The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at 
the factory so that the generator produces the proper 
voltage and frequency.  For normal usage, the speed 
setting should not be changed.  If the generator is 
being run continuously on a very light load, it is often 
advisable to lower the operating speed slightly.  

CAUTION:  EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
SPEED ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE 
MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH. 
Whenever making any speed adjustments, check 
the unit with a voltmeter and a frequency meter 
or tachometer and be sure the voltage and speed 
are correct.

Lower voltage may damage both the generator and 
any load connected to it.  Running the engine at ex-
cessively high speeds results in high voltage, which 
may signifi cantly shorten the life of appliances being 
used.

Output voltage should be checked periodically to 
ensure continued proper operation of the generat-
ing plant and appliances.  If the generator is not 
equipped with a voltmeter, it can be checked with a 
portable meter.  

CONNECTING THE LOADS

Allow the engine to warm up for two or three minutes 
before applying any load. This will allow the engine 
to reach normal operating temperature and oil to cir-
culate throughout the engine. A short warm-up time 
will permit the engine to work more effi ciently when 
the load is applied and will reduce the wear in the 
engine, extending its life.  

Receptacles have been provided to allow loads to 
be connected to the generator. The loads should 
be added one at a time.  If a large motor is being 
started, or multiple motors are being started, they 
should be started individually and the largest should 
be started fi rst.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD

    Keep the generator load within the generator and
receptacle nameplate rating. Overloading may cause
damage to the generator and/or the loads.

Most electric tools and appliances will have the volt-
age and amperage requirements on their individual 
nameplates. When in doubt, consult the manufac-
turer or a local electrician. The nameplate amperage 
rating for electric motors can be misleading. See a 
further explanation under “Starting Electric Motors” 
in Unit Capabilities (page 4).

These engine-generator sets are inherently self reg-
ulating based on engine speed. The engine governor 
will automatically adjust itself to the load. No harm 
to the generator will result if it is operated with no 
load connected.  Proper utilization of the receptacles 
located on the control panel is necessary to prevent 
damage to either the receptacles or the generator. 
The generator is a limited source of electrical power, 
therefore, pay special attention to the receptacle 
and generator ratings. The nameplate rating can be 
obtained through a single receptacle as long as the 
receptacle amperage rating is not exceeded.

GROUNDING

All units must be grounded. Drive a 3/4” or 1” copper 
pipe or rod into the ground close to the engine-gen-
erator set. The pipe must penetrate moist earth. 
Connect an approved ground clamp to the pipe. 
Run a no. 10 Awg wire from clamp to the generator 
ground lug on the receptacle panel. Do not connect 
to a water pipe or to a ground used by a radio sys-
tem. The engine-generators covered in this manual 
were designed primarily for portable use. 

WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GENERATOR INDOORS. 
The unit should be stored in a warm dry location. 
During a power outage, move the unit outdoors to a 
fl at dry location such as a driveway or sidewalk
. 

 

WIRING

Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump 
pump and other items to be powered directly into 
the generator receptacles.  Before plugging in all the 
tools and cord sets, recheck the rating of the genera-
tor set.  Be sure it can handle the intended load and 
is compatible with the voltage, phase, and current 
ratings.  ‘Hard Wiring’ this unit directly into a tem-
porary construction site electrical system is

 NOT A 

SIMPLE DO-IT-YOURSELF JOB.

  For your safety, 

all wiring must be done by a qualifi ed electrician and 
conform to the National Electric Code and com-
ply with all state and local codes and regulations.  
Check with local authorities before proceeding.

WARNING: PERSONAL DANGER

The 4 wire receptacle on this generator is protected 
by a GFCI breaker.  This means that connecting the 
generator to a distribution panel that has a neutral to 
ground bond it will cause the GFCI breaker to trip.
If you are going to wire this generator into a Tem 
Power application the neutral to ground bond must 
be  removed.
