NOTICE
The generator engine works well with 10% or less ethanol
blended gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there
are some issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These ethanol blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor. The compromised gasoline can be drawn into
the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or
create potential hazards.
–
If a fuel stabilizer is used, confirm that it is formulated to
work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using ethanol blended
gasoline higher than 10% by volume, improperly stored
gasoline, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply and
run the engine to starvation after each use. See Storage
instructions for extended non-use.
Grounding
Your generator must be properly connected to an appropriate
ground to help prevent electric shock.
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 (see Controls and Features for terminal location).
For remote grounding, connect 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.
Neutral Floating*
–
Neutral circuit
IS NOT
electrically connected to the frame/
ground of the generator.
–
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.
Neutral Bonded to Frame*
–
Neutral circuit
IS
electrically connected to the frame/ground of
the generator.
–
The generator system ground connects lower frame cross-
member below the alternator. The system ground is connected
to the AC neutral wire.
* See your Specifications section for specified type of grounding.
OPERATION
CO Shield
®
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection
and Auto-shutoff System
CO Shield
®
technology monitors the accumulation of carbon
monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas produced by engine exhaust when
the generator is running. If CO Shield
®
detects unsafe elevated
levels of CO gas, it automatically shuts off the engine.
CO SHIELD IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN INDOOR CARBON
MONOXIDE ALARM OR FOR INDOOR OPERATION.
DO NOT allow engine exhaust fumes to enter a confined area
through windows, doors, vents or other openings.
Generators must ALWAYS be used outdoors, far away from
occupied buildings with engine exhaust pointed away from people
and buildings.
If misused and operated in an unapproved and unsafe location
that results in the accumulation of poisonous CO gas inside
an enclosed or partially enclosed space, for example a house,
garage or a garage with the door partially open, CO Shield
®
will
automatically shut off the generator and then will illuminate a
blinking red LED light.
