(Continued)
12. Be sure that all tools and appliances
are in good repair and are properly
grounded. Use devices that have
three prong power cords. If an
extension cord is used, be sure that
it has three prongs for proper
grounding.
Do not operate this

generator on wet
surfaces or in the rain.
13. Never operate the generator with
damaged, broken or missing parts, or
with any guarding components
removed.
Shut off the

generator engine
and disconnect the spark plug wire
before performing any service or
maintenance to the unit.
14. Do not refill the fuel tank while the
engine is running. Use precautions to
prevent fuel spillage during refills. Be
sure the fuel tank cap is securely in
place before starting the engine.
Allow engine to cool for at least two
minutes before refueling.
15. Be sure to store gasoline in clean
containers that do not contain
water, dirt or rust because this will
cause the engine to shut down.
Operation
PRE-OPERATION
1.Check fuel every
time you start
your generator.
Always use
clean fuel – see
#15 above. Use
a 50:1 mix of gas and oil (2.6
ounces of oil to one gallon of
gasoline). It is best to use 89 octane
gasoline and a certified 2-cycle oil.
2. Use of a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) is strongly
recommended. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters can significantly reduce
the possibility of injury if an electrical
short occurs.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR
GENERATOR UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS:
1. Rain or inclement weather
2. Excessive vibration
3. Sparking
4. Engine misfire
5. Electric output loss
6. Changing or fluctuating engine
speed
7. Overheating in connected
equipment
8. Damaged receptacles
9. Damaged, broken or missing
parts
10. Guarding components removed
A Ground Fault
WARNING
!
Circuit Interrupter
may not be effective if used on a
generator that is not grounded!
3. When installing a GFCI, be sure to
follow all national and local
regulations, or call a licensed or
certified electrical technician.
GROUNDING
1. Use the ground
terminal on the
generator frame
to connect the
unit to a
suitable ground
source. Securely fasten the end
terminal of the ground wire to the
ground terminal on the generator
frame.
2. The ground wire should be made of
#8 gauge wire. Do not use wire with
a higher gauge number. Higher
gauge numbers indicate thinner
wire, which may not provide an
adequate ground path.
3. The other end of the ground wire
must be securely fastened to an
approved ground source.
The following are ground sources
approved by the National Electric Code.
Other ground sources may be
acceptable. Refer to the National Electric
Code and local regulations for further
ground source information. If not sure

ALWAYS OPERATE YOUR
GENERATOR UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS:
1. Read and understand these
instructions
2. Clear of all persons
3. Properly grounded (generator)
4. Properly grounded (tools,
appliances, etc.)
5. Flat level surfaces
6. Well ventilated areas
of regulations or procedures, obtain
assistance from a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrical technician.
a. An underground water pipe at
least ten feet in length.
b. A non-corrosive underground
pipe at least eight feet in length
and 3/4 inch diameter.
c. A steel or iron underground rod
at least eight feet in length and
5/8 inch diameter.
d. A non-ferrous rod at least eight
feet in length, 1/2 inch in
diameter, and approved for
grounding purposes.
Any rod or pipe used for grounding
must be driven to eight feet deep or
buried in the deepest possible trench.
STARTING
1. Check fuel –
Use a 50:1 mix
of gas and oil
(2.6 ounces of
oil to one
gallon of gasoline).
2. Remove all electrical loads from the
generator.
3. Set the fuel switch to
the open (vertical)
position – pointing
down.
