About Your Generator
This engine-driven, portable generator is designed to provide up to its rated amount of electrical
power.
(See specifications section of this manual for model specific ratings)
It can supply power:
1.
As a portable power source. You can plug appliances directly into the generator’s electrical
outlets.
2.
As a back-up, standby power source for a building. A licensed electrician can connect the
generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an
UL-approved transfer
switch.
(See the “Installation & Initial Set-up” section of this manual to learn more about
specific requirements and precautions relating to wiring the generator to your building’s electrical
system.)
You must select a generator adequately sized for your power needs.
You need to determine the
power needs of all the appliances/tools you wish to power at the same time and choose a generator rated
to provide at least that power level. See the “Power Load Planning & Management” section of this
manual to determine your specific power load requirements and then compare them to this generator’s
rated capacity. You must not overload the generator. Overloading will cause damage to the generator
and attached electrical devices, and may also result in fire.
Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this generator.
More
detailed information can be found in the “Installation & Initial Set-up, Steps 5 & 6 of this manual.
This generator is too heavy for one person to lift without mechanical assistance.
An optional wheel

Other optional accessories available from NorthStar include a cover for storage, UL-approved transfer
switches, and extension cords.
