EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This generator is an engine–driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz
devices that require up to 5500 watts (5.5 kW) of
power that pull up to 45.8 Amps at 120 Volts or
22.9 Amps at 240 Volts.
CAUTION
! Do not exceed the generator’s
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated
watts of all devices you are connecting to
generator receptacles at one time. This total
should not be greater than 5500 watts. In
most cases rated watts of the electrical device
can be found on the device nameplate. If the
device nameplate gives only volts and amps,
multiply volts times amps to obtain watts
(volts x amps = watts).
The 5500XL watt portable generator has the
following features:
• 120/240 Volt, 30 Amp locking receptacle.
• 120 Volt 30 Amp locking receptacle.
• 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex receptacle.
• Low Oil Shutdown: Automatically shuts down the
engine if oil drops below safe operation level.
• Overhead fuel tank with fuel gauge.
• The generator’s revolving field is driven at about
3600 rpm by an 11 h.p. OHVI engine.
DANGER
! Do not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury
or damage to equipment. The generator
supplies correct rated frequency and voltage
only when running at proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can
damage some connected electrical loads.
Operating at excessively low speeds imposes
a heavy load. When adequate engine power
is not available engine life may be shortened.
SAFETY RULES
This generator set was designed and manufactured
for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the
unit or use it for any application it was not designed
for. If you have any questions about your generator’s
application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that
reason warnings in the Manual and warnings on tags
or decals affixed to the unit are not all–inclusive. If
you intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended
by the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method will not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
• The generator produces a very powerful voltage
that can cause extremely dangerous electrical
shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,
etc. Never permit an unqualified person to operate
or service the generator.
• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
while standing in water, while barefoot or while
hands or feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock
may result.
• The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of the
generator be properly connected to an approved
earth ground. Local electrical codes may also
require proper grounding of the generator. Consult
with a local electrician for grounding requirements
in your area.
• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp
or highly conductive area (such as metal decking or
steel work).
The engine exhaust from this product
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
