Equipment Description

Readthis manual carefully and becomefamiliar...... with your generator. Knowits applications, itslimitationsand any hazardsinvolved.

The generator is an engine-driven, revolving field, alternatingcurrent (AC) generator. It was designed to supply electricalpower for operating compatible electrical lighting,appliances, tools and motor loads. The generator's revolvingfield is driven at about 3,600 rpm by a twin-cylinder engine.

This generator incorporates GFCI(Ground Fault CircuitInterrupter) outlet protection and has its neutral bonded toground to comply to OSHAinspections on job sites. Thisgenerator will not function when connected to a 2 poletransfer switch since the home or building main breaker boxalso has a neutral bonded to ground. When both thegenerator andthe home or building breaker box contains aneutral bonded to ground, the generators GFCIwill open andno outlets will function.

_i, WARNING Removing the neutral bond could result in

Don't Overload Generator

Capacity

You must make sure your generator can supply enoughrated (running) and surge (starting) watts for the items youwill power at the same time. Follow these simple steps:

1. Select the items you will power at the same time.

2. Total the rated (running) watts of these items. This isthe amount of power your generator must produce tokeep your items running. Seethe table on the right.

3. Estimatehow many surge (starting) watts you will need.Surge wattage is the short burst of power neededtostart electric motor-driven tools or appliancessuch as acircular saw or refrigerator. Becausenot all motors startat the sametime, total surge watts can be estimatedbyadding only the item(s) with the highest additional surgewatts to the total rated watts from step 2.

Power Management

To prolong the life of your generator and attached devices, itis important to take care when adding electrical loads to yourgenerator. There should be nothing connected to thegenerator outlets before starting its engine. The correct andsafe way to manage generator power is to sequentially addloads as follows:

1. With nothing connected to the generator,start theengine as described in this manual.

2. Plug in andturn on the first load, preferably the largestload you have.

3. Permit the generator output to stabilize (engine runssmoothly and attached deviceoperates properly).

4. Plug in andturn on the next load.

5. Again, permit the generator to stabilize.

6. Repeatsteps 4 and 5 for each additional load.

LookFor RelevantEmissionsDurability Period andAirIndex InformationOnYour EngineEmissionsLabel

Engines that are certified to meet the CaliforniaAirResourcesBoard (CARD)Emissions Standard must displayinformation regardingthe Emissions Durability Period andthe Air Index. Briggs & Stratton makes this informationavailableto the consumer on our emissions labels. Theengine emissions labelwill indicate certification information.

The EmissionsDurability Perioddescribes the number ofhours of actual running time for which the engine is certifiedto be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenanceinaccordancewith the Operating & Maintenance Instructions.The following categories are used:

Moderate:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 125 hoursof actual engine running time.

Intermediate:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 250 hoursof actual engine running time.

Extended:Engine is certified to be emissions compliant for 500 hoursof actual engine running time.

For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to25 hours peryear. Therefore, the Emissions DurabilityPeriod of an engine with an intermediate rating wouldequate to 10 to 12 years. Briggs & Stratton engines arecertified to meet the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (USEPA)Phase2 emissions standards. For Phase2certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referredto on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the numberof operating hours for which the engine has beenshown tomeet Federalemissions requirements.

For engines less than 225 cc displacement.Category C = 125 hoursCategory B = 250 hoursCategory A = 500 hours

For engines of 225 cc or more displacement.Category C = 250 hoursCategory B = 500 hoursCategory A = 1000 hours

PowerRatings:The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeledin accordancewith SAE(Society of Automotive Engineers)code J1940 (Small EnginePower & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordancewith

SAEJ1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque valuesare derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower valuesare derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine

power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-enginevariability. Givenboth the wide

array of products on which enginesare placedand the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gasengine

will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given pieceof power equipment (actual "on-site" or net power). This difference is due to

a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (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 Series engine.
