Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your outdoor generator. Know its applications,
its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save
these instructions for future reference.
The outdoor generator is an engine-driven, revolving field,
alternating current (AC) generator equipped with a voltage
regulator. The generator is designed to supply electrical power
for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools
and motor loads. The voltage regulator within the generator is
designed to automatically maintain output voltage level.
The portable generator produces power that can be used for
outdoor items using extension cords or for first time temporary
home power restoration. Before your next home power outage,
install a listed 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 locking receptacle,
directly into your home's electrical system. Extension cords
connected to the portable generator's control panel are not
intended to be a long term solution when connected to items
inside your home.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this
manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer
reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the
generator and this documentation 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.
This spark ignition system complies with the Canadian
standard ICES-002.
System Ground
The generator has a system ground that connects the generator
frame components to the ground terminals on the AC output
receptacles. The system ground is connected to the AC neutral
wire (the neutral is bonded to the generator frame).
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State 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 as defined by NFPA 70-2014 (NEC)
section 590.6.
