Gasoline and Oil
5
This product requires oil and fuel. Attempting to start the engine without oil
will ruin the engine and void the warranty. Work in a well-ventilated area.
Keep cigarettes, flames or sparks away from the work area or where gasoline
is stored.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. YOU
COULD BE BURNED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED IF THE GASOLINE
IS IGNITED.
•Before refueling, stop the engine and keep heat, sparks and flame away.
•Handle fuel only outdoors.
•Do not fill the fuel tank above the upper limit line.
•Wipe up fuel and oil spills immediately.
•Gasoline and its fumes are flammable and potentially explosive. Use
proper fuel storage and handling procedures. ALWAYS HAVE
MULTIPLE ABC CLASS FIRE EXTINGUISHERS HANDY.
•KEEP THE GENERATOR AND SURROUNDING AREA CLEAN AT
ALL TIMES. Dispose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local,
state, or federal codes and regulations. Store oily rags in a covered metal
container.
•NEVER STORE FUEL OR OTHER FLAMMABE MATERIALS NEAR
THE GENERATOR.
•Do not smoke or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around
the engine and fuel tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
•Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed,
live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These
events could ignite fumes or vapors.
•Do not refill the fuel tank while the engine is running or while the engine
is still hot. Do not operate the generator with known leaks in the fuel
system.
•Excessive buildup of unburned fuel or gases in the exhaust system can
create a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after
repeated failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If
this occurs, open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the
gases to dissipate before attempting to restart the generator.
•Only use engine oil and fuel recommended by manufacturer.
Hot Components
WARNING! ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS BECOME
VERY HOT AND REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE
ENGINE HAS STOPPED. WEAR INSULATED GLOVES OR WAIT
UNTIL THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE COOLED
BEFORE HANDLING THE PARTS.
Electrical Safety
6
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user in the event of an electrical malfunction.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug, where one blade is
wider than the other. This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Do not abuse the power cord for your tools or equipment. Keep power cords
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power
cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
Connect the generator only to a load or electrical system (120 volt) that is
compatible with the electrical characteristics and rated capacities of the
generator.
Before servicing equipment powered by the generator, disconnect the
equipment from its power input.
Insulate all connections and disconnected wires.
Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

IMPROPER CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING CAN ALLOW
ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO BACK FEED INTO UTILITY LINES,
CREATING AN ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.
•CONNECTIONS TO A BUILDING MUST ISOLATE THE
GENERATOR POWER FROM UTILITY POWER AND COMPLY
WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND ELECTRICAL CODES.
•All connections and conduits from 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-grounded for fixed installations in
accordance with all relevant electrical codes and standards before
operation.
THE GENERATOR IS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK IF NOT KEPT DRY.
•DO NOT EXPOSE THE GENERATOR TO MOISTURE, RAIN OR
SNOW. Water entering a generator will increase the risk of electric
shock.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE GENERATOR WITH WET HANDS.
•Do not attempt to connect or disconnect load connections while standing
in water, or on wet or soggy ground.
•Do not touch electrically energized parts of the generator and
interconnecting cables or conductors with any part of the body, or with
any non-insulated conductive object.
•Keep all electrical equipment clean and dry. Replace any wiring where
the insulation is cracked, cut abraded or otherwise degraded. Replace
terminals that are worn, discolored, or corroded. Keep terminals clean
and tight.
Power Output
This generator is not designed to power sensitive electronic equipment (such
as computers, mobile phones, medical devices and the like) without the
addition of an approved line conditioner, which is sold separately.
ATTEMPTING TO POWER SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF AN APPROVED LINE
CONDITIONER MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
NEITHER TILLOTSON POWER PRODUCTS LLC NOR ANY OF ITS
AFFILIATES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR
INDIRECT DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO USE AN
APPROVED LINE CONDITIONER.
Work Area
8
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Generators create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a generator.
Provide barriers or shields as needs.
Personal Safety
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
a generator. Do not use generator while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating generators
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF”
position and disconnect the spark plug wire when not in use.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the generator on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the generator may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI approved
safety impact eye goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not force the generator. Use the correct generator for your application.
The correct generator will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use the generator if the power switch does not turn it off. Any
generator that cannot be controlled with the power switch is dangerous and
must be replaced.
Generator Use and Care
9
Make sure the power switch is in its “OFF” position and disconnect the spark
plug wire before making any adjustment, changing accessories, or storing the
generator. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
generator accidentally.
Store idle generators out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Generators are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain generators with care. Do not use a damaged generator. Tag damaged
generators “Do not use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any
other condition that may affect the generator’s operation. If damaged, have
the generator serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained generators.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one generator may become
hazardous when used on another generator.
Servicing
Maintain labels and nameplates on the generator and engine. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact the service number
on the front page of this manual or Tillotson Power Products LLC
immediately for a replacement.
Generator service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
When servicing a generator, use only identical replacement parts. Follow all
appropriate instructions in this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

WARNING! PEOPLE WITH PACEMAKERS SHOULD CONSULT
THEIR PHYSICIAN(S) BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A
HEART PACEMAKER COULD CAUSE INTERFERENCE TO OR
FAILURE OF THE PACEMAKER.
Installation
10
Ensure installation meets all applicable safety, local and national electrical
codes. Have installation performed by a qualified, licensed electrician and
building contractor.
All electrical work, including the earth-ground connection, should be
completed by a licensed electrician.
Any separate fuel storage or generator supply facility must be built or
installed in full compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal
regulations.
It is recommended to use the generator only in well-ventilated, outdoor
areas. A running gasoline engine will generate carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless gas that, if inhaled, can cause serious injury or death.
If the generator is installed indoors, exhaust fumes must be piped out of the
building using leak-free, heat resistant piping. Pipes and silencer should not
use any flammable materials, nor should they be installed near the same.
Generator exhaust fumes must be within legal limits and installation must
always meet local building codes.
If the generator is installed outdoors, it must be weatherproofed and should be
soundproofed. It should not be run outdoors without protection to the
generator and wiring conduit.
Before lifting the generator, ensure the lift rigging and supporting structure
are in good condition, and are rated to lift such a load.
Keep all personnel away from the suspended generator during relocating.
The supporting floor/ground surface should be level and strong enough to
safely hold the weight of the generator. If the floor/grounded surface is not
level, strong cross members should be placed under the full length of the
generator frame at its low side.
For trailer installation, the generator should be mounted on the center point of
the trailer, over the wheels. The trailer must be capable of supporting the
weight of the generator and all contents (tools, etc.).
Install sound-and weatherproofing only when it is not raining or snowing to
avoid trapping moisture within the generator’s area.
