the 120-volt "duplex" type electrical receptacles. All cord
sets used should be rated 125 volts at 20 AC amps or
greater for most electrical devices Keep extension cords
as short as possible, preferably less than 15 feet tong to
prevent voltage drop and wires from overheating.
120 VOLTS, 20 AND 30 AMP RECEPTACLES:
oFor the 120 volts, 20 amp locking type NEMA L5-20R
receptacle, a well-insulated cord set with aNEMA
L5-20P locking type connector plug must be properly
connected to the recept&cle and to the desired 120
volts, single phase, 60 Hz, AC load. Cord sets should
be rated 20 AC amperes at 125 volts (or greater) for
most electrical devices (Fig. 3).

FIG. 3
o For 120 volts, 30 amp locking type NEMA L5-30R
receptacle, a welHnsulated cord set with a NEMA
L5-30P locking type connector plug must be properly
connected to the receptacle and the desired 120 volts,
single phase, 60 Hz, AC load The cord set should be
rated 30 AC amperes at 125 volts (or greater) for most
electrical devices (Fig. 3).
120/240 VOLTS, 30 AMP RECEPTACLE:
A 120/240 volts, 30 amp, locking type type mating connec-
tor plug (Fig 4) is required when using this receptacle A
4-wire cord set, rated 30 AC amperes at 250 volts (or
greater), is required and must be connected to the plug and
to the desired loads Order NEMA type L14-30P
240 VOLTS, 50 AMP RECEPTACLE (Fig. 5)
This receptacle is rated 50 AC amperes at 250 volts. You
need a 3-prong grounded connector plug with same rating
to use with this outlet. Although current capacity of outlet
is rated at 50 amps, loads applied through this outlet should
not exceed 33.3 amps or you will overload the generator
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electrical Code requires that the frame and
external electrically conductive parts of this generator be
properly connected to an approved earth ground Local
electrical codes may also require proper grounding of the
FIG. 5
uniL For that purpose, a GROUNDING WING SCREW is
)rovided on the base of the cradle (Fig. 6).
FIG. 6
Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding screw and
to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (elec-
trode) provides adequate protection against electrical
shock. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with
a local electrician for grounding requirements in your are&
Proper grounding of generator will help prevent electrical
shock in the event of a ground fault condition in the gener-
ator or in connected electrical devices Proper grounding
also helps dissipate static electricity, which often builds up
in ungrounded devices

OPERATION
STOPPING THE ENGINE
o Unplug all electrical loads from the generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with elec..
trical devices plugged in and turned on_
= Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabi-
lize the internal temperatures of engine and generator
,, Set the Run/Stop Switch to STOP position. Wait for
engine to come to acomplete stop (Fig. g).

OPERATING AUTOMATgC iDLE CONTROL
An Automatic Idle Control system provides greatly im-
proved fuel economy and noise reduction by operating the
unit at its normal high governed speed only when electrical
loads are plugged in and turned ON, Tne system consists
of (a) Idle Control Cimuit Board, (b) Sensing Transformer,
(c) Stepper motor', and (d) Idle Control Switch located on
the control panel (Figure 11)
"IDL._CONTROL
FIG. 11
At start-up, the unit runs at either high or low governed
speed for several seconds (the speed it runs depends
on what the governed speed was when the unit was
last shut down). After several seconds, the unit auto-
matically goes to an engine speed selected by the
position of the Idle Control Switch.
o With the Idle Control Switch OFF, unit runs at high
governed speed (about 3600 RPM) whether loads are
connected or not.
o With the Idle Control Switch ON, the unit immediately
goes to high governed speed when loads are applied.
When applying large loads, it is advisable to either
"bump" the load on for a short instant to allow the
engine speed to rise before applying the full load, or to
turn the Idle Control Switch OFF. When loads are
removed for more that several seconds, the unit auto °
matically goes to reduced (idle) speed.
o The Idle Control Switch can be turned ON or OFF while
the unit is running, with loads connected or discon-
nected. When starting the unit, do not connect loads
for about 10 seconds to allow the engine speed to
stabilize_
BATTERY SAFETY
AEXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS
CAUTION: Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE
hydrogen gas while charging. An explosive mix-
ture will remain around the battery for a long time
after it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the gas and cause an explosion. Such an
explosion can shatter the battery and cause blind-
ness or other serious injury.
ACAUTION: DO NOT permit _noklng, open flame,
sparks or any source of heat around abattery. DO
NOT use any lighter or other flame to provld_
lighting for checking battery fluid levels. Wear
protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber
gloves when working around abattery.
ACAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID
CAUTION: Battery elestrolyte fluid is an extremely
caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
bums. DO NOT permit fluid contact with eyes,
skin clothing, etc. if spillage occurs,flush with
clear water Immediately.
CHARGRNG A BATTERY
Your generator has the capability of recharging a dis-
charged, 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_
To recharge 12_voltbatteries, proceed as follows:
= Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT USE TAP WATER_
o If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure
they are installed and are tighL
=If necessary, clean battery posts or terminals_
,, Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel

OPERATUON
ENGINE PROTECTIVE DEVgCES
LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUTDOWN
A Low Oil Pressure Shutdown switch (Fig. 13) on the
engine monitors tow oil pressure, The switch is normally
closed (N.C.), and is held open by engine oil pressure
during startup and operation Should engine oil pressure
drop below a safe value during operation, an automatic
shutdown occurs. This feature protects engine against
damaging low oil pressure conditions and engine failure.
If the engine shuts down unexpectedly, check engine oil
level before attempting a restart..

30-amp circuit breakers, which protect the unit against
electrical overload. Overloading a generator in excess of
its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to the
generator to connected electrical devices Observe the
following, to prevent overloading the unit:
o 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
LOW OIL
FIG. 13
o 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, Ifthe appliance, tool or motor does
not give wattage, multiply 120 volts times ampere rating
to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
,, Some electric motors, such as induction types, require
about two and a half 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.
oThe GUIDE below is provided to assist you in deter-
mining how many items your generator can operate at
one time

CHANGING OIL
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The Owner/Operator is responsible for making sure that all
pedodic maintenance tasks are completed on atimely
basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit
is kept clean and properly stored. Never operate a dam-
aged or defective generator. Follow the recommendations
in the SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS chart on page 9.
ICAUTION: DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE]
A FROM SPARK PLUG AND PLACE WIRE WHERE IT |
CANNOT COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SPARK |
PLUG BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR GENER-/
ATOR. J
GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
Generator maintenance constists of keeping the unit clean
and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environ-
ment 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.
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 additon, if water enters the gener-
ator 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_
TO CLEAN THE GENERATOR:
oUse a damp cloth to wipe exterior surfaces clean_
,= A soft, bristle brush may be used to loosen caked on
dirt, oil, etc_
,, A vacuum cleaner may be used to pick up loose dirt
and debris.
o Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used
to blow away dirt. Inspect cooling air slots and open-
ings on the generator_ These openings must be kept
clean and unobstructed.
CAUTION: Never insert any object or tool through
the air cooling slots, even if the engine Is not
running. Damage to the unit or personal injury may
result.
Change oil after first 8 hours of operation. Change oil every
50 hours thereafter. If you are using your generator under
dirty or dusty conditions, or in extremely hot weather,
change oil more often,
Change oil while engine is still warm from running, as
follows:
I_ CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark ]
plug and keep it away from spark plug. J
_, Clean area around oil drain plug, remove plug (Fig. 14)
and drain oil completely into a suitable container.
