60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring
up to 3,500 watts of power
(3.5 I<W)
at 14.6 Amps for 240Volts
or two independent
120Volt
loads at 14.6 Amps each.The
oudet
is protected
by

single-phase,
60 Hz electrical
loads
requiring
up to
1,750 watts
(1.75

COLD WEATHER
OPERATmON
Under
certain
weather
conditions
(temperatures
below
40°F 14°C] combined
with high humidity),
your generator
may experience

preferre&
see engine
manual).
4.
Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5.
Maintain generator
following "Maintenance
Schedule"
