1. These engine generator sets are designed for
portable heavy duty commercial use. Receptacles
are provided on the control panel to permit 120 and
240 volt portable appliances and tools to be plugged
directly into them. A 4-wire receptacle (two hot, one
ground, and one neutral) has been provided on the
control panel for use in temporary power applications
requiring 120/240 volt power. Consult a licensed
electrician for wiring the Tem Power plug and con-
necting it as temporary service.
To connect these units directly to an un-powered,
isolated construction site Tem Power panel, have
your electrician connect to the control panel using a
120/240 volt, 4-wire twist-lock plug (L14-30P).
2. These generator sets are not designed to be con-
nected existing distribution system. Because existing
distribution system have a neutral to ground bond,
connecting to them through the GFCI protected L14-
30 plug will cause the circuit breaker to trip.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When using these generators to power home
loads or construction trailer, the Conserv-r®
switch must be left in the off position. Some ap-
pliances have such a low current draw (less than
5 to 10 watts) they will not turn the conserver off,
resulting in low voltage being supplied to them.
This low voltage can do permanent damage to
these appliances.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load ap-
plied to the generator will cause the generator to
produce low voltage and may damage the engine
generator set. It may also cause severe damage to
the loads connected to the generator at that time. Im-
proper loading of the generator set constitutes abuse
and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required, contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1.
Change the oil
after the fi rst 20 hours of opera-

operating conditions. Change engine oil every 50
hours of operation if the engine is operated under
heavy load, or in high ambient temperatures.
a. Start the engine and warm it up, stop the engine
and remove the spark plug wire to prevent it
from accidently being started.
b. Remove oil drain bolt at base of the engine
and drain the oil into an approved container.
c. Replace oil drain bolt making sure the sealing
washer is in place..
d. With the engine in a level position, fi ll with new
oil. Refer to the table on page 5 for the proper
grade of oil.
NOTE: This engine requires 1.2 qts of oil if it is
completely drained. Use caution when refi lling the
engine as some residual oil may have remained in
the engine. Always use the dipstick when fi lling the
engine with oil to prevent overfi lling.
e. Replace
fi ller plug.
