Equipment Description

Read this manual carefully and become
familiar with your outdoor generator. Know
its applications, its limitations, and any
hazards involved. Save these original
instructions for future reference.
The inverter generator is an engine-driven, revolving
field, alternating and direct current (AC & DC) generator.
The generator is designed to supply electrical power for
operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools
and motor loads. The generator's revolving field is driven
by a single-cylinder engine.
To move generator, press button and pull handle out.
Press button to push handle back in.
The portable generator can be used to power outdoor
items using an extension cord or to restore home power
using a transfer switch. A transfer switch is a separate
device installed by a licensed electrician that allows
the portable generator to be cord connected, using the
receptacle, directly into your home's electrical system.
Install a manual transfer switch as soon as possible if
generator will be used to provide home power restoration.
The generator is not intended to supply systems that are legally
required, for serious life safety or health hazards, or where lack
of power hampers rescue of fire-fighting operations.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information
in this manual is accurate and current. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter, or
otherwise improve the generator and this document at any
time without prior notice.
NOTICE If you have questions about intended use,
contact an authorized service dealer. This equipment is
designed to be used with Briggs & Stratton® authorized
parts ONLY.

System Ground

The generator has a system ground that connects the
generator frame components to the ground terminals
on the AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is
floating ( ), which means that the AC stator winding is
isolated from the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle
ground pins. Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring
a grounded neutral may not operate properly from this
generator. Earthing of the generator is not required.
Special Requirements
There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances
that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please
consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the
local agency having jurisdiction.
This generator is not intended to be used at a
construction site or similar activity.

batteries and electrical or electronic
equipment shall not dispose of this
product with unsorted municipal waste.
