GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)
PROTECTION
Some jobsites and local codes may require GFCI
protection for personnel before operation of your generator. If
your generator is not already equipped with a GFCI
receptacle, GFCI In-line cord sets may be purchased from
your local electrical supply store or home builder appliance
store.
These cord sets are available in various plug and
amperage configurations. (Make sure your generator is
properly Grounded.)
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help
prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the
frame of the generator has been provided for this purpose.
Connecting a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper
wire between the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod
driven into the ground should provide a suitable ground
connection. However, consult with a local electrician to insure
that local codes are being adhered to.
GROUND TERMINAL LOCATION:
Do not use a pipe carrying combustible material as
the ground source.

LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the
crank case with the proper amount and type of oil. Your
generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the
engine.
Fill the engine with oil according to the operator manual.
For units with a dipstick, fill oil to the proper level. Units
without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening of
the oil fill.
LOW OIL SENSOR
The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil level
becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a
warning device or stop the engine.
If generator shuts off and the oil level is within
specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle
that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.
If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to
deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is
completely full of oil.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high
octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We
recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer
will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the
fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/4
inch below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow
expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.
