could result in a hazardous situation.  
If the plugged in product operates  
abnormally or unusually slow,  
immediately stop using the generator  
as a power source. Always read and  
adhere to the instruction manual of the  
product to be powered, to make sure that  
it can be safely and efficiently powered

15. Do not operate the equipment with  
known leaks in the engine’s fuel system.  
note: When using a generator to  
provide home standby electricity, a  
transfer switch (sold separately) is  
needed to prevent back feeding power  
into the utility line.  
16. This product contains or, when used,  
produces a chemical known to the State  
of California to cause cancer and birth  
defects or other reproductive harm.  
(California Health & Safety Code §  
25249.5, et seq.)  
Connections for standby power to a  
building electrical system must be made  
by a qualified electrician. The connection  
must isolate the generator power from  
utility power, and must comply with all  
applicable laws and electrical codes.  
17. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must  
be cleaned up immediately. Dispose  
of fluids and cleaning materials as per  
any local, state, or federal codes and  
regulations. Store oil rags in a bottom-  
ventilated, covered, metal container.  
WARning: Improper connections to  
a building electrical system can allow  
electrical current from the generator  
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such  
backfeed may electrocute utility company  
workers or others who contact the  
lines during a power outage, and the  
generator may explode, burn, or cause  
fires when utility power is restored.  
Consult the utility company or a qualified  
electrician.  
18. Keep hands and feet away from moving  
parts. Do not reach over or across

Ac ApplicATions  
3.  
Do not alter or adjust any part of the  
equipment or its engine that is sealed  
by the manufacturer or distributor.  
Only a qualified service technician  
may adjust parts that may increase or  
decrease governed engine speed.  
1.  
2.  
Before connecting an appliance or  
power cord to the generator: Make sure  
that it is in good working order. Faulty  
appliances or power cords can create a  
potential for electrical shock.  
4.  
5.  
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,  
heavy-duty work gloves, and dust mask/  
respirator during service.  
If an appliance begins to operate  
abnormally, becomes sluggish or  
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.  
Disconnect the appliance, and determine  
whether the problem is the appliance, or  
if the rated load capacity of the generator  
has been exceeded.  
Maintain labels and nameplates on  
the equipment. These carry important  
information. If unreadable or missing,  
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a  
replacement.  
3.  
4.  
Make sure that the electrical rating of  
the tool or appliance does not exceed  
that of the generator. Never exceed the  
maximum power rating of the generator.  
Power levels between rated and  
maximum may be used for no more than  
30 minutes.  
6.  
Have the equipment serviced by a  
qualified repair person using only  
identical replacement parts. This will  
ensure that the safety of the equipment  
is maintained. Do not attempt any  
service or maintenance procedures  
not explained in this manual or any  
procedures that you are uncertain about  
your ability to perform safely or correctly.  
Substantial overloading will open the  
circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit  
for maximum power operation or slightly  
overloading the generator may not switch  
the circuit breaker or circuit protector  
OFF, but will shorten the service life of  
the generator.

5. If you are using one extension cord  
for more than one tool, add the  
nameplate amperes and use the sum  
to determine the required minimum  
cord size.  
Extension cords  
1. Grounded tools require a three wire  
extension cord. Double Insulated  
tools can use either a two or three  
wire extension cord.  
(see Table A.)  
2. As the distance from the supply  
outlet increases, you must use a  
heavier gauge extension cord. Using  
extension cords with inadequately  
sized wire causes a serious drop in  
voltage, resulting in loss of power and  
possible tool damage.  
6. If you are using an extension cord  
outdoors, make sure it is marked with  
the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to  
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor  
use.  
7. Make sure the extension cord is  
properly wired and in good electrical  
condition. Always replace a damaged  
extension cord or have it repaired by  
a qualified electrician before using it.  
(see Table A.)  
3. The smaller the gauge number of the  
wire, the greater the capacity of the  
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord  
can carry a higher current than a 16  
gauge cord.  
8. Protect the extension cords from  
sharp objects, excessive heat, and  
damp or wet areas.  
(see Table A.)  
4. When using more than one extension  
cord to make up the total length,  
make sure each cord contains at  
least the minimum wire size required.

as automotive accessories. 12 VDC  
Circuit Breaker Switch provides circuit  
protection for 12 VDC accessories.  
note: The DC terminal may be used  
while the AC power is in use. An  
overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC  
circuit protector (push button comes  
out). If this happens, wait a few  
minutes before pushing in the circuit  
protector to resume operation.  
8. Disconnect all loads from the  
generator before shutting off. To  
prevent accidents, turn off the engine  
and disconnect its spark plug wire  
after use. Wait for the engine to  
cool, clean external parts with clean
