Caution Statements  
Caution: The brass connecting tab on some 120VAC duplex receptacles have been removed. Each  
receptacle is powered by a separate generator winding. When replacing a receptacle, inspect  
the brass tab that normally links both receptacles. If it is removed, be sure to remove the  
brass tab from the replacement receptacle before it is installed. Failure to remove the tab will  
cause a direct short to the generator windings and cause possible generator damage.  
Caution: Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water  
or steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.  
Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust or  
generator failure over time.  
Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings (start the generator) in a moisturesaturated condition.  
Moisture can cause insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the generator to the  
factory for repair, and consequent expense and loss of time.  
Caution: Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts will  
assure continued safe operation as designed.  
Caution: Do not suspend the generator from the top handle during operation.  
Caution: Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce the  
correct voltage and output frequency.  
Caution: Never operate the engine without a muffler and spark arrestor. The engine is designed to  
have the correct exhaust components installed. Operating without these components can  
present a fire hazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine.  
Caution: Operate the generator only on a level surface. Operation of the generator on an incline or  
slope may degrade engine lubrication and result in engine failure.  
Caution: Always fill fuel tank with clean fresh fuel before use. Never leave fuel in tank for long storage  
periods. Old fuel becomes stale and can damage the fuel system causing the engine not to  
start. Always drain the fuel tank after use before storage.  
Caution: For electric start models, do not place the key switch in the start position when engine is  
running. This causes the starting motor to engage and may damage the starter and engine.

Physical Location  
Your generator is portable to go where the work is. To be safe, several factors must be considered:  
1. Keep extension cords as short as possible.  
2. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a flat, smooth,  
non-flammable level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation.  
3. The location for the generator must be dry. Never operate a generator in an area that  
has standing water or puddles.  
4. Prevent obstructions (buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc.). It is important that  
the unit be operated in a reasonably clean environment.  
5. All engines give off considerable heat when running. The engine in your generator set  
uses air to keep it cool so it is important that the ambient temperature is cool. Where  
natural ventilation is inadequate a fan to boost circulation should be used.  
WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never  
breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where  
ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and  
extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon  
monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or  
incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air  
immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if  
necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.  
6. Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Never  
operate an engine indoors.  
7. All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so  
will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a  
possible electrocution hazard.  
Installation  
The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped to  
you. External connections required at the time of installation are:  
1. Electrical Connections.  
2. Frame Ground Connection.  
Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the front panel using electrical cords with the proper  
mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the  
total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.  
WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician  
has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that  
connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric  
utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate  
the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating.  
Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility  
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.  
Use correct size insulated wire to connect the generator to the load. The gauge of the wire will  
depend on the distance to the load, the permissible voltage drop at the load, and the current  
required by the load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a  
competent electrician. Using wire that is too small can result in fire hazard. Also, be sure the  
wire has the appropriate ratings for insulation and environment conditions. Use only U.L.  
approved extension cords rated for outdoor use.

Frame Ground Connection  
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power  
before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal  
injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be  
connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of  
generator systems.  
The NEC requires that the frame and exposed metal surfaces be at local ground reference  
potential to avoid electrical shock hazard. A local ground reference may require a driven earth  
ground conductor at the generator installation site. Make the ground connection as shown in  
earth at least 8 feet.  
Figure 3-2 Frame Ground Connection  
Engine Oil  
The generator is shipped dry. This means no oil is in the engine crankcase and no fuel is in the  
fuel tank. Refer to section 5 of this manual for lubricant and fuel requirements and obtain the  
correct type and quantity of engine motor oil and fuel.  
1. Refer to section 5 of this manual and add the required amount of engine oil.  
2. Refer to section 5 of this manual and add the appropriate amount of fuel.  
After installation, the post installation checks must be performed prior to starting the engine.  
After these checks have been performed and the system operation is verified to be good, refer to  
Section 5 Maintenance for periodic checks that must be performed at scheduled intervals to  
ensure continued operation with minimal problems.

