V1.0
6,500W Gasoline Generator with Electric Start

RUNNING THE GENERATOR
1. Warm up the generator without load for 3 minutes.
2. Be sure that all appliances are in good working condition before connecting them to the generator.
3. Attach appliances, one at a time starting with the appliance with the highest current rating.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up. Do not exceed the
current limit specified for any one socket. See Wattage Reference Chart.
4. Turn off the generator immediately if an appliance becomes sluggish, stops suddenly or acts in
an abnormal manner. Disconnect and inspect the appliance.
5. Reduce the electric load on the circuit if the circuit protector trips. Wait a few minutes before
resuming operation.
6. If the hour meter (U) registers a voltage that is too high, stop the generator, disconnect all
appliances and examine the generator for the cause of the malfunction.
7. When using the AC and DC electrical output at the same time, do not exceed the maximum
output of the generator.
8. The DC terminal may be used for charging 12-volt automatic-type batteries only. Disconnect
the negative pole battery cable from the battery when setting up to charge the battery. Do not
reverse the charging cables. Serious damage to the generator and/or battery may occur.
9. Ensure a skilled electrician connects the generator when incorporating the generator into a home
power circuit. A properly installed transfer switch is required. An improper connection can
damage the house’s electrical system, generator and any attached appliances or cause a fire.
TURN OFF THE GENERATOR
IMPORTANT! To stop the generator in an emergency, turn the main generator switch to the
OFF position.
1.
Switch the AC breaker to the OFF position.
2.
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position (Fig. 3-1).
3.
Set fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
OIL ALERT SYSTEM
The oil alert system is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil
in the crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system
will automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). The oil alert
system should not take the place of checking the oil level before each use. If the engine stops and
will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The following section includes a maintenance schedule, routine inspection and simple maintenance
procedures using basic hand tools. Service tasks that are more difficult or require special tools are
best handled by a technician or other qualified mechanic.
1. Maintain the generator with care. A well-maintained generator is more efficient and less likely
to have problems.
2. Follow instructions for servicing
3. Inspect the generator components periodically. Have damaged or worn components repaired
or replaced by an authorized technician.
4. Replacement parts must match the original. Use manufacturer recommended parts when possible.
5. Disconnect the spark plug lead and keep it away from the spark plug during maintenance
and repairs.
5.1 Disconnect the negative battery lead, then the positive lead.
6. Maintain the generator’s label and name plate. These carry important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the generator. An improperly repaired
generator may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
