result in overheating of the wires or at-
tached items, resulting in fire.
Use of ungrounded cordsets could pre-
vent operation of circuit breakers and re-
sult in electrical shock.
Accidental leakage of electrical current
could charge conductive surfaces in con-
tact with the generator.
Exceeding the load capacity of the gen-
erator by attaching too many items, or
items with very high load ratings to it
could result in overheating of some items
or their attachment wiring resulting in fire
or electrical shock.
Attempting to use the unit when it has
been damaged, or when it is not func-
tioning normally could result in fire or
electrocution.

GENERATOR CAPACITY
Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can
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 must be
calculated to match your generator wattage capacity.
Resistive load appliances such as light bulbs, TV's
and microwaves, have the same starting and running
wattage. The wattage used for calculating the capacity
can usually be found on each of these appliances.
Some inductive appliances and tools will list on the motor
name plate, the starting and running voltage and amperage
requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage
and amperage to wattage:
(Volts X Amp = Watts)
Inductive load appliances and tools such as refrigerators,
air compressors and washers require approximately 2 to
4 times the listed running wattage for starting the equip-
ment. 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: Always start your largest electric motor first, and
then plug in other items, one at a time.
The guide below is provided to assist you in determining
the appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage
capacity of your generator.
I!
OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM
GENERATOR
There are basically two ways to obtain electricity form a
generator:
• Use of extension cords directly form the generator
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 receptacle 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
least a 20 amp draw can be used. When amperage
exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge wire size should be used.
11 -- ENG
Connecting Generator To Main Electrical
Supply
Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is con-
nected to the main electrical supply coming into the house.
It is at that point that the generator could feed back into the
utility company's system causing possible electrocution of
workers who are repairing electrical lines. To avoid back
feeding of electricity into utility systems, a double-throw
transfer switch should be installed between the genera-
tor and utility power. This device should be installed by a
licensed electrician and in compliance with all local electri-
cal codes.
NOTE: When installing a Double-ThrowTransfer Switch,
a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
I CAUTION: Always check engine oil level before
every start. Running engine low of oil or out of oil
could result in serious damage to the engine.
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 not fill above this point.
CLEAN
DIPSTICK
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use a
high quality detergent oil classified "For Service SF,SG,SH"
rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives. Select the
oil's viscosity grade according to your expected operating
temperatures.

TARTI NG TEMPERATLIR1E RANGE_ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT_IL CHANGE
Low Oil Shutdown
Your Sears generator engine is equipped with Low Oil
Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device de-
signed 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 will
automatically shut itself down and will not restart until the
oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the genera-
tor will not start until oil is added.
NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensi-
tive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick
to inactivate this safety device.
Gasoline
Your generator engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel only.
Never mix oil with gasoline.
CAUTION: Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to
1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide
space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from
engine and equipment before starting engine.
I WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel I
tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke I
when filling fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If unleaded
fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be used.
To Start Your Generator
I CAUTION: Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, I
I
poor ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains car-
lbon monoxide, an ordorless and deadly gas.
Make sure the fuel shutoff valve is turned to the open
position.

• DO NOT connect 240 volt equipment to the 120 volt
duplex receptacles.
• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the panel
receptacles.
IMPORTANT: You should always add up the rated
watts of all lights, tools and appliances you are power-
ing at one time. This total should not exceed the rated
capacity of you generator or circuit breaker rating of
the receptacle supplying power.
Stopping The Engine
• Disconnect all electrical loads.
• Switch the start/off switch to the off position.

RESISTOR
Carburetor
The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the factory.
The carburetor should not be tampered with. If your gen-
erator is used at an altitude in excess of 4000 feet perfor-
mance may be affected. If so consult with your nearest
Sears Service Center regarding high altitude set changes.
Governor
Your engine governor maintains the constant operating
speed of your generator. DO NOT tamper with the engine
governor which is factory set for proper engine speed.
Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set-
ting can be dangerous and could possibly cause personal
injury or property damage. If you believe the engine is run-
ning too fast or slow, take your generator to a Authorized
Sears Service Center for repair and adjustment.
I CAUTION: Low engine speeds impose a heavy load I
on the engine and when sufficient power is not avail- I
able the engine life could be shortened.
Ifyou are going to store your generator for more than 30
days, use the following information as a guide to prepare
the generator for storage.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: 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 fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the
formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
• Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow it to enter the fuel system.
• Next shut off engine.
• Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the
spark plug.
• Add one teaspoon of oil through the spark plug hole.
• Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a
few times to lubricate the combustion chamber.
• Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark
plug wire.
NOTE: If a fuel 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
possible malfunction of the engine.
Generator
• Clean the generator as outlined on Page 14 (Generator
Maintenance)
• Check that cooling air slots and openings on generator
are open and unobstructed.

CALIFORNIA & US EPA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and Tecumseh Products Co.
are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your new utility or lawn and garden
equipment engine. In California, new 1995 and later utility and lawn and garden equipment engines must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 1997 and later model year engines must be
designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. Tecumseh
Products Co. will warrant the emission control system on your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine for the periods of time
listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your utility or lawn
and garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, ignition system and exhaust system. Also included may
be the compression release system and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Tecumseh Products Co. will repair your utility or lawn and garden equipment engine at no
cost to you for diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE
Emission control systems on 1995 and later model year California utility and lawn and garden equipment engines are warranted
for two years as hereinafter noted. In other states, 1997 and later model year engines are also warranted for two years. If, during
such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired
or replaced by Tecumseh Products Co.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
As the utility or lawn and garden equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance
listed in your Owner's Manual, but Tecumseh Products Co. will not deny warranty solely due to the lack of receipts or for your
