EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
This generator is an enginedriven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator. It was designed to
supply electrical power for operating compatible
electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads.
This manual contains information for a generator that
operates 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz
devices that require up to 6500 watts (6.5 kW) of
power that pull up to 54.1 Amps at 120 Volts or
27 Amps at 240 Volts.
The Emission Control System for this generator is
warranted for standards set by the Environmental
Protection Agency. For warranty information refer to
the engine owners manual.
SAFETY RULES
This generator set was designed and manufactured for
specific applications. Do Not attempt to modify the
unit or use it for any application it was not designed
for. If you have any questions about your generators
application, ask your dealer or consult the factory.
The manufacturer could not possibly anticipate every
circumstance that might involve a hazard. For that
reason warnings in the manual and warnings on tags
or decals affixed to the unit are not allinclusive. If you
intend to handle, operate or service the unit by a
procedure or method not specifically recommended by
the manufacturer, first make sure that such a
procedure or method will not render this equipment
unsafe or pose a threat to you and others.
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your generator set. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
DANGER! This generator is designed for
outdoor use only. Never use this generator
inside any building or enclosure including the
generator compartment of a recreational vehicle
(RV). Carbon monoxide poisoning, fire
and/or an explosion may result. No user
performed modifications, including venting of
exhaust and/or cooling ventilation, will eliminate
the danger. Always have at least two feet of
clearance on all sides of the generator while
operating the unit.
DANGER! You must isolate the generator
from the electric utility using approved transfer
equipment if this unit is used for backup power.
Failure to isolate the generator from the
power utility may result in injury or death to
electric utility workers and damage to the
generator due to a backfeed of electrical
energy. Whenever unit is providing backup
power, the electric utility must be notified.
DANGER! Do Not tamper with engine
governed speed. High operating speeds are
dangerous and increase risk of personal injury
or damage to equipment. The generator
supplies correct rated frequency and voltage
only when running at proper governed speed.
Incorrect frequency and/or voltage can damage
some connected electrical loads. Operating at
excessively low speeds imposes a heavy load.
When adequate engine power is not available
engine life may be shortened.
DANGER! Do Not exceed the generators
wattage/amperage capacity. Add up the rated
watts of all devices you are connecting to
generator receptacles at one time. This total
should not be greater than 6,500 watts for this
generator. See Do Not Overload the
Generator on page 12 for specific information.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
