INSTALLATION FOR STAND-BY USE
Precautions must be taken to prevent
electrical back feeding into utility
systems. This requires isolation of
the electrical system. To isolate the
electrical system, perform the following
procedures:
1. Turn off the main electrical system
switch prior to connecting the
generator.
2. In accordance with national and
local standards, a double throw
transfer switch must be installed in
the system.
Always shut off
main power prior to
temporary connection of the generator
to a building electrical system.
Installation of the
generator as a
backup electrical source must be
performed by a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrical technician.

Maintenance

INFREQUENT USAGE
If the generator is used infrequently,
starting difficulty may occur. To help
prevent this, the generators should be
run for approximately 30 minutes per
week.

STORAGE

If the generator is not to be used for
extended periods of time, the following
pre-storage procedures should be
performed:
1. Make sure engine oil is filled to the
proper level.
2. Drain all fuel from the tank, lines,
carburetor and fuel valve.
3. Remove the spark plug, and pour
approximately one teaspoon of oil
into the spark plug hole.
4. Pull the starter cord several times
to spread the oil throughout the
cylinder.

5. Slowly pull the starter cord, until
resistance is felt. This indicates that
the piston is moving upward on the
compression cycle, and the intake
and exhaust valves are closed. (The
piston pushes a small amount of
air from the spark plug hole on
compression.)
6. Use of fuel stabilizers or anti-
gumming agents in the fuel system
can help prevent the build up of
gum and varnish.
Whenever the generator is stored, be
sure that the fuel shut-off valve is in the
closed position.
Refer to the engine manual that
accompanies this unit for instructions
regarding maintenance of engine
components.
Never tamper with
engine speed
settings. Any governor adjustments
should be made by qualified personnel
only.
