BEFORE OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this product be
properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help
prevent electric shock. A ground terminal bolted to the frame of
the generator has been provided for this purpose. Connecting
a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire between
the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod driven into the
ground should provide a suitable ground connection. However,
consult with a local electrician to insure that local codes are
being adhered to.
WARNING: Do not use a pipe carrying
combustible material as the ground source.
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the crank
case with the proper amount and type of oil. (See the
accompanying engine manual for this information.) Your
generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the
crankcase. Operating the unit without oil will damage the engine.
FUEL
Fill the tank
with clean, fresh
unleaded
automotive
gasoline. Regular
grade gasoline
may be used
provided a high
octane rating is
obtained (at least
85 pump octane).
CAUTION: Do not overfill the tank. Keep
maximum fuel level 1/4 inch below the top of
the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in hot
weather and prevent overflow.
WARNING: Gasoline is very dangerous.
Serious injury may result from fire caused by
gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
1. Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.
2. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.
3. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
