Inadequate electrical grounding of gen- erator. WHAT COULD HAPPEN Back feeding electricity through a building's electrical system to the outside utility feed lines could en= danger repair persons attempting to restore service. Attempting to connect to the incoming utility service could result in electrocu- tion. Restoration of electrical service while the generator is connected to the in- coming utility could result in a fire or serious damage if a isolator switch is not installed. The failure of one of the generator's electrical devices, a broken wire, wet surfaces, etc. could result in the entire unit becoming electrically charged. Contact with electrically charged surfaces could result in electrocution. HOW TO PREVENT UT Never back feed electricity through a structure's electrical system. To connect to a structure's electrical system in a safe manner and always have a Double-Throw Transfer Switch installed by a qualified electrician, in compliance with local ordinances. (When installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.} Make sure that the unit is connected to an appropriate electrical ground, _naccordance with the requirement of the National Electric Code. See page 8 for grounding instructions. 3 -- ENG

AND FBRE ={cont'd} HAZARD Operation of generator in rain, wet, icy, or flooded conditions. Use of worn damaged, undersized or un- grounded extension cords. Placing generator on or against highly conductive surface, such as a steel walkway or metal roof. Improper connection of items to gen- erator. Operation of unit when damaged, orwith guards or panels removed. WHAT COULD HAPPEN Water is an excellent conductor of electricity! Water which comes in contact with electricity charged components can transmit electricity to the frame and other surfaces, resulting in electrical shock to anyone contact- ing them. Contact with worn or damaged exten- sion cords could result in electrocution. Use of undersize extension cords could result in overheating of the wires or at- tached items, resulting in fire. Use of ungrounded cordsets could pre- vent operation of circuit breakers and result in electrical shock. Accidental leakage of electrical current could charge conductive surfaces in contact with the generator. Exceeding the load capacity of the gen- erator by attaching too many items, or items with very high load ratings to it could result in overheating of some items or their attachment wiring result- ing in fire or electrical shock. Attempting to use the unit when it has been damaged, or when it is not func- tioning normally could result in fire or electrocution. Removal of guarding could expose elec= trically charged components and result in electrocution. HOW TO PRI:VENT iT Operate generator in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Make sure hands are dry before touching unit. Inspect extension cords before use and replace with new if required. Use proper size (wire gauge) cordset for application. Always use electrically grounded cordset. Place generator on low conductivity surface such as a concrete slab. Read the load rating chart and in- structions on page 9, 10 and 11. Make sure that the summation of electrical loads for all attachments does not exceed the load rating of the generator. Do not operate generator with me- chanical or electrical problem. Have unit repaired by an Authorized Ser- vice Center. Do not operate generator with pro- tective guarding removed. 4 i ENG

engine is running. Sparks, fire, hot objects Improper storage of fuel Inadequate ventilation for generator Tampering with factory set engine speed settings. Overfilling the fuel tank - fuel spillage. WHAT COULD HAPPEN Gasoline and gasoline vapors can become ignited by coming in contact with hot components such as the muffler, engine exhaust gases, or from an electrical spark. Cigarettes, sparks, fires, or other hot objects can cause gasoline or gasoline vapors to ignite. Improperly stored fuel could lead to ac- cidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get into the hands of children or other unqualified persons. Materials placed against or near the gen- erator or operating the generator in ar- eas where the temperature exceeds 104° R ambient can interfere with its proper ventilation features causing overheating and possible ignition of the materials. Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could re- suet in overheating of attachments and could cause a fire. Spilled fuel and its vapors can become ignited from hot surfaces or sparks. HOW TO PREVENTUT Turn engine off and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank. Equip area of operation with a fire extin- guisher certified to handle gasoline or fuel fires. Add fuel to tank in well ventilated area. Make sure there are no sources of ignition near the generator. Store fuel in a container designed to hold gasoline. Store container in se- cure location to prevent use by oth- ers. g_ln a_ well ventilated area a minimum of four feet from any objects or wall. DO NOT OPERATE UNtT INDOORS OR IN ANY CONFINED AREA. Never attempt to "speedup" the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and fre- quency will be thrown out of stan- dard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user. Use care in filling the tank to avoid spilling fuel. Make sure fuel cap is secured tightly and check engine for fuel leaks before starting engine. Move generator away from refueling area or any spillage before starting engine. Allow for fuel expansion. Keep maximum fuel level % inch below the tip of the fuel tank. Never refuel with the engine running. 5 -- ENG

