•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Gasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions.

Fuel and refuel in a well ventilated area with the engine stopped.

Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in the area where the engine is being refueled or where gasoline is stored.

Do not over fill the tank (there should be no fuel in the filler neck).

After refueling, make sure the tank cap is closed properly and securely.

Be careful not to spill fuel when fueling or refueling. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.

If fuel is spilled make sure the area is dry and free of fumes before starting the engine.

Avoid fuel contact with the skin or breathing vapors for a prolonged period.

KEEP FUEL OUT OF THE REACH

OF CHILDREN.

Set Up

1. Unleaded gasoline with a octane rating of 86 or higher is recommended because it produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the exhaust system life.

2. Remove tank cap and fill tank.

3. Do not fill tank above the shoulder of the fuel strainer.

Strainer

Shoulder

4. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or oil/ gasoline mixture. KDAR recommends a fuel stabilizer.

5. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Grounding the Generator

KDAR recommends generators be properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help prevent electric shock. The ground terminal found on the control panel is connected to the frame of the generator for this purpose. Connecting a length of heavy gauge (6 AWG minimum) copper wire between the generator and a copper rod driven into the ground should provide an acceptable ground connection. Please contact a local qualified electrician to insure local codes are being followed.

Spark Arresting Muffler

All Hot Max generators are equipped with spark arresting mufflers allowing for use around agricultural crops, forests, brush, grass and other similar items. Spark arresting mufflers are required in the

State of California and on some U.S. Forest Service Land and may also be legally required under other statutes and ordinances. The California statues requiring a spark arresting muffler are Sections

13005(b), 4442 and 4443.

KDAR Company 7

CAUTION

•

•

•

Do not exceed the maximum wattage rating for the generator when using one or more receptacles.

Do not exceed the amperage rating of any one receptacle.

Do not apply heavy electrical load for the first 2– 3 hours of operation

(break-in period).

Total Wattage Determination

To insure the generator is not overloaded and damaged as a result, it is essential to know the total watts of the connected load. The following steps will help determine the intended load.

1. Determine what item or items you intend to connect to the generator.

2. Check the wattage requirements for each item, referring to the item’s nameplate. If watts are not referenced on the nameplate they can be calculated by multiplying amps and voltage

(amps x voltage = watts).

3. Add the wattage requirements for each item to get the total wattage required.

4. Appliances and tools with motors will require additional wattage at start up, usually 2 1/2 to 4 times their running wattage.

5. The generators rated running watts should meet or exceed the watts required for the equipment you intend to run.

6. Always connect the heavies load to the generator first, then add additional items one at a time in order of descending wattage requirements.

For more information on calculating wattage requirements see the panel on the top of the carton this unit was shipped in or the charts in the back of this manual.
