100430 - 6500W ELECTRIC START GENERATOR
OPERATION

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.

los generadores en áreas cerradas (ej. no en una casa o garaje).
Déplacer le générateur vers un espace extérieur en plein air. Garder l’échappement loin.
Ne pas faire fonctionner les générateurs dans un espace clos (ex., pas dans une maison ou

In the event of an engine shut off, when you approach the
generator to investigate, a blinking
red
LED light in the CO Shield
®
area provides notification that the generator shut off due to an
accumulating CO hazard. The red LED light will blink for at least
five (5) minutes after an engine shut off event.

Move the generator far away to an open, outdoor area and point
the exhaust away from people and buildings. Once relocated
to a safe area, the generator can be restarted, and the proper
electrical connections made. Introduce fresh air and ventilate the
location where the generator shut off.
When restarting, the red and yellow LED will blink ten (10) times
simultaneously to indicate the LED is working.
