Connecting Generator To Main Electrical
Supply
Potential hazards exist when a electrical generator is
connected to the main electrical supply coming into
the house. It is at that point that the generator could
feed back into the utility company's system causing
possible electrocution of workers who are repairing
electrical lines. To avoid back feeding of electricity into
utility systems, a double-throw transfer switch
should be installed between the generator and utility
power. This device should be installed by a licensed
electrician and in compliance with all local electrical
codes.
NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer
Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Always check engine oil level
before every start. Running
engine low of oil or out of oil could result in
serious damage to the engine.
Adding Engine Oil
Your generator has been shipped without oil in the
engine. Begin by removing the oil dipstick and plug.
Start pouring the oil in slowly.
The engine will hold approximately 26 ounces of oil. To
check the oil, clean and replace the dipstick. Do not
screw the dip stick in when checking the oil level. Next,
remove the dipstick to check the level. The oil dipstick
is clearly marked with lines that tell you when the
engine has enough oil. Do not fill above this point.
NOTE: When adding oil to the engine crankcase, use a
high quality detergent oil classified "For Service
SF,SG,SH" rated SAE 30 weight. Use no special additives.
Select the oil's viscosity grade according to your expected
operating temperatures.
Gasoline
Your generator engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel
only. Never mix oil with gasoline.
• Remove gas cap.
• Add unleaded gasoline, slowly, to fuel tank.
Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
