Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enoughrated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items youwill power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the rated(running) watts of these items. This is theamount of poweryour generator must produceto keepyour items running. SeeWattage ReferenceGuide.

3. Estimatehow many surge (starting) watts you will need.Surge wattage is the short burst of power neededtostart electric motor-driven tools or appliancessuch as acircular saw or refrigerator. Becausenot all motors startat the sametime, total surge watts can be estimatedbyadding only the item(s) with the highest additional surgewatts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, itis important to take care when adding electrical loads to yourgenerator. There should be nothing connected to thegenerator outlets before starting its engine. The correct andsafe way to manage generator power is to sequentially addloads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator,start theengine as described in this manual.

2. Plug in andturn on the first load, preferably the largestload you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runssmoothly and attached deviceoperates properly).

4. Plug in andturn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeatsteps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

NEVERadd more loads than the generator capacity. Takespecial care to consider surge loads in generator capacity, asdescribed above.

General Recommendations

Regular maintenancewill improvethe performanceand extendthe life of the generator.Seeany authorizeddealer for service.

The generator's warranty does not cover items that havebeen subjected to operator abuse or negligence.To receivefull value from the warranty, the operator must maintain thegenerator as instructed in this manual.Some adjustments will needto be made periodically toproperly maintain your generator.

All service and adjustments should be made at least onceeach season. Follow the requirements in the MaintenanceSchedule chart above.

NOTICE Oncea year you should clean or replace the sparkplug and replacethe air filter. A new spark plug and clean airfilter assure proper fuel-air mixture and help your engine runbetter and last longer.

Emissions Control

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissionscontroldevices and systemsmay be performed by anynon-roadengine repair establishment or individual.However, to obtain "no charge" emissions control service,the work must be performed by a factory authorized dealer.Seethe Emissions Warranty.

GeneratorMaintenanceGenerator maintenanceconsists of keepingthe unit cleanand dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dryenvironment where it wiii not be exposedto excessive dust,dirt, moisture, or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots inthe generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves,or any other foreign material.

NOTICE DO NOTuse water or other liquids to cleangenerator. Liquids can enter engine fuel system, causingpoor performance and/or failure to occur, in addition, ifliquid enters generator through cooling air slots, some of theliquid will be retained in voids and cracks of the rotor andstator winding insulation. Liquid and dirt buildup on thegenerator internal windings will eventually decreasetheinsulation resistanceof these windings.

Cleaning

Dailyor before use, look around and underneaththe generatorfor signs of oil or fuel leaks.Cleanaccumulateddebris frominside and outside the generator. Keepthe linkage,spring andother enginecontrols clean. Keepthe areaaround and behindthe muffler free from any combustible debris, inspect coolingair slots and openings on generator.Theseopenings must bekept clean and unobstructed.

LookFor Relevant EmissionsDurability Periodand AirIndex information OnYour Small Off-Road EngineEmissionsLabel

Engines that are certified to meet the CaliforniaAirResourcesBoard (CARB)small off-road Emissions Standardmust display information regarding the Emissions DurabilityPeriodand the Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makesthisinformation available to the consumer on our emissionslabels. The engine emissions label will indicate certificationinformation.

The Emissions Durability Perioddescribes the number ofhours of actual running time for which the engine is certifiedto be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenanceinaccordancewith the Operating & Maintenance Instructions.The following categories are used:

Moderate:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hoursof actual engine running time.

Intermediate:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hoursof actual engine running time.

Extended:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hoursof actual engine running time.

For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to25 hours peryear. Therefore, the Emissions DurabilityPeriod of an engine with an intermediate rating wouldequate to 10 to 12 years. Briggs & Stratton engines arecertified to meet the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA)Phase2 emissions standards. For Phase2certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referredto on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the numberof operating hours for which the engine has beenshown tomeet Federalemissions requirements.
