This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual. Connecting Electrical Loads • Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting. • Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads. • DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles. • DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator. • DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator. • DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload Generator” on page 12. Stopping the Engine 1. Unplug ALL electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON. 2. Move idle control switch to “Off” position. 3. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator. 4. Move fuel valve to “Off” position. 5. Turn engine off according to instructions given in the engine owner’s manual. Operating Automatic Idle Control This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only run at its normal high governed engine speed when electrical loads are connected.When an electrical load is removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the switch off, the engine will run at the normal high engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and stopping the engine. Charging a Battery Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery. DANGER Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging. Hydrogen gas stays near battery for a long time after battery has been charged. Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion. You can be blinded or severely injured. Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic. Contact with battery fluid will cause severe chemical burns. • 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. To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows: 1. Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. DO NOT use tap water. 2. If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are tight. 3. If necessary, clean battery terminals. 4. Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle identified by the words “12-VOLTS D.C.”. 5. Move idle control switch to “Off” position. 6. Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 3). 7 8 BSPP Generator 7. Connect battery charge cable clamp with black handle to the negative (–) battery terminal (Figure 4). 8. Start engine. Let engine run while battery recharges. 9. When battery has charged, shut down engine NOTE: Use an automotive hydrometer to test battery state of charge and condition. Follow the hydrometer manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Generally, a battery is considered to be at 100% state of charge when specific gravity of its fluid (as measured by hydrometer) is 1.260 or higher. 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 breather system. Build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator: 1. Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed. Note that your generator may appear different from that shown in Figure 4. 2. Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object. 3. Face exposed end away from wind and elements. 4. Enclosure should hold enough heat created by generator to prevent problems. Figure 3 — Battery Connections Figure 4 — Permanent Cold Weather Shelter Wind • 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). • Remove generator from shelter when temperature is above 40°F [4°C]. Running generator gives off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, fainting or death. DANGER BSPP Generator BSPP Generator The generator will be equipped with one or more of the following receptacles: CAUTION Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater than generator output capacity. • NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage than generator or receptacle can supply. • DO NOT overload the generator. See “Don’t Overload Generator”. 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle Use a NEMA L14–30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volts AC at 30 Amps (or greate...
