The connection must isolate the
generator power from utility power, and must
comply with all applicable laws and electrical
codes.
Improper connections to a building’s
electrical system can allow electrical
current from the generator to backfeed
into the utility lines. Such backfeed may
electrocute utility company workers or others who
contact the lines during a power outage. Consult
the utility company or a qualified electrician.
Improper connections to a building’s
electrical system can allow electrical
current from the utility company to
backfeed into the generator. When
utility power is restored, the generator may
explode, burn, or cause fires in the building’s
electrical system.
In some areas, generators are required by law to
be registered with local utility companies. Check
local regulations for proper registration and use
procedures.
