The generator is compatible with the ST Switch, purchased
separately. When utility power is on it will provide power (up
to 120V @ 20A) to the appliances plugged into the 5-20R
receptacle on the ST Switch. When utility power is lost the
ST Switch automatically transfers input power from utility
to generator power. When utility power is restored, the
ST Switch transfers input power back to utility. Visit www.

TRANSPORTING

Weight hazard. Always have assistance when lifting the
generator.
• Allow the generator to cool a minimum of 30 minutes
before transporting.
• Replace all protective covers on the generator control
panel.
• Keep the unit level during transport to minimize the
possibility of fuel leakage or, if possible, drain the fuel
or run the engine until the fuel tank is empty before
transport.
• The generator wheels are only intended for hand
transport. The wheels are not suitable for towing the
generator either on or off-road.
• Use the extendable handle for hand transport. Only use
the handle while the generator is OFF, stationary, and
resting on a horizontal surface. Do not use the handle
to lift the generator entirely off the ground, tow it, or
up-end it.
Fire hazard. Do not up-end the generator or place it on
its side. Fuel or oil can leak and damage to the generator
may occur.
