Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your outdoor generator. Know its applications,
its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save
these original instructions for future reference.
The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating and direct current (AC & DC) generator. It
was designed to supply electrical power for operating
compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor
loads. The generator's revolving field is driven at about
3,600 rpm (with QPT™ (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY™)
switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.
The outdoor generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using extension cords or for first time temporary
home power restoration. Before your next home power outage,
install a listed transfer switch. A transfer switch is a separate device
installed by a licensed electrician that allows the portable generator
to be cord connected, using the locking receptacle, directly into
your home's electrical system. Extension cords connected to the
portable generator's control panel are not intended to be a long
term solution when connected to items inside your home.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this
manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the
generator and this documentation at any time without prior notice.
NOTICE If you have questions about intended use, contact an
authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to be used
with Briggs & Stratton authorized parts only.
QPT (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY)
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When switch is ON (I), engine speed increases as
electrical loads are connected, and decreases as electrical
loads are removed.
With switch off (0), engine will run at full governed speed.
NOTICE Always have the switch OFF (0) when starting or
stopping generator or when using DC USB ports.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the generator
frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral
wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator frame).
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State regulations, local codes, or
ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator.
Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or
the local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a construction
site or similar activity as defined by NFPA 70-2014 (NEC)
section 590.6.
