CAUTION:
ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT SUCH AS COMPUTERS AND MEDICAL DEVICES
WITHOUT THE USE OF AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. NEITHER TILLOTSON
POWER PRODUCTS LLC NOR ITS AFFILIATES ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE
FAILURE TO USE AN APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER.
CAUTION:
Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker.
Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly
overloading the generator may not switch the circuit breaker or circuit
protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.
AC Operation
!
Start the engine.
!
Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.
!
Plug in the appliance.
Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup. Do not exceed the
current limit specified for any one receptacle.
NOTE:
The generator features an AC non-fuse circuit breaker to protect the
ac circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur, the breaker will
“trip” to its “off” position, causing the generator to automatically shut
down. In this case wait a few minutes and then, reset the circuitry system by
turning the circuit breaker to its “on” position. Restart the generator and
continue powering the remaining tools and equipment.
High Altitude Operation
At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture may be too rich due to the lower air
density. In that case, performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich
mixture will also foul the spark plug and make it difficult to start the engine. Operation at an
altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified for extended periods of time may
increase emissions. High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the
carburetor. If you always operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have
your dealer perform this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with
the carburetor modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its
useful life. Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower may decrease about 3.5% for
each 1,000-foot (300-meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be
greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.
