OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Engine Setup and Generator Cable Connections
1.
Place the generator / welder outdoors where it will be used. Ground this product as
required (see page 10).
This should be on a flat surface able to support the weight of the unit, and away from
flammable materials. Do not allow the generator / welder to get wet. If used indoors,
the area must be well ventilated to allow dissipation of exhaust fumes. Push Handle
Bars (17) in to enable easy access to the Control Panel.
2.
Fill the Gas Tank (outdoors) with up to 1.85 gallons of unleaded gasoline, leaving
some room at top of tank for expansion. Do not top-off tank.
3.
Add 40.5 oz. of oil to the Engine by removing the Dip Stick and adding through its hole.
If the area temperature is above freezing, use F-SAE 30 weight oil. If below freezing,
use F-SAE 5W-30 weight oil. Use a siphon to avoid spilling the oil. Check the oil level
with the Dip Stick. It should be up to the “Full” mark. Carefully screw the plastic Dip
Stick back into the metal Engine crankcase to avoid stripping the plastic threads on
the Dip Stick.
4.
Plug in the extension cords or appliances, making sure that the appliance (loads) are
turned off.
Refer to the section on Extension Cords on page 11. Do not overload the generator.
Calculate the total wattage of the appliances. The generator has a maximum power
output is 5,000 watts (total from all outlets being used).
5.
Set the Function Switch to the GEN (generator) position (picture showing light bulb).
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 Generator Safety Precautions on
page 6. These connections must only be made by a licensed electrician.
