Stopping The Engine; Operating Automatic Idle Control; Oil Pressure Shutdown; Charging A Battery - Briggs & Stratton PRO Serie Manual Del Operario

• DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the generator.
• DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See Don't
Overload Generator.
NOTICE Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity
can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to
it.
• DO NOT exceed the generator's wattage/amperage capacity. See
Don't Overload Generator in the Operation section.
• Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting
electrical loads.
• Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for
operation.
• Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before
stopping generator.

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Move idle control switch to "Off" position.
3. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.
4. Push run/stop switch to "Stop" position.
WARNING Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive which could cause burns,
fire or explosion resulting in death,
serious injury and/or property damage.
• DO NOT stop engine by moving choke control to choke
position.
5. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only run at
its normal high governed engine speed when electrical loads
are connected. When electrical loads are removed, the
engine will run at a reduced speed.
With the switch off, the engine will run at the normal high
engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and
stopping the engine.

Oil Pressure Shutdown

If engine oil pressure drops below a preset level, an oil
switch will stop the engine. Check oil level with dipstick.
If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on dipstick:
1. DO NOT try to restart the engine.
2. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.
3. DO NOT operate engine until oil pressure is corrected.
If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick:
1. Add oil to bring level to FULL mark.
2. Restart engine and if the engine stops again a low oil
pressure condition may still exist. DO NOT try to restart
the engine.
3. Contact an Authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer.
4. DO NOT operate engine until oil pressure is corrected.

Charging a Battery

Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged
12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery.
• DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries.
• DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having a
discharged battery.
WARNING Storage batteries give off explosive
charged. Slightest spark could ignite hydrogen causing
explosion resulting in death, serious injury and/or
property damage.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely
caustic. Contact with battery fluid could cause chemical
burns resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
• DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette
during and for several minutes after charging a battery.
• Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.
• DO NOT continue to charge a battery that becomes hot or is
fully charged.
• DO NOT leave battery unattended.
( )
To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:
1. Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add
ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery
cells. DO NOT use tap water.
2. If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they
are installed and are tight.
3. If necessary, clean battery terminals.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds - chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
4. Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel
receptacle identified by the words "12V 10A D.C."
5. Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to
the positive (+) battery terminal.
