Generally, connecting a No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded copper wire to the grounding wing nut and to an earth-driven copper or brass grounding rod (electrode) provides adequate protection against electrical shock. Be careful to keep the grounding wire attached after connecting the stranded copper wire. However, local codes may vary widely. Consult with a local electrician for grounding requirements in your area. Properly grounding the generator helps prevent electrical shock if a groun

Failure to isolate generator from power utility can result in death or injury to electric utility workers due to backfeed of electrical energy. DANGER • • DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery. Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves. Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging. Hydrogen gas stays around battery for a long time after battery has been charged. Slightest spark will

Seat the e-ring by pressing the pliers closed. 6. Repeat step 3 through 5 to secure second wheel. 7. Remove the temporary blocks. 8. Attach the vibration mounts to the support leg with 30mm capscrews and lock nuts. 9. To aid support leg assembly, rest generator on cradle, engine end down. Remove the existing hardware from the left unit vibration mount with 13mm wrench. Use the same hardware to attach the support leg. 10. Attach the other side of the support leg with a 20mm cap screw and lock nut

Use cord sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or greater). CAUTION! These outlets are rated at 120 Volt 20 Amps each (up to 80 Amps).The generator may only be rated for up to 27 Amps. Powering loads that exceed the wattage/amperage capacity of the generator can damage it or cause serious injuries. COLD WEATHER OPERATION Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase

Install fuel cap and wait for any spilled fuel to evaporate. 6. If moving generator, turn the vent knob fully clockwise on the fuel gauge to close it. IMPORTANT: The vent knob should be closed whenever you move the generator. Vent Knob As is common with all plastic fuel containers, the fuel tank supplied with this generator may swell or expand due to build-up of fuel vapors when the vent knob is closed.This tank is designed and has been tested to safely withstand pressure-buildup.The 'ballooning

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. • Operate generator ONLY outdoors. • Keep exhaust gas from entering a confined area through windows, doors, ventilation intakes or other openings. The generator enclosure must be at least 5 ft. (152 cm) from structures having combustible walls and/or other combustible materials. Leave at least 3 ft. (92 cm) all around the enclosure including the roof, for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. Place generator in a well ventila

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. • Operate generator ONLY outdoors. • Keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for adequate ventilation. • DO NOT operate generator inside any building or enclosure, including the generator compartment of a recreational vehicle (RV). DANGER Failure to properly ground generator can result in electrocution, especially if the generator is equipped with a wheel kit. Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas dur

2. Place axle stud through wheel retainer on cradle frame, as shown in Figure 2. 3. Use 15/16” wrench to secure the axle stud to frame with 5/8-18 jam nut. 4. Install the other axle stud in the same manner. NOTE: Be sure to install wheel with raised hub inboard. 5. Tip unit and install the wheel. Place flat washer over axle stud. 6. Retain wheel on axle stud with retaining pin. Install other wheel on remaining axle shaft the same way. 7. Attach the vibration mount to the mounting leg with a caps

2. Obtain engine Model/Type/Code numbers from engine label. See “Know Your Home Standby Generator” diagram for location. Please note that model number may vary slightly from that presented herein. STORAGE The Briggs & Stratton Home Standby Generator is designed for continuous backup operational duty.As such,there is no need to take any storage precautions. However, if it becomes necessary to take the system out of service for an extended period, call Briggs & Stratton Technical Services at 1-800
