INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
WARNING: To avoid possible personal inju-
ry or equipment damage, a register electrician
or an authorized service representative should
perform installation and all service. Under no
circumstances should an unqualified person
attempt to wire into utility circuit. Give the
generator at least two feet of space from any
nearby wall to dissipate heat.
• To avoid back feeding into utility systems,
isolation of the residence electrical system is
required.
• Before temporary connection of the genera-
tor to the residence system, turn off the main
service disconnecting device.
• If your generator is to be used as a stand–by
power source in case of utility power failure,

it should be installed by a registered electri-
cian and in compliance with all applicable local
electrical codes.
• Proper use requires that a double throw
transfer switch be installed by licensed quali-
fied electrician so that the building's electrical
circuits may be safely switched between util-
ity power and the generator output; thereby
preventing back feed into the power utility's
electrical system.
• Always follow local codes and regulations
that apply to the installation of any item that
concerns this product.

OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATION
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that this
product be properly connected to appropriate
earth ground to help prevent electric shock.
A ground terminal connected to the frame of
the generator has been provided for this pur-
pose.
Connect a length of a heavy gauge (12 AWG
min.) bare cooper cable between the ground
lug attached to the generator´s frame (identi-
fied with a label with the ground symbol- see
figure below) and a cooper rod drawn 1 meter
into the ground which should provide a suit-
able ground connection.
However, consult with a local electrician to in-
sure that local codes are being adhered to.
WARNING: do not use a pipe carrying com-
bustible material as the ground source.
LUBRICATION
DO NOT attempt to start the engine without
filling the engine crankcase with the proper
amount and type of oil. Use SAE 30 oil.
