OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM THE GENERATOR There are basically 2 ways to obtain electricity from a generator: 1. Use of extension cords directly from the generator to the appliance, lights, tools, etc. 2. Use of a double-throw transfer switch installed directly to the main electrical supply outside of house. EXTENSION CORDS When using an appliance or tool at a considerable distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts t

Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over- heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user. You MUST unplug any load from the generator before starting to prevent permanent damage to any appliances. TO START THE ENGINE (Recoi

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all times. The generator should not be stored or operated in environments that includes excessive moisture, dust or any corrosive vapors. If these substances are on the generator, clean with a cloth or soft bristle brush. Do not use a garden hose or anything with water pressure to clean the generator. Water may enter the cooling air slots and could possibly damage the rotor, stator and the internal windings of the gen head. (