Battery Connections The generator is shipped with no battery installed.  
WARNING: Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel  
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away  
from batteries.  
WARNING: Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or  
battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently  
touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the  
ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance.  
WARNING: Do not mutilate the battery or dispose of a battery in a fire. The battery is capable of  
exploding. If the battery explodes, electrolyte solution will be released in all directions.  
Battery electrolyte solution is caustic and can cause severe burns and blindness. If  
electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush the area with water and seek medical  
attention quickly.  
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of electrical shock hazard and high short circuit current. Electrical  
shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Never wear jewelry, watch or any metal objects when  
in the area around the battery.  
The following precautions are to be followed when working on batteries:  
1. Remove watches, rings, necklaces and all other metal objects.  
2. Use tools with insulated handles.  
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.  
WARNING: The battery electrolyte is a dilute sulfuric acid that is harmful to the skin and eyes. It is  
electrically conductive and corrosive. If electrolyte contacts the skin, flush the area  
immediately with water and wash it off using soap and water. If electrolyte contacts the eyes,  
immediately flush the eye thoroughly with water and seek medical attention quickly.  
The following precautions are to be followed when working on batteries:  
1. Wear full eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) and protective clothing.  
2. Where electrolyte contacts the skin, flush the area immediately with water and wash it  
off using soap and water.  
3. Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately flush the eye thoroughly with water  
and seek medical attention quickly.  
4. Spilled electrolyte is to be washed down with an acid neutralizing agent. A common  
practice is to use a solution of one pound (500 grams) bicarbonate of soda to one  
gallon (four liters) of water. The bicarbonate solution is to be added until evidence of  
reaction (foaming) has ceased. The resulting liquid is to be flushed with water and the  
area dried.  
WARNING: A battery presents a risk of fire and explosion because they generate hydrogen gas.  
Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Never jump start a battery, smoke in the area around  
the battery or cause any spark to occur in the area around the battery.  
The following precautions are to be followed when working on batteries:  
1. Do not smoke when near batteries.  
2. Do not cause flame or spark in battery area.  
3. Discharge static electricity from body before touching batteries by first touching a  
grounded metal surface.  
WARNING: Disconnect the battery’s ground terminal before working in the vicinity of the battery or  
battery wires. Contact with the battery can result in electrical shock when a tool accidently  
touches the positive battery terminal or wire. The risk of such shock is reduced when the  
ground lead is removed during installation and maintenance.  
Procedure:  
The correct type battery must be installed in the battery compartment provided, see Table 3-1.  
Installation and servicing of batteries is to be performed or supervised by personnel  
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.  
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Use of Electric Motor Loads  
Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to keep them running.  
Some motors, particularly splitphase motors are very difficult to start and require 5 to 7 times  
more current to start them. Repulsioninduction type motors are the easiest to start and normally  
only require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them.  
Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to start them and  
keep them running. This is true whether they are the repulsioninduction type motor, capacitor  
type motor, or the splitphase type motor.  
Other factors that influence the amount of current needed to start a motor are:  
1. The type of load connected to the motor. If the electric motor is connected to a hard  
starting load such as an air compressor it will require more starting current. If the same  
electric motor is connected to a light load such as a heater or power saw it will require  
less starting current.  
2. The brand or design of the electric motor. The expected starting current for a  
particular size motor will vary depending on the brand of the electric motor as well as  
the type of electric motor (Split Phase, capacitor, Repulsioninduction type, etc.)  
3. The condition of the electric motor. A clean motor with free turning bearings will  
require less starting currents than a similar type motor that is dirty and the bearings are  
not as free turning as they used to be.

Voltage Drop in Extension Cords  
When a long electric extension cord is used to connect an appliance or tool to the generator, a  
certain amount of voltage drop or loss occurs in the extension cord which reduces the effective  
voltage available for the appliance or tool. Table 3-2 illustrates the approximate voltage loss  
to the generator.

