. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Provide barriers or shields as needed. PERSONAL SAFETY 1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 2. Dress properly.
6. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SERVICE 1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual.
9. Do not force the Generator. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for which it was designed. Do not overload the generator. Know the total running wattage necessary to power the desired items. FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS 1. Gasoline fuel and fumes are flammable, and potentially explosive. Use proper fuel storage and handling procedures. Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby. 2.
if fuel is swallowed. For skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water. For eye contact, immediately flush eyes with clean water. NOISE PRECAUTIONS Prolonged exposure to high noise levels is hazardous to hearing. Always wear ANSI approved hearing protection when operating or working around the Generator when it is running.

UNPACKING When unpacking, check to make sure all the parts shown on the Parts Lists on pages 20 and 22 are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number shown on the cover of this manual as soon as possible. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! Make sure Engine’s Ignition (2) is in its “OFF” position prior to performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of Generator or Engine.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Electrical and other permits may be required for the installation of emergency or portable power systems. Investigate the local building and electrical codes before installing this unit. 2. Prior to providing Generator power to tools and equipment, make sure the Generator’s rated voltage, wattage, and amperage capacity is adequate to supply all electrical loads the unit will power.
Grounding The Generator: GROUNDING TERMINAL (9) #6 AWG GROUNDING WIRE (NOT INCLUDED) GROUNDING ROD (NOT INCLUDED) FIGURE C Note: It is recommended that only a trained and licensed electrician perform this procedure. Connect a #6 AWG grounding wire (not included) from the Grounding Terminal (9) on the Generator to a grounding rod (not included) that has been driven at least 24 inches deep into the earth.
(65) (2) (3) (34) (8) (5) (6) (10) (7) FIGURE D 4. 120 Volt AC Circuit Breakers (3): Each of the two 120 Volt AC Outlets have a Circuit Breaker to protect the Generator from overloading. Should a Circuit Breaker “trip”, unplug all electrical loads from the Generator. Allow the Circuit Breaker to cool down. Then, push the 120 volt Circuit Breakers. (See Figure D.) 5.
8. 12 Volt DC Fuse (8): The 12 Volt DC Outlet has one Fuse (8) to protect the Generator from overloading. The Generator is equipped with the following size and type of Fuse: F10A250V. Should a 12 VDC output exceed the fuse’s rating, always check to see if the Fuse has “blown” (a melted filament within the Fuse). If necessary, unplug all electrical loads from the Generator, replace with a new Fuse, and reattach a reduced load to the generator. (See Figure D.) 9.
Engine will be run in temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, use SAE 5W-30 weight oil. (See Figure E, prior page.) 3. To do so, unscrew and remove the Oil Dipstick (65A). Pour engine oil into the Dipstick Hole until the level of oil is even with top edge of the Dipstick Hole. (See Figure E.) 4. Make sure to screw the Oil Dipstick (65A) firmly back into its Dipstick Hole. (See Figure E.) To Fill The Fuel Tank: 1.
To Start The Engine/Generator: ON OFF FUEL VALVE (41) CHOKE LEVER (21A) CHOKE LEVER (21A) (IN “CHOKE” POSITION) (IN “RUN” POSITION) FIGURE F 1. Turn the Engine Fuel Valve (41) to its “OPEN” position. Then, turn the Engine Choke Lever (21A) to its “CHOKE” position. NOTE: No choke is required if the Engine is warm. Make sure the Engine Choke Lever is in the “RUN” position when starting a warm Engine. (See Figure F.) 2.
to the one 240V AC Outlet (6). Connect 12V DC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the 12V DC Terminal (7). (See Figure D.) 3. CAUTION! Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious damage to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance, tool, or equipment. 4.
11. When finished using the Generator, disconnect all electrical loads. Turn the Engine Ignition (2) to its “OFF” position to stop the Engine. Then, close the Engine Fuel Valve (41). (See Figures D and F.) INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. WARNING! Always make sure the Engine’s Ignition (2) is in its “OFF” position prior to performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of the Generator or Engine. (See Figure D.) 2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Generator and Engine.
PLUG (59A) OIL DIPSTICK (65A) FIGURE G 4. Engine maintenance: a. After first 5 to 8 hours of use: Change oil. Then, change oil every 50 hours of use. Change oil every 25 hours of use when operating the Engine under a heavy load or in high temperatures. To change the oil, remove the Plug (59A) and allow the old oil to drain in a proper container. Once drained, replace the Plug. If the Engine will be run in temperatures above 32° Fahrenheit, use SAE 30 weight oil.
squeeze thoroughly to dry. Then, squirt several drops of a light weight oil onto the Element. Use compressed air to clean the Air Filter Separator. Then replace the Air Filter Separator, Air Filter Element, and Air Filter Cover. Clean more often under dusty conditions or when airborne debris is present. Replace Air Filter parts if necessary. (See Figure H.) c. After every 100 hours of use: Replace the Spark Plug (28A). To do so, remove the Spark Plug Wire (36A).
