Thank you for purchasing your Powerhorse portable generator! 

 

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.  

More 

detailed information can be found in the 

“Installation & Initial Set

-up, Steps 5 & 6

 of this manual. 

 

 

Contact Powerhorse Product Support at 1-866-443-2576 with questions about optional 

accessories or to order parts. 

 
 

Read this Manual 

 

WARNING 

 

Improper use or maintenance of this generator can result in 

serious injury or death

 

from 

carbon 

monoxide poisoning, electric shock/electrocution, fire/explosion, or burns

  

Read this manual completely 

before using the generator and follow all instructions and safety 

rules.
