EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
This generator isan engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designedto
supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical
lighting, appliance,tool and motor loads. This manual
contains informationfor a generator that operates 120
and/or 240 Volt AC, singlephase,60 Hz devicesthat
require up to 5,500 watts (5.5 kW) of power that pull up
to 45.8 Amps at 120Volts or 22.9Amps at 240 Volts.
_ CAUTION! Do Not exceed the generator's
wattage/amperage capacity.Add up the rated watts
of all devicesyou are connecting to generator
receptacles at one time. This total should not be
greater than 5,500 watts. See"Don't Overload the
Generator" on page II.
The generator's revolving field is driven at about 3,600 rpm
by a single-cylinder engine and hasthe following features:

_ AUTION! Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed.High operating speedsare
dangerous and increaserisk of personal injuryor
damageto equipment The generator supplies
correct rated frequency and voltage only when
running at proper governed speed. Incorrect
frequency and/or voltage candamagesome
connected electrical loads.Operating at excessively
low speedsimposesa heavyload.When adequate
engine power isnot available,engine life may be
shortened.
