The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,

alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to

supply electrical power for operating compatible

electrical lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads.

This manual contains information for a generator that

operates 120 and/or 240 Volt, single phase, 60 Hz

devices that require up to 5000 watts (5.0 kW) of

power that pull up to 41.7 Amps at 120 Volts or

20.8 Amps at 240 Volts

! Do not exceed the generator’s

wattage/amperage capacity. See “Don’t

Overload the Generator” on page 9.

The generator’s revolving field is driven at about

3600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.

! Do not tamper with engine

governed speed. Improper operating speeds

are dangerous and increase risk of personal

injury or damage to equipment.

This generator set was designed and manufactured

for specific applications. Do not attempt to modify the

unit or use it for any application it was not designed

for. If you have any questions about your generator’s

application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every

circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that

reason, warnings in the manual and warnings on tags

or decals affixed to the unit are not all-inclusive. If you

intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a

procedure or method not specifically recommended

by the manufacturer, first make sure that such a

procedure or method will not render this equipment

unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar

limitations and any hazards involved.
• The generator produces a very powerful voltage

that can cause extremely dangerous electrical

shock. Avoid contact with bare wires, terminals, etc.

Never permit an untrained person to operate or

service the generator.

• Never handle any kind of electrical cord or device

while standing in water, while barefoot, or while

hands or feet are wet.

• The National Electric Code requires the frame and

external electrically conductive parts of the

generator be properly connected to an approved

earth ground. Local electrical codes may also

require proper grounding of the generator. Consult

with a local electrician for grounding requirements

in your area.

• Use a ground fault circuit interrupter in any damp or

highly conductive area (such as metal decking or

steel work).
