Readthis manualcarefully and becomefamiliar
with your generator. Knowits applications, its
limitationsand any hazardsinvolved.
Thegenerator is an engine-driven, revolvingfield, alternating
current (AC)generator. It was designedto supply electrical
power for operating compatible electricallighting, appliances,
tools and motor loads.The generator's revolving field is
driven at about3,600 rpm by a single-cylinder engine.
This generator incorporates GFCI(Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded to
ground to comply to OSHAinspections on job sites. This
generatorwill not function when connected to a 2 pole
transfer switch since the home or building main breaker box
also has a neutral bonded to ground. When both the
generator andthe home or building breakerbox contains a
neutral bonded to ground, the generators GFCIwill open and
no outlets will function.