WARNING: A battery presents a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is  
extremely explosive. Never jump start a battery, smoke in the area around the battery or  
cause any spark to occur in the area around the battery.  
However several safety precautions must be followed:  
S
When charging a large capacity battery or a totally discharged battery, excessive  
current may trip the DC breaker. If this happens, use a battery charger to charge the  
battery. The battery charger can be plugged into the generators AC output.  
S
An explosive hydrogen gas is given off by the battery (through the batteries vent holes)  
when it is charged. Do not allow a spark or open flame to be present during battery  
charging. Always turn off the generator before disconnecting the battery leads from the  
DC Output terminals to avoid a spark.  
S
The battery contains electrolyte solution which is caustic and can cause severe burns  
and blindness. If electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush the area with  
water and seek medical attention quickly. Never charge a battery that is low on water.  
The following precautions are to be followed when working on batteries:  
1. Wear full eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) and protective clothing.  
2. Where electrolyte contacts the skin, flush the area immediately with water and wash it  
off using soap and water.  
3. Where electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately flush the eye thoroughly with water  
and seek medical attention quickly.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance  
WARNING: Before cleaning, inspecting, repairing, refueling or performing any maintenance to the generator  
set, always be sure the engine has stopped and that all rotating parts have also stopped. After  
stopping, certain components are still extremely hot so be careful not to get burned.  
WARNING: Before servicing the generator set, be sure to disconnect the spark plug wires to prevent  
accidental engine rotation or starting.  
Maintenance  
The following are general maintenance recommendations. The engine must be stopped and all  
electrical load devices removed from the generator plugs or terminals before any maintenance is  
performed. The Maintenance Schedule is given in Table 5-1.  
General Checks  
1. Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Replace defective components immediately.  
2. Inspect and replace any fuel line that shows signs of deterioration.  
3. Inspect all fuel clamps to ensure they are tight and no leaks exist.  
4. Make sure the fuel cap fits snugly on the fuel tank and that the fuel tank does not leak.  
5. Inspect the condition of AC and DC terminals for damage and replace if damaged.  
6. Test all GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) receptacles daily by pressing the test  
button on the receptacle during operation. Ensure that the GFCI trips and and no  
voltage is present at the receptacle. Replace any GFCI receptacle that fails the test.  
7. Inspect the external wire cables (extension cords) and connectors used with the  
generator set for cuts, frayed insulation, or loose connections. Repair or replace any  
problems prior to using the unit.  
8. Inspect bolts and nuts for tightness. Vibration can cause nuts or bolts to loosen.  
9. Inspect the recoil starting rope for any damage and replace it if necessary.  
WARNING: Do not smoke near generator during operation or while refueling. Gasoline and diesel fuel are  
flammable and can cause fire, explosions, injury or death. Keep open flames away from unit.  
WARNING: Stop engine and allow engine to cool before refueling. Gasoline and diesel fuel are flammable  
and can cause fire, explosions, injury or death.  
Check Fuel Level  
1. Remove fuel filler cap.  
ꢀRed" marking  
2. Fuel level should be at or below the ꢀRed" marking at inlet portion of filler neck.  
3. If fuel level is low, add unleaded automotive gasoline to just below the ꢀRed" marking.  
Fuel tank capacity is: PC32Ri 2.8 gallons (10.8 liters); PC43Ri 3.3 gallons (12.8 liters).  
4. Install the fuel filler cap. Wipe up any fuel spill.  
Check Oil Level  
(SE or higher grade) SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 (Left side cover)  
1. Remove oil filler cap and check the oil for contaminants (moisture or excessive dirt).  
2. Change the oil if contaminated.  
3. Clean the dip stick and fully insert it into oil and remove to check the oil level. Do not screw the filler cap in  
Upper Level  
Lower Level  
when checking the oil level.  
4. If oil is below lower level on dip stick, add oil to bring oil to the upper level. Check for oil leaks.  
5. Install and tighten the oil filler cap.  
Change Engine Oil (SE or higher grade) SAE 10W30 or SAE 10W40 (Left side cover)  
1. If the engine is cold, start the engine and let it run for 1 minute. This will warm the oil to make it easier to  
drain. If engine is hot, allow it to cool. Hot engine oil can cause severe burns. Always wear protective  
clothing and eye protection when working on engine.  
2. Drain oil by removing the drain plug and catch the used oil in a pan or tray. Remove the oil filler cap to let  
oil flow out quicker. The generator is shown raised using lumber so the pan can slide under.  
3. When oil is drained, install and tighten the drain plug.  
4. Fill the crankcase with clean oil until the oil level reaches the upper level on the filler cap.  
Oil capacity is: PC32Ri 0.63 quart (0.6 liters); PC43Ri 1.0 quart (1.0 liters).  
5. Check for oil leaks.  
Check Air Cleaner (Left side cover)  
1. Unhook the air filter cover and remove the elements.  
2. Clean the paper element by gently tapping the element to remove dirt and contaminants. Blow off dust  
and remaining dirt from the element. Replace the element if torn or extremely dirty. Replace every 200  
hours or once each year.  
3. Wash the urethane element with fresh water. Squeeze (do not twist) the water out and let air dry.  
4. Install the elements and hook the cover.

