BATTERY SAFETY
,_ EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS
CAUTION: Storage batteries give off EXPLOSIVE
hydrogen gas while charging. An exploslve 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.
,i_ CAUTION: DO NOT permit smoking, open flame,
sparks or any source of heat around a battery. DO
NOT use any lighter or other flame to provide
lighting for checking battery fluid levels. Wear
protective goggles, rubber apron and rubber
gloves when working around a battery.
CAUSTIC SULFURIC ACID
CAUTION: Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
caustic sulfuric acid solution that can cause severe
burns.. DO NOT permit fluid contact with eyes,
skin clothing,, etc. If spillage occurs,flush with
clear water immediately.
CHARGING 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-volt batteries, 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
- If the battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure
they are installed and are tight,
•if necessary, clean battery posts or terminals
° Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle (Fig 9) identified by the words "12-VOLT

If the engine shuts down unexpectedly, check engine oil
level before attempting a restart,
CAUTION!; DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE AN
ENGINE WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE BY UNPLUG-
GING THE LEAD FROM THE LOW OIL PRESSURE
SWITCH OR BY BYPASSING THE SWITCH IN ANY
MANNER.. OPERATING WITH LOW OIL PRES-
SURE COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE OR CAUSE
FAILURE.
OPERATION
DON'T OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR
This generator is equipped with two 20-amp, one 20-amp
and one 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:
• 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.
= 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 devicelf the appliance, toot or motor does
not give wattage, mufitpty 120 volts times ampere rating
to determine watts (volts x amps = watts).
• Some electric motors, such as inductiontypes, 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 devies 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

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
periodic maintenance tasks are completed on a timely
basis; that all discrepancies are corrected; and that the unit
is kept clean and properly stored. Never operate a dam-
aged or defective generator. Fo}low the recommendations
in the SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS chart on page 9.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE
FROM SPARK PLUG AND PLACE WIRE WHERE IT
CANNOT COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SPARK
PLUG BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR GENER_
ATOR,
Change oil after first 8 hours of operation. Change oi! 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:
[ _k CAUTION: Disconnect spark plugwire from spark 1
Iplug and keep It away from sparkJ_lU_l., .....
• Clean area around oil drain plug, remove plug (Fig_ 14)
and drain oil completely into a suitable container.
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 tn additon, if water enters the gener-
ator through cooiing air slots, some of the water witt 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:
,, Use 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
• Low pressure air (not to exceed 25 psi) may be used
to blow away dirt Inspect cooling air stots and open-
ings on the generator These openings must be kept
dean and unobstructed.
CAUTION: Never insert any object or tool through
the air cooling slots, even if the engine is not
result.running"Damage to the unit or persona njury may

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE SPEED
CAUTION: Engine speed was properlyadjustedat
the factory and should require noaddittona!adjust-
menL Do not attempt to change engine speed. If
you believe the engine Is running too fast or too
slow, take your generator to an authorized Sears
Service Center for repair and adjustment. CHANG_
ING ENGINE GOVERNED SPEED WILL VOID EN-
GINE WARRANTY.
Th speed of the generator is maintained by an electronically
controlled governor. DO NOT try to adjust the governed
speed setting for the following reasons:
• High engine speeds are dangerous and increase the
risk of personal injury or damage to equipment.
° Low engine speeds impose a heavy load on the engine
when sufficient engine power is not available and may
shorten engine life
° The generator will supply correct rated AC frequency
and voltage only at the proper speed Some connected
electrical devices could be damaged by incorrect fre-
quency and/or voltage
CARBURETOR
You may need to adjust the carburetor to compensate for'
differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load Air
cleaner and air cleaner cover must be assembled to carbu-
retor when you run the engine
NOTE: DO NOT remove the air cleaner when running the
engine Operation without the air cleaner fully assembled
and the air filter installed may cause engine damage
INITIAL ADJUSTMENT
° Gently turn IDLE MIXTURE valve (Fig 20) clockwise
until it just closes DO NOT FORCE Valve may be
damaged by turning it inward too far
,, Next open IDLE MIXTURE valve 1-3/4 turns counter-
clock,vise
=This initial adjustment will permit the engine to be
started and warmed up
FINAL ADJUSTMENT
,, Start engine and let it warm up for at least five minutes
,Hold the throttle against its idle stop (idle speed) and
then turn the IDLE MIXTURE vaive slowly clockwise
1/8 turn at a time until the lean dropoff point is reached
(engine starts to miss and run erratically) Now turn the
IDLE MIXTURE valve counterc!ockwise until engine
speed begins to s!ow again (rich dropoff point)
• Turn the valve to mid point between rich and lean
tf further adjustment is needed, the main adjustment should
be made under a load condition as outlined under LOAD
ADJUSTMENT
LOAD ADJUSTMENT
•Let engine accelerate to normal governed speed.
• Apply electrical loads to the generator at or near the
unit's full rated wattage/amperage capacity.
• If the engine stops or hesitates under load, open the
IDLE MIXTURE screw 1/8 turn at a time. Test each
setting with the engine under load until engine runs
smoothly.
= If engine smokes excessively, turn the IDLE MIXTURE
SCREW clockwise 1/8 turn at a time until condition is
corrected
• After IDLE MIXTURE SCREW is properly set, move
throttle to idle speed position. If engine does not idle
smoothly turn IDLE SPEED SCREW 1/8 turn at a time
(either direction) until engine runs smoothly
NOTE: Engines operated at altitudes at about 5000 feet or
higher may require that you install a high altitude carburetor
main jet (Part No 80883) to achieve best engine perform-
ance If engine performs erratically, contact your Sears
Service Center to install the high altitude jet
