GENERATOR

PRECAUTIONS

Set Up:

Do not connect the Generator directly1.

into a home’s utility electrical line. Do

not plug this Generator into an outlet

in the home. Connecting a generator

directly to a utility power supply can

“back feed” along the power lines and

kill or injure utility workers working on

the lines.

All connections and conduits from2.

the Generator to the load must only

be installed by trained and licensed

electricians, and in compliance with

all relevant local, state, and federal

electrical codes and standards, and

other regulations where applicable.

The Generator must be earth-ground-3.

ed in accordance with all relevant

electrical codes and standards before

operation.

A 10-gauge copper wire should be•

used to connect the ground termi-

nal of the Generator to a grounding

rod. A wire that is too thin may not

provide sufcient electrical current

carrying capacity to be an adequate

ground path.

The other end of the ground wire•

must be securely fastened to an

approved ground source. Refer to

local regulations for ground source

information. If unsure of regulations

or procedures, obtain assistance

from a licensed or certied electri-

cian.

Insulate all connections and discon-4.

nected wires.

SKU 66523 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7

Connect the Generator only to a load5.

or electrical system (120 VAC or

12 VDC) that is compatible with the

electrical characteristics and rated

capacities of the Generator.

Set up the Generator outdoors in a6.

well-ventilated, dry area, away from

building air intakes. The Genera-

tor should be protected from direct

exposure to rain and snow. Do not

set up the Generator on a conductive

surface such as a metal deck.

Operation:

Do not attempt to connect or discon-1.

nect load connections while standing

in water, or on wet or soggy ground.

Do not touch electrically energized2.

parts of the Generator and intercon-

necting cables or conductors with any

part of the body, or with any

non-insulated conductive object.

Use only Class BC or Class ABC re 3.

extinguishers on electrical res.

Do not overload the Generator.4.

Overloading can cause res in the

electrical cords, in addition to Gen-

erator and appliance damage.

Service:

Keep all electrical equipment clean1.

and dry. Replace any wiring where

the insulation is cracked, cut, abrad-

ed, or otherwise degraded. Replace

terminals that are worn, discolored, or

corroded. Keep terminals clean and

tight.

this Generator’s Engine is warranted for

standards set by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency and by the California Air

Resources Board (also known as CARB).

For warranty information, refer to the last

pages of this manual.

At high altitudes, the engine’s carbu-

retor, governor, and any other parts that

control the fuel-air ratio will need to be

adjusted by a qualied mechanic to allow

efcient high-altitude use and to prevent

damage to the engine and any other de-

vices used with this product.

UNPACKING

When unpacking, check to make sure

that the item is intact and undamaged. If

any parts are missing or broken, please

call Harbor Freight Tools at the number

subheadings therein before set

up or use of this product.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY:

Operate only with proper spark

arrestor installed. Operation of

this equipment may create

sparks that can start res

around dry vegetation.

The operator should contact

local re agencies for laws or

regulations relating to re

prevention requirements.

Note: For additional information regarding

the parts listed in the following pages,

refer to the Assembly Diagram near

the end of this manual.

Starting the Engine

Inspect the Generator looking

for damaged, loose, and

missing parts before set up and

starting. If any problems are

found, do not use the machine

until properly repaired.

Checking and Filling Engine Oil:

CAUTION! Your Warranty is VOID if the

Engine’s Crankcase is not properly

lled with oil before each use. Before

each use, check the oil level. Do not

run the Engine with low or no engine

oil. Running the Engine with no or

low engine oil WILL permanently

damage the Engine.

Remove the Engine’s Dipstick and1.

wipe it off with a clean rag.

(See Figure A.)

Reinsert the Dipstick completely2.

(but do not screw it in) and remove

it to check the oil level. The oil level

should be between the HIGH and

LOW marks on the Dipstick.

(See Figure A.) Note: Inspect the

O-Ring at the neck of the Dipstick. If

cracked, torn or damaged it must be

replaced.

If the oil level is below the low mark3.

add the appropriate type of oil until

the oil level is between the high and

the low marks.

Oil type and capacity:

SAE 10W-30 / 13.5 Ounces

Replace the Oil Dipstick.4.

(See Figure A.)

CAUTION! Do not run the Engine with too

little or too much oil. The Engine will

be permanently damaged.

WARNING! TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY FROM

FIRE:

Fill the Fuel Tank (20) in a

well-ventilated area away from igni-

tion or spark sources. Do not smoke.

To ll the Fuel Tank (20), rst wipe off 2.

the Fuel Tank Cap (14) and the sur-

rounding area. (See Figure B.)

Unscrew, and remove the Fuel Tank3.

Cap (14). (See Figure B.)

Remove the Filter Basket (19) and4.

remove any dirt and debris. Then

replace the Filter Basket.

(See Figure B.)

Fill the Fuel Tank (20) to about 1 inch5.

under the ll neck of the Tank with the

unleaded gasoline mixture.

(See Figure B.)

Then replace the Fuel Tank Cap (14).6.

(See Figure B.)

Start Procedure:

Before starting the Engine:

Inspect the equipment and En-a.

gine.

Fill the Engine with the properb.

amount and type of fuel and oil.

(See Figures A and B.)

NOTE: Only after the Genera-c.

tor has stabilized and is running

smoothly should an appliance

or tool be plugged into the AC

Outlet of the Generator.

Turn the Engine Fuel Lever to its “ON” 1.

position. (See Figure C.)

Turn the Engine Choke Lever to its2.

“CHOKE” position. Set the Choke Le-

the Engine to stabilize.

Break-in Period:

Breaking-in the Engine will help to1.

ensure proper equipment and Engine

operation, and will extend the En-

gine’s lifespan. The warranty is void

if the Engine is not broken in properly.

The rst 25 hours of operation is the

break-in period.

During this time frame, DO NOT•

exceed 75% of the Generator’s load

limit. In other words, the maximum

load during this break-in period

should be no more than 700 watts.

After the rst 25 hours of use:•

Change the engine oil.•

Under normal operating conditions

subsequent maintenance follows the

schedule explained in the MAINTE-

NANCE AND SERVICING section.

Equipment Operation

Load And Circuit Breakers:

The total combined load through any1.

combination of outlets on the Genera-

tor must not exceed the rated power

(1300 watts peak; or 1,000 watts

rated) of the unit.

Always reduce the load if the AC2.
