During Generator Use
If circuit breaker trips during use, it usually indicates faulty
electrical equipment or cords. However, test the circuit
breaker as follows;
1. Disconnect loads, reset and test circuit breaker as
described earlier. Let generator run without any loads
for 1 minute.
CAUTION
If circuit breaker trips in the 1 minute period:
• DO NOT use generator.
• Call a Briggs & Stratton Power Products service center.
2. If circuit breaker tests correctly, the electrical equipment
or extension cords may be faulty. Replace faulty
electrical equipment and cords before further use.
CAUTION
If circuit breaker tests correctly:
• Have qualified personnel check all electrical equipment and
cords for any defects.
• Replace electrical equipment and cords or take to a qualified
repair center.
WARNING

• DO NOT use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.

Battery Charger
Use battery float charger jack to keep the starting battery
charged and ready for use. Battery charging should be done in a
dry location, such as inside a garage.
1. Plug charger into unit's "Battery Float Charger" jack,
which is located next to the start switch. Plug battery
charger into a 120 Volt AC wall receptacle.
2. Unplug charger from unit and wall outlet when generator
is being started and while it is in operation.
3. Keep this charger plugged in when generator is not in
use to prolong battery life. The charger has a built in
float equalizer and will not overcharge the battery, even
when plugged in for an extended period of time.
IMPORTANT: See Battery Maintenance for additional
information.
