Owner’s Manual

 

Instructions for Installation/Set-up, Operation, Servicing, & Storage 

Portable, Outdoor Use-Only, Gasoline Generator 

 

Can be used to power individual appliances plugged directly into the generator’s outlets, or as a back-up 
connection to a building’s power supply (via a professionally installed UL-listed transfer switch). 

 

 

WARNING 

 

 

READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before using the generator!  

Failure to properly set up, 

operate, and maintain this generator could result in

 

serious injury or death

 

from 

carbon monoxide poisoning, 

electric shock, fire/explosion, or burns

.  Generator has been shipped

 WITHOUT 

engine oil, Check the oil level 

using the dipstick and add oil as needed. In particular, be aware of the following hazards: 

 

CO Poisoning 

Generators give off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill you.  You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it. 

 

ONLY run generator OUTDOORS and AWAY from building air intakes.  NEVER run generator inside any enclosed or 
semi-enclosed spaces, including homes, basements, garages, sheds, boxes, RVs, boats or pick-up truck beds.  These 
spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.   

 

Install carbon monoxide alarms inside nearby structures/buildings (battery-operated, or plug-in with battery backup).  

Electric shock / Electrocution 

 

High voltage electricity from generator can kill.  DO NOT operate in wet locations. Be sure generator is properly 
grounded. Use only UL-listed, outdoor-rated grounded extension cords of proper size. 

 

NEVER plug the generator directly into a wall outlet.  ANY connection to a building’s electrical system MUST 
ISOLATE THE GENERATOR FROM UTILITY POWER via a UL-listed transfer switch installed by a licensed 
electrician. Otherwise, back feed from the generator into the power grid could kill utility workers. 

Fire / Explosion 

 

DO NOT overload generator (per rated capacity), and OPERATE ONLY in an area with adequate cooling ventilation so 
engine does not overheat. Exhaust can be extremely hot.  Keep muffler at least 7 feet from all combustible objects. 

 

All fuels are flammable. Never fuel a running or hot engine. Never pump fuel directly into generator at gas station – use 
approved container to transfer fuel. Ensure there are no fuel leaks, and keep sources of sparks and flames away.  

 

ALWAYS keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby.

 

 

 

STOP! 

 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT GENERATOR FOR YOUR NEEDS.  

See the “Power Load Planning & Management” section 

of this manual to determine your power load requirements and then compare to the generator’s rated capacity. 

INSPECT COMPONENTS

:  Closely inspect to make sure no components are missing or damaged.  See the “Unpacking 

& Delivery Inspection” section for instructions on whom to contact to report missing or damaged parts. 

ARRANGE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION of a transfer switch if you will be connecting the generator to 

your building’s electrical system.

  See the “Installation/Initial Set-Up” section for more information about this 

requirement.
