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 generator is designed to supply electrical power
for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools
and motor loads. The voltage regulator within the generator is
designed to automatically maintain output voltage level.
The portable generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using the extension cords provided 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 licensed electrician that
allows the portable generator to be cord connected, using the
receptacle, 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.
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.
NOTICE
If you have questions about intended use, contact an
authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to be used
with Briggs & Stratton Power Products authorized parts only.
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.
