Equipment Description

Read this manual carefully and become familiar with your product. Know its applications, its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save these original instructions for future reference.

The inverter generator is an engine–driven, revolving field, alternating and direct current (AC & DC) generator.

It was designed to supply electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting, appliances, tools and motor loads. The generator’s revolving field is driven at about 4,500 rpm (with QPT™ (QUIET POWER

TECHNOLOGY™) switch off) by a single-cylinder engine.

The inverter generator produces power that can be used for outdoor items using extension cords or an optional parallel kit. This inverter generator is not intended to restore power to a home. Extension cords running directly into the home increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning through openings. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).

Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this manual is both accurate and current. However, the manufacturer reserves the right to change, alter or otherwise improve the generator and this documentation at any time without prior notice.

NOTICE If you have questions about intended use, contact an authorized service dealer. This equipment is designed to be used with Briggs & Stratton authorized parts only.

System Ground

The generator has a system ground that connects the generator frame components to the ground terminals on the

AC output receptacles. The generator neutral is floating, which means that the AC stator winding is isolated from the grounding fastener and the AC receptacle ground pins.

Electrical devices, such as RCD, requiring a grounded neutral may not operate properly from this generator.

Earthing of the generator is not required.

Special Requirements

There may be regulations, local codes, or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the generator. Please consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or the local agency having jurisdiction.

This generator is not intended to be used at a construction site.

Operation

Operation

Step 1: Safe Location

Before starting the inverter generator there are two equally important safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed.

Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The engine exhaust of all fossil fuel burning equipment, such as an inverter generator, contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

A carbon monoxide alarm is an electronic device that detects hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. When there is a buildup of carbon monoxide, the alarm will alert the occupants by flashing visual indicator light and alarm.

Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

Carbon monoxide alarm

WARNING! Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.

Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon monoxide gas.

• Operate this product only outdoors far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn towards occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• Do not run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partiallyenclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• Always place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from occupied spaces.

If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product, get to fresh air right away. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide poisoning.

Operation

Step 2: Oil and Fuel

Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty

Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

5. If needed, using oil funnel, slowly pour recommended engine oil into oil fill opening to the point of overflowing.

* Below 4°C (40°F) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 27°C (80°F) the use of 10W30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Checking/Adding Engine Oil

Oil level should be checked prior to each use or at least every 8 hours of operation. Keep oil level maintained.

1. Place generator on a level surface.

2. Loosen the two maintenance cover screws and remove the side maintenance cover.

3. Clean area around oil fill and remove yellow oil fill cap.

NOTICE DO NOT attempt to crank or start engine before it has been properly serviced with recommended oil. This could result in an engine failure.

6. Replace oil fill cap and fully tighten.

7. Replace the maintenance cover and hand tighten the two maintenance cover screws.

Add Fuel

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded fuel with a minimum of

87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON).

• Gasoline with an ethanol content up to 10% is acceptable.

E10 E15

NOTICE Do not mix oil in fuel or modify engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels could damage engine and will not be covered under warranty.

See High Altitude for 1524 m (5,000 ft.) and above.

WARNING!

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable which could cause burns or fire resulting in death or serious injury.

• Do not refuel during operation.

• Turn engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors. Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

1. Clean area around fuel fill cap, remove cap.

2. Slowly add unleaded fuel to red fuel level indicator in fuel tank. Be careful not to fill above the indicator. This allows adequate space for fuel expansion.

4. Verify oil is at the point of overflowing at the oil fill opening.

Fuel Level

Indicator

8 BRIGGSandSTRATTON.com.au

3. Install fuel cap and let any spilled fuel evaporate before starting engine.

High Altitude

At altitudes over 1524 m (5,000 ft.), a minimum 85 octane/85

AKI (89 RON) fuel is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions.

See an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes below

762 m (2,500 ft.) with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

Transporting

When transporting equipment with a vehicle or trailer, turn engine switch to OFF (0) position. Do not tip engine or equipment at an angle which causes fuel to spill.

Step 3: Generator Start Up

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions:

1. Make sure unit is outdoors on a level surface.

NOTICE Failure to operate the unit on a level surface may cause the unit to shut down.

2. Turn the engine switch to the ON (I) position.

Engine Switch

Operation

QPT (QUIET POWER TECHNOLOGY™)

This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.

When this switch is turned ON (I), the engine speed will increase as electrical loads are connected, and decreased as electrical loads are removed.

With the switch off, engine will run at full governed speed.

NOTICE Always have the switch OFF (0) when starting or stopping the generator or when using the DC receptacle.

Step 4: Connecting Electrical Loads

Make sure the green output indicator light comes on (it may take up to three seconds).

Using Extension Cords

When using extension cords or mobile distribution networks, the total length of cords for a cross section of

1.5mm

2 should not exceed 60 m, for a cross section of

2.5mm

2 this should not exceed 100 m.

Use only grounded extension cords marked for outdoor use rated for your loads. Follow cord safety instructions.

3. Estimate the starting watts you will need. Because not all motors start at the same time, total starting wattage can be estimated by adding only the item with the highest additional starting watts requirements to the total running watts from step 2.

Operation

Power Management

To manage generator power, sequentially add loads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to generator, start the engine outdoors.

2. Plug in and turn on the first load, preferably the largest load you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runs smoothly and attached device operates properly).

4. Plug in and turn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

Never add more loads than the generator capacity. Take special care to consider surge loads in generator capacity.

Step 6: Generator Shutdown

1. Turn off and unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. Never stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

2. Let engine run at no-load for one minute to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

3. Turn engine switch to OFF (0) position.

If storing the unit for more than 30 days, use the following guidelines to prepare it for storage.

Long Term Storage Instructions

1. Clean the generator as outlined in Cleaning .

2. Change engine oil while engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with recommended grade. See

Changing Engine Oil .

3. Treat or drain fuel from generator as fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days.

Stale fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment

& Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold. See Common Service Parts.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system before storage.

If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be drained into an approved container.

Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

WARNING!

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive which could cause burns, fire or explosion resulting in death or serious injury.

• When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in tank, store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source because they could ignite fuel vapors.

• When draining fuel, turn generator engine off and let it cool at least 2 minutes before removing fuel cap. Loosen cap slowly to relieve pressure in tank. Drain fuel tank outdoors. Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition sources.

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.

4. Store generator in clean, dry area and cover with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture.

WARNING!

Storage covers could cause a fire resulting in death or serious injury.

Power Ratings: The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive

Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived at

3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this engine.

* This generator is rated in accordance with Briggs & Stratton standard 628K.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY

Warranty service is available only through Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service Dealers. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes requests for warranty service may not be appropriate. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.

Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s

Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical corrosion damage.

Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent.

Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.

Normal Wear and Tear - Like most mechanical devices, your unit is subject to wear even when properly maintained. This warranty does not cover repairs when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.

Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.

Other Exclusions - This warranty excludes damage due to accident, abuse, modifications, alterations, improper servicing, freezing or chemical deterioration.

Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
