INITIAL INSPECTION

Upon receiving your generator set, inspect the product to make

sure it is complete and in good condition. Handle with care and

place in a suitable site for storage or operation.

GROUND CONNECTION

The generator can be grounded to earth to reduce the chance

of electrical shock. To do this you will need a grounding rod

and an appropriately sized copper ground wire. Drive the

ground rod into the earth, connect one end of the copper wire

to the rod and connect the other end to the external ground

connection on the generator set. This is a general explanation,

consult National and Local electrical codes to ensure

compliance.

BEFORE START-UP

ENGINE FUEL

Use only Diesel fuel with cetane value of more than 45. Check

the fuel gauge beside the fuel fill and add as necessary.

ENGINE OIL

The engine manual or other information provided by the engine

manufacturer supersedes data provided here. Proper oil grade

varies with climate. Consult the engine manual to verify proper

grade. The oil fill port is located on top of the engine. The

integral dipstick is located on the side of the engine. Add the

proper amount of oil and check the level using the dipstick.

STARTING BATTERY (Electric Start odels Only)

The starting battery should be rated at 420 CCA. The battery is

fully charged if a voltage of 12.84VDC is measured across the

terminals using a DC Voltmeter.

POSITIONING

• Place the generator set on a flat and solid surface to

prevent it from sinking.

• The surface should not be more than 25° from horizontal

in any direction for the engine to lubricate properly.

• Keep fuel, oil or other explosives at a safe distance from

the generator set.

• Select a site that is well ventilated and protected from the

weather.

• Place the generator set safely away from people and

animals.

STARTING THE GENERATOR SET

Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that

all instructions given in previous sections have been

followed completely.

• Check oil and fuel levels.

• Turn the fuel valve under the fuel tank on.

FUEL SUPPLY SOLENOID SWITCH

• Place the Fuel Supply Solenoid Switch in the UP

position for RECOIL START.

• Place the Fuel Supply Solenoid Switch in the DOWN

position for ELECTRIC START.

RECOIL START

• Turn key to 1st position-

Warning Light On.

• Slowly pull recoil cord until

resistance is felt, and then

pull firmly. Let the recoil

rewind slowly to avoid

damage.

ELECTRIC START

• Turn key to 1st position-

Warning Light On.

• Turn key to 2nd position-

Starting.

• Return key to 1st position when engine is running.

• Note: If the engine does not start after 20 seconds, stop

and wait 1 minute and repeat this step.

PRI ING PROCEDURE

This procedure may be required for the initial start or

subsequent starts, if the fuel runs out, or if air is in the fuel

system.

1. Fill the tank completely with DIESEL fuel.

2. Open the fuel shut-off valve under the tank.

3. Pump the primer lever 2-3 times.

4. Watch for the fuel filter to be completely filled with diesel

with no air inside.

5. Crank the engine by turning the ignition key or pulling

the recoil.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR GUIDE (applicable models)

The voltage selector switch allows the generator set to produce

120 volts only or to produce 120/240 volts simultaneously. With

the switch in the 120V position only the 120V receptacles may

be used. All of the power from the generator is available at 120

volts but the 240V output is not available. In the 120/240V

position all receptacles are operable however only half of the

generator output is available at any one 120V receptacle. Full

power may be pulled from the generator from the 240V

receptacle. The switch should always be left in the 120V

position when 240 volts are not needed. This balances the

load on the generator more effectively.

STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET

Unplug all appliances and let

the engine run unloaded for a

couple of minutes. Turn the key

switch to the Stop (0) position.

Turn the fuel valve on the

bottom of the fuel tank Off.

GENERATOR APPLICATION

WHAT IS A GENERATOR

A generator is basically a prime mover, typically a gasoline or

diesel engine, coupled to an alternator to produce electricity. It

is very useful as a substitute power source during power

outages or as the primary source in remote locations where

power is not available. enerators are essential for people

such as contractors or farmers who are always in need of

portable power. They are also very convenient for recreational

use.

SELECTING A GENERATOR

Selecting the proper generator is important. A generator that is

too small for your application will not run all of the equipment

needed. A generator that is too large will cost more and if

never used to its potential the money is wasted. The correct

size generator is determined by totaling the wattage

requirements of the items to be used simultaneously,

determine additional starting wattage requirements and total

these numbers. Select a generator with a continuous rating

that exceeds this by about 20% to allow for expansion. See the

table in the section titled “ enerator Set Overload” for some

wattage guidelines of common equipment.

FUEL VALVE UP

DOWN

FUEL SUPPLY

SOLENOID

SWITCH

RATED vs. SURGE WATTS

Rated, or continuous, watts are the watts an item needs as it is

running.

Surge, or maximum, watts are the watts an item needs to start.

This is typically 2-4 times the rated watts.

This information is typically provided on the manufacturer’s

nameplate. If watts are not provided, it can be calculated using

the formula: Watts=Amps x Volts.

EXTENSION CORDS

An extension cord should always be in good condition with no

damage to the wires or sheathing. Never run an extension cord

through water. The correct wire size for an extension cord can

be determined from the table that follows.

LOADING YOUR GENERATOR SET

With reference to the Receptacle details section, please review

the power receptacles fitted to your generator. The circuit

breaker rating and the generator rating drive the actual load

that may be pulled from each receptacle. The ratings shown in

the table are the maximum available from each receptacle.

DO NOT EXCEED THE INDIVIDUAL RECEPTACLE RATIN S

AS SHOWN IN THE TABLE BELOW. DO NOT EXCEED THE

TOTAL ENERATOR RATIN SHOWN IN TABLE 2

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. All generator units are

equipped with a magnetic main circuit breaker.

A PERAGE RATE TABLE

ENGINE LI ITATIONS ON GENERATOR

PERFOR ANCE

enerator ratings assume 60°F (20C) and Sea Level.

Operation of your generator at temperatures above 60°F (20C)

or above Sea Level will result in lower electrical output.

Electrical output must be derated 1% for each 10°F above

60°F and 3 ½ % for each 1000 feet above mean sea level.

GENERATOR CLEANING

CAUTION: ALWAYS SHUT DOWN THE ENERATOR

AND ALLOW IT TO COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE

PERFORMIN CLEANIN OPERATIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT USE HI H PRESSURE WATER

OR A ARDEN HOSE TO CLEAN YOUR

ENERATOR. WATER INTRODUCED INTO THE

ENERATOR CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS,

ENERATOR DAMA E OR PERSONAL INJURY.

• Compressed air (max. 25 psi) may be used to blow loose

dirt and dust from your generator. DO NOT DIRECT

COMPRESSED AIR DIRECTLY INTO ANY OPENIN IN

THE ENERATOR OR EN INE.

• Use a dampened cloth to wipe clean exterior surfaces.

• Use a soft bristle brush to clean/ loosen heavy dirt, oil or

grease deposits.

• NEVER insert rags, tools or any device into the generator

or engine openings.

GENERAL STORAGE GUIDELINES

WARNING: DIESEL FUEL FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE.
