1. As a portable power source. You can plug appliances directly into the generator’s

electrical outlets.

2. As a back up, standby power source for a building. A licensed electrician can connect

the generator to your building’s electrical system via the installation of an UL-approved

transfer switch. (See the “Installation & Initial Set-up” section of this manual to learn

more about specific requirements and precautions relating to wiring the generator to your

building’s electrical system.)

You must select a generator adequately sized for your power needs. You need to

determine the power needs of all the appliances/tools you wish to power at the same time and

choose a generator rated to provide at least that power level. See the “Power Load Planning &

Management” section of this manual to determine your specific power load requirements and

then compare them to this generator’s rated capacity. You must not overload the generator.

Overloading will cause damage to the generator and attached electrical devices, and may also

result in fire.

This generator and the engine must be mounted together. More detailed information about

mounting can be found in the “Installation / Initial Set-Up” section of this manual.

Be sure to read about site selection and grounding requirements for running this

generator. More detailed information can be found in the “Installation & Initial Set-up, Steps

5 & 6” of this manual.

CAUTION: This generator is too heavy for one person to lift without assistance.

Optional accessories available from NorthStar include UL-approved transfer switches and

extension cords. Contact NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 with questions

about optional accessories or to order.
