WARNING
CAUTION
system turn off the main switch. Before
making permanent connections a double
throw transfer switch must be installed. To
avoid electrocution or property damage, only
a trained electrician should connect generator
to residence electrical system. California
law requires isolation of the residence
electrical system before connecting a
generator to residence electrical systems.
Temporary connection not recommended
due to backfeeding.
Always follow local codes and regulations
that apply to the installation of any item that
concerns this product.
1. NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code.
2. NFPA 37 - Standard for Installation
and Use of Stationary Combustible
Engines.

Farm Standby Electric Power.
BEFORE OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this
product be properly connected to an
appropriate earth ground to help prevent
electric shock. A ground terminal connected
to the frame of the generator has been
provided for this purpose. Connecting a length
of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire
between the generator Ground Terminal and
a copper rod driven into the ground should
provide a suitable ground connection. However,
consult with a local electrician to insure that
local codes are being adhered to.
WARNING Do not use a pipe carrying
combustible material as the ground source.
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without
filling the crank case with the proper amount
and type of oil. Your generator has been
shipped from the factory without oil in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can
damage the engine.
Fill the engine with oil according to the operator
manual. For units with a dipstick, fill oil to the
proper level. Units without a dipstick should
be filled to the top of the opening of the oil fill.
LOW OIL SENSOR
The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If
the oil level becomes lower than required, the
sensor will activate a warning device or stop
the engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is
sitting at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place
on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be
sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch.
Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded
automotive gasoline. Regular grade gasoline
may be used provided a high octane rating is
obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We
recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A
fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel
stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the
fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage
container.
CAUTION Do not overfill the tank. Keep
maximum fuel level
1/4
'bc inch below the
top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion
in hot weather and prevent overflow.
