LOW OraLSHUTDOWN
Your Sears generator engine is equipped with Low Oil
Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device
designed to protect your engine from damage in the
event the oil level in the crankcase is low.
If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it wiii
automatically shut itself down and wiii not restart until
the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the
generator wiii not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sen-
sitive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the
dipstick to inactivate this safety device.
GENERATOR CAPACmTY
Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator carl
result in serious damage to your generator and
connected electrical devices. You should observe the
following to prevent overloading the unit:
Starting and running wattage requirements should
always be calculated when matching a generators
wattage capacity to the appliance or tool.
There are two types of electrical appliances that
can be powered by your generator:
A. Items such as radios, light bulbs, television
sets, and microwaves have a "resistive load".
Starting wattage and running wattage are the
same.
B. Rtemssuch as refrigerators, air compressors,
washer, dryer, and hand tools that use an
electrical motor have an "inductive load".
Inductive load appliances and tools require
approximately 2 to 4 times the listed wattage
for starting the equipment. This initial load
only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is
very important when figuring your total
wattage to be used.
NOTE: Some inductive appliances and tools wiii iist
on the motor name plate, the starting and running
voltage and amperage requirements. Use the follow-
ing formula to convert voltage and amperage to
wattage: (Volts X Amp = Watts}
Always start your largest electric motor first, and
then plug in other items, one at a time.
NOTE: On 120-volt loads the maximum starting watt-
age should NOT exceed one half of the rated generator
wattage. Example: a 5250 rated wattage generator =
2625 maximum starting wattage.
The guide is provided to assist you in determining the
appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage
capacity of your generator.
OBTAiNiNG ELECTRiCiTY FROM
GENERATOR
There are basically two ways to obtain electricity form
a generator:
Use of extension cords directly from the genera-
tor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.
Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed
directly to the main electrical supply outside of
the house.
Extension Cord
When using an appliance or tool at a considerable
distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and 3-slot recep-
tacle that accepts the tool's plug should be used. A
cord of adequate size must be used. A minimum of
12 gauge wire size with at bast a 20 amp draw can
be used. When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10
gauge wire size should be used.
extension cord that is hot
touch is overmoaded.

Connecting Generator To Main Electrical
Supply
Potential hazards exist when a eHectricaHgenerator is
connected to the main eHectdcaHsuppHy coming into
the house. It is at that point that the generator couHd
feed back into the utiHitycompany's system causing
possibHe eHectrocufion of workers who are repairing
eHectdcaHHines.To avoid back feeding of eHectdcity into
utility systems, a double-throw transfer switch
should be installed between the generator and utility
power. This device should be installed by a licensed
electrician and in compliance with all local electrical
codes.
NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer
Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.
BEFORE STARTmNG ENGmNE
Amways check engine oimmevem
before every start. Running
ine mowof oil or out of oil could result in
serious damage to the engine.
eng
Adding Engine Oil
Your generator has been shipped without oil in the
engine. Begin by removing the oil dipstick and plug.
Start pouring the oil in slowly.
The engine will hold approximately 26 ounces of oil. To
check the oil, clean and replace the dipstick. Do not
screw the dip stick in when checking the oil level. Next,
remove the dipstick to check the level. The oil dipstick
is clearly marked with lines that tell you when the
engine has enough oil. Do net fi_ above this point.
*Remove gas cap.
Add unleaded gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Never fill fuel tank com-
pletely. Fill tank to 1/2"
below the bottom of the filmer neck to provide
space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage
from engine and equipment before starting
Do not overfill.
Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Never fill fuel tank when
engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when

GENERAL RECOMMENDATmONS
The warranty of the generator does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or negli-
gence. To receive full value from the warranty, opera-
tor must maintain the generator as instructed in this

ated in environments that include excessive moisture,
dust or any corrosive vapors, if these substances are
on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle
brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with
water pressure to clean the generator. Water may
enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage
the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the
generator head.
All adjustments in the Maintenance section of this
manual should be made at least once each season.

CARBURETOR
The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the fac-
tory. The carburetor shouHdnot be tampered with. if your
generator is used at an aHtitude in excess of 4000 feet
performance may be affected, if so consuHt with your
nearest Sears Service Center regarding high aHtitude set
changes.
GOVERNOR
Your engine governor maintains the constant operating
speed of your generator. 00 NOT tamper with the en-
gine governor which is factory set for proper engine
speed.
Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous and couHd possibHy cause per-
sonaH injury or property damage. If you beHievethe en-
gine is running too fast or show, take your generator to a

ment.
MGP327211 16 -- ENG
If you are going to store your generator for more than
30 days, use the following information as a guide to
prepare the generator for storage.
Never store generator with
fuel in the tank indoors or
in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where
fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer or other gas appliances.
Engine Preparation
Add fuei stabiiizer to fuei tank to minimize the
formation of fuei gum deposits during storage.
Run engine at bast 10 minutes after adding
stabiiizer to allow it to enter the fuei system.
Disconnect the spark piug wire and remove the
spark piug.
Add one teaspoon of oii through the spark piug
hob.
Hace rag over spark piug hob and pull the recoii a
few times to iubrbate the combustion chamber.
Repiace the spark piug, but do not connect the
spark piug wire.
NOTE: If a fuei stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must
be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum
deposits from forming on these parts and causing pos-
sibb malfunction of the engine.
