•

The generator produces dangerously high voltage
that can cause extremely hazardous electrical
shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals,
etc. Never permit any unqualified person to
operate or service the generator.

Never store generator with fuel in tank where
gasoline vapors might reach an open flame or
spark or pilot light (as on a furnace, water heater
or clothes dryer). FIRE or an EXPLOSION might
result.

•

Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device
while standing in water, while barefoot or while
hands or feet are wet. Dangerous electrical shock
will result.

Generator exhaust gases contain DEADLY carbon
monoxide gas. This dangerous gas, if breathed in
sufficient concentrations, can cause
unconsciousness or even death. Operate this
equipment only in the open air where adequate
ventilation is available.

The National Electric Code requires the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of generator
be properly connected to an approved earth
ground. Local electrical codes may also require
proper grounding of the generator. Consult with a
local electrician for grounding requirements in your

HOW TO USE YOUR

GENERATOR

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS operating your
generator, please call the generator helpline at
1-800-222-3136.

GROUNDING

Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding lug and
to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod
(electrode) provides adequate protection against
electrical shock. However, local codes may vary
widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding
requirements in your area.
Proper grounding of generator will help prevent
electrical shock in the event of a ground fault condition
in the generator or in connected electrical devices.
Proper grounding also helps dissipate static electricity,
which often builds up in ungrounded devices.

ELECTRICAL

LOADS

Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes
after starting.
Do not connect 240 Volts to 120 Volt duplex
receptacles
Do not connect 3-phase

loads to receptacles.

Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240
Volt, single phase, 60 Hertz, AC electrical loads.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or Amps) of all loads to be
connected at one time. This total should not be
greater than the rated wattage/amperage capacity
of the generator. See Don't Overload the Generator
on Page 10.

•

Use regular UNLEADED gasoline with the
generator engine.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also, experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels
(called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of
acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. See "Storage" on
page 14. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may
Occur.

TO START
•

THE ENGINE

Unplug all electrical loads from generator
receptacles before starting the engine. NEVER
start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged
into the panel receptacles and turned on.
Make sure the idle control switch is "Off".

•
_

AUTION! Never run engine indoors or in enclosed
poorly ventilatedareas. Engine Exhaustcontains
carbon monoxide,an odorlessand deadly gas.

WARNING!Temperatureof mufflerand nearby
areas may exceed 150°F(65°C). Avoid these areas.

To operate the engine you will need to do the
following:
Add Engine Oil
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase in
the future, use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SF or SG rated SAE 30
weight. Use no special additives. Select the oil's
viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperature.
Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity
oils will result in increased oil consumption when used
above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more
frequently to avoid possible damage from running low
on oil.

•

Open the fuel valve.

Place the Run/Stop Switch in the "RUN"

•

Move engine CHOKE LEVER to "FULL CHOKE
POSITION."

Sensing

Low Pressure

If the system senses low oil pressure during operation,
the engine shuts down. As the system shuts down, the
low oil light comes ON. However, once the engine has
stopped rotating, this light will go OFF.

Restarting
If you try to restart the engine within 10 seconds after
it shuts down, the engine may NOT start. The system
needs 5 to 10 seconds to reset.

Initial Start-up
A delay built in the low oil shutdown system allows oil
pressure to build during starting. The delay allows the
engine to run for about 10 seconds before sensing oil
pressure.

A BATTERY

Your generator has the capability of recharging a
discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage
battery. Do not use the unit to charge any 6 Volt
batteries. Do not use the unit to crank an engine
having a discharged battery.

SHUTDOWN

The engine is equipped with a low oil pressure
that shuts down the engine automatically when
pressure drops below 6 psi. If the engine shuts
by itself and the fuel tank has enough gasoline,
engine oil level.

SAFETY

Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary,
add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in
battery cells. Do not use tap water.
If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make
sure they are installed and are tight.

•

If necessary, clean battery terminals.

•

Connect battery charge cable connector plug to

DON'T OVERLOAD

The rated wattage of lights can be taken from light
bulbs. The rated wattage of tools, appliances and
motors can usually be found on a data plate or
decal affixed to the device.
If the appliance, tool or motor does not give
wattage, multiply volts times ampere rating to
determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
Some electric motors, such as induction types,
require about three times more watts of power for
starting than for running. This surge of power lasts
only a few seconds when starting such motors.
Make sure you allow for this high starting wattage
when selecting electrical devices to connect to your
generator. First, figure the watts needed to start the
largest motor. Add to that figure the running watts
of all other connected loads.

THE GENERATOR

Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage
capacity can result in damage to the generator and to
connected electrical devices. Observe the following, to
prevent overloading the unit:
•

Add up the total wattage of all electrical devices to
be connected at one time. This total should NOT be
greater than the generator's wattage capacity.

MAINTENANCE

Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit
clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean
dry environment where it will not be exposed to
excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors.
Cooling air slots in the generator must not become
clogged with snow, leaves,or any other foreign
material.

15 at 3600 rpm
410 cc
Champion RC12YC or
Equivalent
0.030inch (0.76mm)
5 U.S. gallons

Check the cleanliness of the generator frequently and
clean when dust, dirt, oil, moisture or other foreign
substances are visible on its exterior surface.
Note: We DO NOT recommend using a garden hose
to clean generator. Water can enter the engine fuel
system and cause problems. In addition, if water
enters the generator through cooling air slots, some of
the water will be retained in voids and cracks of the
rotor and stator winding insulation. Water and dirt
buildup on the generator internal windings will
eventually decrease the insulation resistance of these
windings.

