example is that A wire gauge 14 for example
can lead a current higher than a wire gauge16.
• When several extensions are connected it is
a must to review that each extension is of the
minimum gauge required.
• If you need to use an extension with outlets
to connect more than one electric tool, sum
the amperes marked in the nameplates of each
tool to determine the minimum cord gauge
you need to use.
• The extensions for 120 volts are made of 3
cables where the green cable is the ground-
ing one, the white cable is the neutral and the
black cable is the hot wire.
• The extensions for exits of 220 are made of
4 cables where the green cable is the ground-
ing one, the white cable is the neutral and the
black and red cables are the hot wires.
GENERATOR SETUP AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
• Place the generator outdoors where it will be
used. This must be a flat surface. and far from
flamables materials. Do not allow the genera-
tor gets wet.
• Fill the tank fuel (outdoors) up to 6.0 gallon
of gasoline, do not fill the tank up to the top
of tank.
• After removing the plug with dipstick located
in one side of the engine, fill with 1.2 liter of
oil. Fill with SAE 30 oil.
• Use a funnel to avoid the spill of the oil. Re-
view the oil level by means of the dipstick, it
must mark “Full”. Place the plug with plastic
dipstick, carefully, to avoid damage of the
threads.
• Before connecting the equipment to the gen-
erator review that the equipment is Off. Read
the section DETERMINING TOTAL WATAGGE.
Do not overload the generator. Calculate the
total power of the equipment.
The maximum power of the generator is indi-
cated in the specification sheet
ELECTRIC CONTROLS & OUTLETS
WARNING: If the Generator will be used
to replace facility power in times of outages,
the facility power input must be isolated. Refer
to the Electric Generator Safety Precautions.
These connections must only be made by a li-
censed electrician.
STARTING THE GENERATOR
CAUTION: This product contains, or pro-
duces chemistries when it is used, known by
the Californian state that cause cancer, severe
defects of birth or other damages.
All engines exhaust carbon monoxide, a dead-
ly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause
headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion and
eventually death.
The carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which may be present even if you
do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly
levels of carbon monoxide can lay for hours or
day in inclosed or poorly ventilated areas.
If you experience any symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning, leave the area immedi-
ately, get fresh air and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-
MENT. To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
NEVER run engine indoors. Even if you try to
ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open
windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rap-
idly reach dangerous levels.
NEVER run engine in poorly-ventilated or par-
tially enclosed areas such as barns, garages,
basements,carports, under dwellings or pits.
NEVER run engines outdoors where engine
exhaust can be dawn into a building through
openings such as windows and doors
STARTING THE UNIT
WARNING: Gasoline is very dangerous. Seri-
ous injury or death may result from fire caused
by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
1. Do not fill the fuel tank with the engine run-
ning.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 2 minutes be-
fore filling the tank.
3. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
4. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
5. Follow all the instructions and warnings in
the engine manual.
