b. Keep fuel containers out of reach of children. c. Do not smoke or use open flame near the generator set or fuel tank. d. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know its proper use. Fire extinguishers rated ABC by NFPA are appropriate. e. Store fuel only in an approved container, and only in a well ventilated area. f. Follow local codes for closeness to combustible material. SAFETY INFORMATION This engine generator set has been designed and manufactured to allow safe, reliable performance.
TESTING POLICY UNIT CAPABILITIES Before any generator is shipped from the factory, it is fully checked for performance. The generator is loaded to its full capacity, and the voltage, current and frequency are carefully checked. Rated output of generator is based on engineering tests of typical units, and is subject to and limited by, the temperature, altitude, fuel, and other conditions specified by the manufacturer of the applicable engines.
1. This generator-set was in good order when shipped. Inspect the generator-set promptly after receiving it. If any damage is noted, notify the transportation company immediately; request proper procedures for filing a “concealed damage” claim. Title to the equipment and responsibility for filing a claim rests with you when a generator set is sent F.O.B. shipping point. Only you can legally file a claim.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SJ or later (or equivalent). Always check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters SJ or later (or equivalent). the customer supplied battery on the unit. If you intend to use the power plant’s electric start system, you will need to purchase and install a battery to operate it. Units equipped with a recoil or rope start will operate satisfactorily without a battery.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY INITIAL START UP Lead acid batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas when charging. Keep sparks, flames, and burning cigarettes away from the battery. Ventilate the area when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid, which causes severe burns. If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush well with water. For contact with eyes, get immediate medical attention.

Return it gently to prevent damage to the starter.
Although individual units and models vary slightly, the normal voltage and frequency of the engine-generator described in this manual are approximately as follows, under varying loads: Note: The use of a fuel additive, such a STA-BIL or equivalent will minimize the formation of gum deposits during storage. The additive may be added to gasoline in the engines fuel tank or to gasoline in a storage container. a.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT OVERLOAD WIRING Keep the generator load within the generator and receptacle nameplate rating. Overloading may cause damage to the generator and/or the loads . Plug your tools such as drills, saws, blowers, sump pump and other items to be powered directly into the generator receptacles. Before plugging in all the tools and cord sets, recheck the rating of the generator set. Be sure it can handle the intended load and is compatible with the voltage, phase, and current ratings.
circuits to be powered during the outage to the emergency panel. Keep in mind only a limited amount of amperage is available from the generator set. Some circuit breakers may still have to be turned off to prevent an overload on the generator during the initial start up. See the nameplate on your generator for the amperage capabilities of your unit. OIL FILLER CAP/ DIPSTICK WASHER OIL LEVEL DRAIN PLUG a.