You should observe the following to prevent overloading the unit: Starting and running wattage requirements must be calculated to match your generator wattage capacity. Resistive load appliances such as light bulbs, TV's and microwaves, have the same starting and running wattage. The wattage used for calculating the capacity can usually be found on each of these appliances. Some inductive appliances and tools wiii iist on the motor name plate, the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: _Volts X Amp = Watts} Inductive load appliances and tools such as refrigerators, air compressors and washers require approximately 2 to 4 times the listed running wattage for starting the equip- ment. This initial load only lasts for a few seconds on start-up but is very important when figuring your total wattage to be used. NOTE: Always start your largest electric motor first, and then plug in other items, one at a time. The guide below is provided to assist you in determining the appliances and tools that can be ran with the wattage capacity of your generator. 10 -- ENG

form a generator: Use of extension cords directly form the generator to the appiiance, iights, toois, etc. Use of a doubie-throw transfer switch instaiied directly to the main eHectrbaHsuppiy outside of the house. Extension Cord When using an appliance or tool at a considerable distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3- blade grounding plug and 3-dot receptacle that accepts the tool's plug should be used. A cord of adequate size must be used. A minimum of 12 gauge wire size with at least a 20 amp draw can be used. When amperage exceeds 20 amps a 10 gauge wire size should be used. Connecting Generator To Main Eleetrieam SuppJy Potenfiai hazards exist when a eiectricai generator is con- nected to the main eiectricai suppiy coming into the house. It is at that point that the generator couid feed back into the utiiity company's system causing possibie eiectrocution of workers who are repairing electrical lines. To avoid back feeding of electricity into utility systems, a double-threw transfer switch should be installed between the genera- tor and utility power. This device should be installed by a licensed electrician and in compliance with all local electri- cal codes. NOTE: When installing a Double-ThrowTransfer Switch, a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used. CHARGBNG A BATTERY iMPORTANT: Always use safety glasses, rubber gloves and protective clothing while charging battery. Your generator has the capability of recharging a 12-volt storage or automotive battery. To recharge a 12-volt battery, proceed as follows: First, check the fluid level in all of the battery cells. Add distilled water if necessary. Do not use tap water, Clean battery posts if necessary. Connect battery charge canes to panel receptacle Start the engine. Let it run while the battery charges.

combustible debris. Clean and Replace Spark Plug Change the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes firsL This will help your engine to start easier and run better. RESISTOR Carburetor The carburetor of your generator is pre-set at the factory. The carburetor should not be tampered with. if your gen- erator is used at an altitude in excess of 4000 feet perfor- mance may be affected. If so consult with your nearest Sears Service Center regarding high altitude set changes. GovePnoP Your engine governor maintains the constant operating speed of your generator. DO NOT tamper with the engine governor which is factory set for proper engine speed. Over-speeding your engine above factory high speed set- ting can be dangerous and couUd possibly cause personal injury or property damage. If you believe the engine is run- ning too fast or slow, take your generator to a Authorized Sears Service Center for repair and adjustment. CAUTION: Low engine speeds impose a heavy load on the engine and when sufficient power is not avail- able the engine life could be shorten. If you are going to store your generator for more than 30 days, use the following information as a guide to prepare the generator for storage. STORAGE BNSTRUCTBONS CAUTION: Never store generator with fuel in the tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas, where fumes can reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater clothes dryer or other gas appliances. Engine Preparation Add fuel stabilizer to fuel tank to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Run engine at bast 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to enter the fuel system. Next shut off engine. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove the spark plug. Add one teaspoon of oii through the spark piug hob. Place rag over spark plug hole and pull the recoil a few times to lubricate the combustion chamber. Replace the spark plug, but do not connect the spark plug wire. NOTE: If a fuel stabilizer is not used, all gasoline must be drained from the tank and carburetor to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of the engine.
