GENERATOR CONNECTIONS

If the generator will be used to replace energy
during electrical utility lack of services,
power input must be insulated . Refer to the
electrical safety measures of the generator in
the INSTALLATION section in this manual. These
connections must be made only by a qualified
electrician.

GENERATOR START

This product contains or produces
chemicals when it is used, considered by
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and other serious damage.
(California Code of Health and Safety
25249.5 et seq.)
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion
and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is deadly,
odorless and invisible gas, and it can be present even
though you cannot see or smell it. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can be accumulated quickly, and you may lose
ability to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can be stored for hours or days in closed or
poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms
of poisoning, get fresh air and seek for medical help. To
prevent serious injury or death by carbon monoxide:
NEVER operate engine indoors. Although the case of
having ventilating fans, windows or open doors, carbon
monoxide can quickly reach dangerous levels.
NEVER turn on engines in areas poorly ventilated or
partially closed. Areas such as warehouses, garages,
basements, homes, rooms, etc.
NEVER turn on engines when the engine exhaust gases
may go into buildings through openings such as windows
or doors.

WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
Gasoline is very dangerous. If gasoline makes
contact with hot surfaces can cause serious
injury or death.
1. Do not fill the fuel tank with the engine running.
2. Turn off engine and wait 2 minutes before filling fuel
3. Do not spill fuel when filling the tank.
4. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
5. Follow the instructions and warnings contained in
the engine manual.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER
In order to prevent overloading and possible damage to
your generator, it is necessary to know the total power
of the connected load. To determine which tools and/or
appliances your generator will run, follow the steps below:
Determine if you want to operate a device or multiple
1
devices simultaneously.
2
Verify start and function power of the apparatuses to
be connected to the generator by checking the power
required in the product label or have help using the values
of table 1 or by calculations (multiply amps x volts).
3
Summarize all the start and function powers. If label gives
only the voltage and amperage, multiply volts x amp =
watts. 1kW = 1,000 watts.
During starting the motor-driven appliances or tools
4
require more power than what is specified on its
nameplate. Note: Consider 2 ½ - 4 times the power
marked on the nameplate for start.
5 The welder/generator's rated watts shall match or exceed
the number of watts required by all the apparatuses you
want to be supplied by the generator.
6
The continuous generator power decreases according to
the temperature and altitude of the place where you are
using the equipment. Use the power correction table and
multiply the rated power indicated in the specificatrion
shhet by the correction factor.
Always connect the bigger load first, and then add the
7
other apparatuses one by one.
VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT
You must use a conditioner (regulator) line when one
or more of the following solid state equipment will be
connected to the generator:
• Control for garage door openers.
• Kitchen appliances with digital displays.
• Televisions.
• Stereo.
• Personal computers.
• Quartz watches.
• Photocopy machines.
• Telephone equipment
