About Your Generator
This engine-driven, portable generator is designed to provide electrical power up to
9,000 watts
surge (7,250 watts continuous) on gasoline and 8,100 watts surge (7,000 watts continuous) on propane.
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 syste
m via the installation of an
UL-listed 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 “Planning
the Power Load
”
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.
You can power this generator with gasoline or propane.
However, there are special initial hook-up requirements for propane. See the "Specifications" section of
this manual with regard to specific gas flow and pressure requirements. In addition, note the following:
You will need a minimum 100 lb. propane tank to run this generator
–
the vaporization rate is insufficient
with smaller tank sizes. A certified propane technician must set up the valve and hose connection
between the propane tank and generator in accordance with all federal and local requirements.
See the "Installation/Initial Set-Up: Step 3" section of this manual for more detailed information.
Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this generator.
