9. STOPPING.
A. Remove all loads from generating set.
B. Continue to run the engine at no load for three to
five minutes so that the engine may cool down under
no load.
C. Stop the engine by depressing or switching start-
stop switch to "stop". The switch may be found on the
receptacle panel or on the engine.
D. Do not leave the generating set until it has
completely stopped. Engine and muffler will remain hot
for several hours after set is stopped. Severe burns
remain as potential injury hazard.
E. After engine is stopped, close the fuel on-off valve
(under fuel tank) and secure set.
WARNING
STAND-BY INSTALLATION
This manufacturer does not recommend the use of a
portable generator set as a means of obtaining
emergency standby power for residential use. Too
many accidents resulting in loss of property and loss of
life, due to constant re-filling of gasoline fuel into a
constant running portable generator during any type
electric power loss or a potential of breathing toxic
exhaust fumes which may cause a loss of life. A better
method is to use a self contained standby generator set
installed into a full weather protected housing and
fueled with a more safe, LPG or Natural Gas fuel. See
our 12 KW and 18 KW self contained standby gen-sets,
specifically designed for standby use.
YOUR GENERATING SET MAY HAVE ONE OR
MORE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONAL ITEMS;
A. Three Phase Output available on certain models.
The rating is always shown in KVA (Kilo-Volt-Amp) and
power take-off can be through terminal strip or four wire
twist-lock receptacle.
B. Spark Arrestor Screen for certain engines only. This
USDA approved muffler screen will stop sparks from
leaving muffler and can be attached at any time.
CAUTION: This screen must be cleaned of carbon
particles every 50 hours of operation.
C. Part number “G1” is a Two Wheel Dolly and is in
knock-down kit form. It can be assembled in minutes
with the use of normal tools and will fit 5 KW through 15
KW
D. Part number “G2” is a crane pick-up lifting bracket
mounted on each end of carry roll cage. User must
furnish lifting chain and appropriate hooks, for lifting
gen-set.
"Kleen-Power" is a major and exclusive design of
your generator set. In the past, much attention was
given to generator features such as voltage
regulation or maintenance free "brushless"
generators. However, no consideration was given to
the most important electric power feature, "the wave-
form". Electric current is measured in hertz, the
international unit of frequency, and it equals 60 cycles
per second. A single cycle is called a wave-form and
is graphically displayed to show how clean, or
distortion free, electric power can be.
F. LOW OIL SHUT DOWN PROTECTION. All sets
have this feature and if oil level falls below safe level,
the engine will shutdown and will not start until proper
oil level is restored.
Starting battery for electric start generator
sets will be furnished by user. These starting
batteries vary in size and power output. Consult the
chart information found on battery base as attached
to each gen-set electric start for correct size battery
for your set. Most batteries are wet charged and
ready to use; but you may find a battery that is dry
charged and must have electrolyte acid installed.
CAUTION: If battery acid is ever required, battery

CAUTION: Always make sure that the
emergency electric power source produces no
more than 10% harmful harmonic wave-form
distortions or possible load damage (All electrical
loads: computers, TV, stereo, etc.) will result.

A typical commercial power
wave-form looks like this:
with wave-form distortion of
3% to 5% and is safe for
all electric loads.
Your Gillette generator
with "Kleen-Power" has
a wave-form like this:
with wave-form distortion of
6% to 7% and is safe for all
plugged-in electric loads.
A typical generator set
wave-form looks like this:
with wave-form distortion of
25% to 35% and is not
safe for any voltage
sensitive loads.
