Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your outdoor generator. Know its applications,
its limitations, and any hazards involved. Save
these instructions for future reference.
The outdoor generator is an engine-driven, revolving
field, alternating current (AC) generator equipped with a
voltage regulator. The generator is designed to supply
electrical power for operating compatible electrical lighting,
appliances, tools and motor loads. The voltage regulator
within the generator is designed to automatically maintain
output voltage level.
The portable generator produces power that can be used
for outdoor items using extension cords or for providing
power to your travel trailer/recreational vehicle (RV). This
portable 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 Power Products
authorized parts only.
System Ground
The generator neutral is floating, which means that the
AC stator winding is isolated from the grounding fastener
and the AC receptacle ground pins. On a floating neutral
generator the AC receptacle ground pins are not functional.
Electrical devices, such as a GFCI, requiring a functioning
AC receptacle ground pin will not operate.
Special Requirements
There may be Federal or State 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 or similar activity as defined by NFPA 70-2014 (NEC)
section 590.6.