SAE 30 (10W-30)
SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30

RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty of the generator does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,
operator must maintain generator as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your generator.

•

Wipe up any spilled oil.

SERVICE AIR CLEANER
Your engine will not run properly and may be
damaged if you run it using a dirty air cleaner. Clean
or replace the air cleaner paper filter once every 50
hours of operation or once a year, whichever comes
first. Clean or replace more often if operating under
dusty conditions. Clean foam pre-cleaner every 25
hours of operation or sooner under dusty conditions.
PAPER
FILTER

CLEAN/REPLACE SPARK PLUG
Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation
or once each year, whichever comes first. This will
help your engine to start easier and run better.
Replace with Champion RC12YC or equivalent.
FOAM

PRE-FILTER

To clean or replace foam

pre-cleaner:

To adjusting

valve clearance:

•

Remove air cleaner cover, then foam pre-filter.

•

Make sure the engine is at room temperature

•

Wash pre-cleaner in soapy water. Squeeze prefilter dry in clean cloth (DO NOT TWIST).

•

Clean air cleaner cover before installing it.

Make sure that the spark plug wire is removed from
the spark plug and out of the way.
Remove the breather tube from the valve cover.

To clean or replace paper air filter:
•

Remove the four screws attaching the valve cover
with a #2 or 3 phillips screwdriver.

Remove air cleaner cover; then remove foam prefilter (service if necessary) and remove paper filter.

•

Clean paper filter by tapping it gently on a solid
surface. If the filter is too dirty, replace it with a new
one. Dispose of the old filter properly.

•

Clean air cleaner cover then insert pre-cleaner into
cover. Next insert new paper filter into cover to hold
pre-cleaner in place and assemble all of them to
the base of the air cleaner.

Make sure the piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC)
of its compression stroke (both valves closed). To
get the piston at top dead center, pull on the recoil
handle slowly watching the piston trough the spark
plug hole. As you pull on the recoil handle the
piston should move up and down. The piston is put
Top Dead Center when it is up as high as it can go.

INSTRUCTIONS

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also,
experience indicates that alcohol-blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.

Oil

STORAGE

TIPS:

•

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

•

Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause
problems.

•

If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to
give protection from dust and dirt. BE SURE TO
EMPTY THE FUEL TANK.

•

Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that
does not retain moisture.

•

CALIFORNIA
AND FEDERAL EMISSION
CONTROL WARRANTY
STATEMENT
Your Warranty

As the ULGE engine owner, you should be aware that
Sears may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or
responsibility if your ULGE engine or a
part/component of it has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, unapproved modifications, or
the use of counterfeit and/or 'grey-market' parts not
made, supplied or approved by the original equipment
manufacturer.

Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board (CARB), United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and
Sears Roebuck and Co. USA (Sears) are pleased to
explain the emissions control system warranty on your
1997 and later utility and lawn and garden equipment
engine. New Utility and Lawn and Garden Equipment
(ULGE) engines must be designed, built, and
equipped to meet both the State of California and
Federal stringent anti-smog standards. Sears must
warrant the emission control system on your ULGE
engine for the periods of time listed below provided
there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper
maintenance of your ULGE engine.

You are responsible for presenting your ULGE engine
to a Sears authorized service center as soon as a
problem occurs. Warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty
rights and responsibilities, you should contact your
nearest authorized service center or call Sears at
1-800-473-7247.

The emissions control system may include parts such
as the carburetor, ignition and exhaust systems. When
a warrantable condition occurs, Sears will repair your
lawn and garden equipment engine at no cost to you.
Expenses covered under warranty include diagnosis,
replacement parts and labor.

Manufacturer's

Warranty

Date

Length of Coverage
Sears warrants to the initial owner and each
subsequent purchaser that the engine is free from
defects in materials and workmanship which cause the
failure of a warranted part for a period of two years.

Coverage

The 1997 and later ULGE engines are warranted for
two years. If any emission related component or
system on your engine (as listed below) is found to be
defective, repairs or replacement will be performed by
an authorized Sears service center.

Owner's

Commencement

The warranty period begins on the date the ULGE
engine is delivered to the original, end-use purchaser.

What is Covered
Repair or Replacement of Parts

Responsibilities

Repair or replacement of any warranted part will be
performed at no charge to the owner at an approved
Sears service center. If you have any questions
regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact your nearest authorized service center
or call Sears at 1-800-473-7247.

As the ULGE engine owner, you are responsible for
the completion of all required maintenance as listed in
your factory supplied Owner's Manual. For warranty
purposes Sears recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your ULGE engine.
However, Sears cannot deny warranty solely because
of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
completion of all scheduled maintenance.

Warranty

How to File a Claim

Period

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance shall be
warranted for 2 years. Any warranted part which is
scheduled only for regular inspection and/or has
instructions to the effect of "repair or replace as
necessary" shall also be warranted for 2 years. Any
warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance shall be warranted either for the
period of time up to its first scheduled replacement, or
for 2 years, whichever comes sooner.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty
rights and responsibilities, you should contact your
nearest authorized service center or call Sears at
1-800-473-7247.

Where

to get Warranty

Warranty services or repairs shall be provided at all
Sears authorized service centers.

and Repair of

Any Sears approved replacement part used in the
performance of any warranty maintenance or repair on
emission related parts will be provided without charge
to the owner if the part is under warranty.

When the ULGE engine is inspected by an authorized
Sears service center, the owner shall not be held
responsible for diagnostic costs if the repair is deemed
warrantable.
