SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
In order to ensure safety for the consumer, please carefully follow instructions on being careful with the generator
Operate the generator ONLY outdoors.
Never run the generator indoors as the engine gives off poisonous carbon monoxide, an odorless and colorless gas.
Inhaling carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. Also, keep the generator at least 3 feet away from flammable matter for adequate ventilation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND SHORT
CIRCUIT
Be sure to notify the utility company when using the generator for backup power. Use approved transfer equipment to isolate the generator from electric utility. In highly conductive area such as metal decking or steel work, use a ground circuit fault interrupter. Never touch the generator if the generator is wet. Also, never touch the generator if your hand is wet. Never operate your generator if the weather conditions call for any type of precipitation such as rain, snow, or fog.
DANGER
Always properly ground the generator.
Failing to do so can result in electrocution, particularly if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit.

PREVENTION FROM ACCIDENTAL
BURNS
Never touch the muffler and its cover when the engine is running. Never touch the muffler and cover after the engine has been used, as the muffler remains hot for a good period of time.
REFUELING PRECAUTIONS
Gasoline and its vapors are extremely flammable. Do not smoke near gasoline and keep gasoline away from generator while the generator is running. When adding fuel, turn the generator off and let
it cool for at least 2 minutes before removing the gas cap. Loosen the gas cap slowly to relieve the pressure in the tank.
Fill fuel tank outdoors and never overfill the tank. excessive moisture, dust, dirt, or corrosive vapors.
GROUNDING THE GENERATOR
The National Electric Code requires that the frame of generator and the external electrically conductive parts of the generator be connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may differ and require other grounding specifications.
For this purpose, please use the ground wire that attaches from the frame to the generator unit.
When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank. Store the gasoline away from appliances or equipment that have a pilot light or other ignition sources because it can ignite gasoline vapors
ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
After the generator has been run, the engine produces heat. The temperature of the muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 1600 F. Severe burns will occur on contact with skin. Do not modify the generator in any way. The generator supplies the rated voltage and rated frequency at its governed speed.
GENERATOR SAFETY
Never overload your generator as this can damage your generator or the electrical devices connected to it
Do not start generator with electrical devices connected to it. Start the generator first and after the speed of the generator stabilizes, electrical loads can be applied to it.
When connecting electrical loads, make sure the devices are "OFF" first before connecting them. Keep the same concept when disconnecting electrical devices; make sure all devices are in the
"OFF" position before disconnecting.
Operate the generator on level surfaces only. Inclined surfaces reduce the effective lubrication of the engine.
Do not expose the generator to

Using a No. 12 AWG (American Wire
Gauge) stranded copper wire to the frame and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod provides sufficient safety against shock. However, local codes may differ. Contact a local electrician to find out specifications for grounding your generator.
Note: Grounding your generator is highly recommended. It helps prevent electrical shock if a ground fault condition exists in the generator or in faulty connected electrical devices. Also, because the generator is rotating at high speeds, static electricity tends to buildup within the unit. Grounding helps dissipate the static electricity buildup often buildup in underground devices.
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS
AND ELECTRICAL CAPACITY
Before beginning your work, you must verify that the rated (running) and surge
(starting) watts for the items you will power at the same time are within the generators operating capacity. Please refer to the following Table 1 for wattage
/ amperage ratings. Also, to prolong the life of your generator, sequentially add loads and permit the generator to stabilize before adding another load.
Never exceed the capacity of the
generator.
Estimate how many surge (starting) watts you will need. Surge wattage is the short burst of power needed to start electric motor-driven tools or appliances such as a circular saw or refrigerator.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Unplug all the electrical loads from the generator panel (Figure 1).
.
Let the engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and generator.
Turn the engine switch to the "OFF" position (Figure 2).
Figure 2.
Note: Please be sure to use electrical cords that support the amount of wattage being used.
The electrical cords should be able to handle 10 Amps of current at 125 Volts.
MAINTENACE

About Your Product Warranty
Eastern Tools & Equipment, Inc. welcomes warranty repair and apologizes to you for being inconvenienced. Any Authorized Service Dealer may perform warranty repairs. Most warranty repairs are handled routinely, but sometimes warranty service may be inappropriate. For example, warranty would not apply if an engine is damaged because of misuse, lack of routine maintenance, shipping, handling, warehousing and improper installation. Similarly, warranty is void if the serial number on the engine has been removed or if the engine has been altered or modified. If a customer differs with the decision of the
Service Dealer, an investigation will be made to determine whether the warranty applies.
Ask the Service Dealer to submit all supporting facts to his Distributor or the factory for review. If the distributor or the factory decides that the claim is justified, the customer will be fully reimbursed for those items that are defective. To avoid misunderstanding, which
3
might occur between the customer and the dealer, listed below are some of the causes of engine failure that the warranty does not cover.
Normal wear:
Engines and generators, like all mechanical devices, need periodic parts service and replacement to perform well. Warranty will not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part of an engine.
Improper maintenance:
The life of an engine or your equipment depends upon the conditions under which it operates, and the care it receives. Some applications, such as tillers, pumps, and rotary movers, are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be premature, wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust, spark pug cleaning grit, or other abrasive material that has entered the engine because of improper maintenance is not covered by warranty.
This warranty cover engine related defective material and/or workmanship only, and not replacement or refund of the equipment to which the engine may be mounted. Nor des the warranty extend to repairs required because of:
1. Problems caused by parts that are not original eastern tools & equipment, inc., parts.
2. Equipment controls or installations that prevent starting, cause unsatisfactory engine performance, or shorten engine life. (Contact equipment manufacturer.)
3. Leaking carburetor, clogged fuel pipes, sticking valves, or other damage, caused by using contaminated or stale fuel. (Use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline.)
4. Parts which are scored or broken because an engine was operated with insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil, or and incorrect grad of lubricating oil
(check oil level daily or after every 8 hours of operation. Refill when necessary and change at recommended intervals.) Engine damage may occur if oil level is not properly maintained. Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
5. Repair or adjustment of associated parts or assemblies such as clutches, transmissions, remote controls, etc., which are not manufactured by Eastern
Tools & Equipment, Inc.
6. Damage or wear to parts caused by dirt, which entered the engine because of improper air filter maintenance, re-assembly, or use of a non-original air filter element or cartridge. Read Operating & Maintenance Instructions.
7. Parts damaged by over-speeding, or overheating caused by grass, debris, or dirt, which plugs or clogs the cooling fins, or flywheel are, or damaged caused by operating the engine in a confined area without sufficient ventilation.
8. Engine or equipment parts broken by excessive vibration caused by a loosen cutter blades unbalanced blades or loose unbalanced impellers, improper attachment of equipment to engine crankshaft, over speeding or other abuse in operation.
9. A bent or broken crankshaft, caused by striking a solid object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, or excessive v-belt tightness.
10. Routine tune-up or adjustment of the engine.
11. Engine or engine component failure, i.e., combustion chamber, valves, valve seats, valve guides, or burned starter motor winding, caused by the alternated fuels such as, liquefied petroleum, natural gas, altered gasoline’s etc.
