GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER (GFCI)

PROTECTION

Some jobsites and local codes may require GFCI

protection for personnel before operation of your generator. If

your generator is not already equipped with a GFCI

receptacle, GFCI In-line cord sets may be purchased from

your local electrical supply store or home builder appliance

store.

These cord sets are available in various plug and

amperage configurations. (Make sure your generator is

properly Grounded.)

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electric Code requires that this product be

properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help

prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the

frame of the generator has been provided for this purpose.

Connecting a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper

wire between the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod

driven into the ground should provide a suitable ground

connection. However, consult with a local electrician to insure

that local codes are being adhered to.

LUBRICATION

DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the

crank case with the proper amount and type of oil. Your

generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the

crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the

engine.

Fill the engine with oil according to the operator manual.

For units with a dipstick, fill oil to the proper level. Units

without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening of

the oil fill.

LOW OIL SENSOR

The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil level

becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a

warning device or stop the engine.

If generator shuts off and the oil level is within

specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle

that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this.

If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to

deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is

completely full of oil.

LP GAS TANK

• Regulator inlet pressure range: 30 to 100 psi from LP

Gas tank.

• LP Gas tank: Standard 20 or 30 pound capacity with

Type 1 right hand Acme threads. Do not use tanks that

are rusted or damaged. Verify that the re-qualification

dated on the tank is not expired. Use only DOT cylinders

conforming to 4BA, 4BW, and 4E.

• Purging LP Gas tanks: The purging process should be

done by your LP Gas supplier. New tanks must be purged

of air and moisture before filling. Used cylinders must

also be purged if they have not been plugged or kept

closed.

• Remove the safety plug or cap from the tank fuel valve.

• Never allow children to tamper or play with the fuel tank

or generator.

GROUND TERMINAL LOCATION:

BEFORE OPERATION

Do not use a pipe carrying combustible material as

the ground source.

Ground

Terminal

• Do not use or store LP Gas tank in a

building, garage or enclosed area except as

authorized by NFPA 58 or CSA B149.2

(Canada).

• Do not check for leaks with a match or

flame.

• The LP Gas tank valve should be OFF

(closed) when the generator is not in use.

Contact with the liquid contents of the LP Gas tank

will cause freeze burns to the skin.
