 Ensure that generator is properly grounded. (See
"Grounding the generator" section in this manual.)
 Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that
may be caught in the starter or other rotating parts.
 Unit must reach operating speed before electrical
loads are connected. Disconnect loads before turn-
ing off engine.
 To prevent surging that may possibly damage equip-
ment, do not allow engine to run out of fuel when
electrical loads are applied.
 When powering solid state equipment, a Power Line
Conditioner should be used to avoid possible dam-
age to equipment.
 Do not stick anything through ventilating slots, even
when the generator is not operating. This can dam-
age the generator or cause personal injury.
 Before transporting the generator in a vehicle, drain
all fuel to prevent leakage that may occur.
 Use proper lifting techniques when transporting the
generator from site to site. Improper lifting tech-
niques may result in personal injury.
 To avoid burns, do not touch engine muffler or other
engine or generator surfaces which became hot dur-
ing operation.
 Do not alter or modify the heat shield.
 Keep metal objects away from the battery terminals.
Metal objects can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

SPARK ARRESTING MUFFLER

yOUR PRODUCT MAy NOT BE EQUIPPED wITH A SPARK
ARRESTING MUFFLER. If the product will be used around
flammable materials, such as agricultural crops, forests, brush,
grass, or other similar items, then an approved spark arrester
should be installed and is legally required in the State of Califor-
nia. The California statutes requiring a spark arrester are Sections
13005(b), 4442 and 4443. Spark Arresters are also required on
some U.S. Forest Service land and may also be legally required
under other statutes and ordinances. An approved spark arrester
is available from our product dealers, or may be ordered from
OWT Industries, Inc., P.O. Box 35, Hwy. 8, Pickens, SC 29671,
1-800-726-5760.

OPERATING VOLTAGE

CAUTION:
Operating voltage and frequency requirement of all electronic
equipment should be checked prior to plugging them into this
generator. Damage may result if the equipment is not designed
to operate within a +/- 10% voltage variation, and +/- 3 hz
frequency variation from the generator name plate ratings. To
avoid damage, always have an additional load plugged into
the generator if solid state equipment (such as a television
set) is used. A power line conditioner is recommended for
some solid state applications.
A power line conditioner should be used when any of the
following solid state items:
Garage door openers
Kitchen appliances with digital displays
Televisions
Stereos
Personal computers
Quartz clocks
Copy machines
Telephone equipment

DETERMINING TOTAL wATTAGE

In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator it is necessary to know the total wattage of the
connected load. To determine which tools and/or appliances
your generator will run follow these steps:
 Determine if you want to run one item or multiple items simul-
taneously.
 Check wattage requirements for the items you will be running
by referring to the load's nameplate or by calculating it (mul-
tiply amps x volts = watts).
 Total the watts for each item. If the nameplate only gives volts
and amps, multiply volts x amps = watts.
1 Kw = 1,000 watts
 Motorized appliances or tools require more than their rated
wattage for start up.
NOTE: Allow 2-1/2 to 4 times the listed wattage for start-
ing equipment powered by electric motors.
 The generator's rated watts should match or exceed the total
number of watts required for the equipment you want to run.
 Always connect the heaviest load to the generator first, then
add other items one at a time.