4. Install spark arrester in muffler and secure with screw.  
5. Install muffler cover and secure with flange bolts.  
Cleaning  
Keeping the generator clean is an important part of good operation. If dirt buildup is not  
removed, the generator will run hotter than normal and it’s life is reduced. The following are  
general guidelines for cleaning.  
1. Clean the generator set and remove any and all dust, dirt, or other foreign material.  
2. Inspect and clean the cooling air intake and exhaust louvers of the generator end.  
Make sure they are clean. Remove dirt or any buildup that may restrict the cooling air  
flow.  
3. Clean the generator set and its components with a damp cloth or sponge.  
Never use a water hose or pressure washer as this may damage electrical  
components.  
4. Inspect and replace any control panel components that are broken or not working  
properly (receptacles, circuit breakers, switches, etc.)  
5. Inspect and clean all governor and carburetor linkages so they operate properly.

Voltage Variations This generator set must be run at its proper speed to obtain the correct electrical power at its  
output. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The engine  
governor is designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the  
electrical load is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and engine speed drops slightly.  
This slight decrease in engine speed results in a slight decrease in generator voltage and  
frequency output. This voltage and frequency variation has no appreciable effect in the operation  
of motors, lights, and most appliances and tools. However, timing devices and clocks will not  
keep perfect time when used on this generator.  
Reduced voltage to the load can also be caused by using the wrong extension cord. Small  
diameter wire will have a voltage drop across the cord when current flows through the wire. This  
voltage drop can be very significant over long cord lengths. Always use the proper wire size  
(gauge wire size) for the extension cord to minimize the voltage drop at rated current draw.  
Problems and Solutions  
Some of the more common problems are listed in Table 5-2. This information is intended to be a  
for all types of problems.

Check for continuity in windings. Return to factory for repair if open.  
Check/replace diode and capacitor and flash the field.  
Output voltage varies  
Irregular speed (fixed speed mode)  
Fluctuating speed (fixed speed mode)  
Check engine for malfunction or load for fluctuation  
Stabilize load. The addition of a lamp load (resistance load) may  
compensate partially for load changes caused by intermittent motor  
operation. Do not overload.  
Loose terminal or load connections  
Defective bearing (uneven air gap)  
Verify all connections are proper and check tighness torque of  
terminals.  
Replace worn bearing  
Low output voltage  
Low engine speed  
Excessive load  
High resistance connections −  
connections will be warm or hot  
Check that the Auto Idle switch is in OFF position.  
Check engine for malfunction or system for overload. Reduce load.

terminals.  
Test field coils for possible short by checking resistance with an  
ohmmeter or resistancebridge. Return rotor assembly to factory  
forrepair if alternator field coils are shorted.  
Shorted field  
Reduce inductive (motor) load. Some AC motors use about the  
same current regardless of load. Do not use motors of greater  
horsepower rating than is necessary to move the mechanical load.  
Low power factor  
High output voltage  
Excessive speed (fixed speed mode)  
Check engine for malfunction  
Electrical shock when frame is touched  
Static charge.

Storage  
If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you  
should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please  
follow this procedure prior to storing the unit. This will help to ensure that the generator will start  
and provide good service when it is removed from storage.  
1. Remove fuel filler cap.  
2. Use a siphon pump to remove all fuel from fuel tank.  
3. Install fuel filler cap.  
4. Start the generator set and allow it to run out of fuel.  
5. Place the Engine Switch in “Stop” position. This closes the fuel valve.  
6. Drain the used oil from the engine’s crankcase and refill it with clean oil.  
7. Remove the spark plug and pour 1 oz. of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Put a rag  
over the spark plug port and turn the engine over approximately 5 times to distribute  
the oil in the cylinder.  
8. Install the spark plug but do not connect the plug wire. This will help prevent accidental  
or unauthorized starting.  
9. Provide maintenance to the engine and generator set as described in this section.  
10. Inspect bolts and nuts for tightness. Vibration can cause nuts or bolts to loosen.  
11. Inspect the recoil starting rope for any damage and replace it if necessary.  
12. Cover any bare metal spots with paint or another type of rust preventative.
