LOW OIL SHUTDOWN

Your Craftsmen generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shutdown. Low (311Shutdown is a safety

device designed to protest your engine from damage Jnthe event the olt level in the crankosee is low.

If while the engine is running, the oll gets low, it will automatically shut itself down and will net msteft until the oil is added. If the oHis low before start-up, the generator will not start until oll is added.

NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sen- sitive. You must fill the engine to the _Jll mark on the dipatk::kto inactivate tl'dssidaty devicEL

GENERATOR CAPACITY

Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your generator and connected eleotdaal devices. You should observe the

following to prevent overloading the unit:

???Starting end running w,=ttage requimrnents should always be e_lculated when matching a generators wattage capacity to the 8pplianoe or tool.

There ere two types of elantricel appliances that can be powered by your gerlerator:

A.Items such as radios, light bulbs, tdevision sets. end mk=roweves have a "resistive lead'.

Starting wattage and running wattage am the

SI_TIO,

B.Items such as refrigerators, sir compressors, washer, dryer, and hand tools that use an elantdcal motor have an "induotlva load".

Inductive load appHan_se and tools require approximately 2 to 4 times the listed wattage for _ the equipment. This initial load only lasts for a few seconds on atart-up but is very important when figuring your total wattage to be used.

NOTE: Some inductive appliances and tools will list on the motor name plate, the turfing and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the follow- ing formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage: (Volts XAmp = Watts)

', Always start your large.st electric motor first, and then plug in other items, one at a time.

NOTE: On 120-volt loads the maximum starting watt- age should NOT exceed one half of the rated generator wattage. Example: a 5000 rated wattage generator == 2500 maximum starting wattage.

The guide is provided to assist you in determining the appliances end tools that can be ran with the wattage capec;ity of your generator.

OBTAINING ELECTRICITY FROM

GENERATOR

There am baskmlly two ways to obtain eleot_o{tyform

??? generator:

- Use of extension cords directly from the genera- tor to the appliance, lights, tools, etc.

Use of a double-throw transfer switoh installed

directly to the rosin electrical supply outside of the house.

Extension Cord

When using an appliance st'fed at s ???onsiderable distance from the generator, a 3-wire extension cord that has e 3-blade grounding plug and ??? 3-slot

reeeptocis that accepts the toors plug MUST be used in order to reduce the riskof electrioal shock. A

cord of adequate size must be used. A mLnlmum of 12 gauge wire size with at least ??? 20 amp draw can be

used. When amperage exceeds 20 amps e 10 gauge wim size should be used.

It is st that point that the generator could feed back into the utility company'ssystem causing pogldble electrocution of workers who am repaJltng electrical lines, To avoid beck feeding of ele,.-td_ty into utility systems, a double-throw transfer switch should be installed between the generator and utif;ty power. This device should be inst-Jled by a licensed electrician and in compliance with all local eisctdcal codes.

NOTE: When installing a Double-Throw Transfer Switch. a minimum of 10 gauge wiring must be used.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Alwayscheck engine o, level

before every start. Running engine low of ell or out of oil could result in

serious damage to the engine.

Adding EngineOn

Your generator has been elllpped without oil in the engine. Begin by removing the oil dipstick end plug. Start pouring the oil In slowly.

The engine will hold approximately 28 ounce4;of oil. To check the oil, clean end replace the dipstick. Do not s_rew the dip stink in when checking the ONlevel. NeXt, remove the dipstick to check the level. The oil dipstick is elasdy marked with lines that tell you when the engine has enough oil. Do not fill sb;'ve this point.

NOTE: When adding ollto the engine _ar_,..case, use a high quality detergent eli classified "For Service SF,SG,SH" rated SAE30 weight. Use no spadaladd_ve_ Select the oil'sviscoldtygrade accordingto yourexpected operating temperatures.

GENERATOR MAINTENANCE

Your generator should be kept clean and dry at all

times. The generator should not be stored or oper- ated in environments that include _cesslve moisture, dust or any corrosive vapom. If these substanoes we on the generator, eleen with a cloth or soft bristle brush. DO not use a garden hose or anyU1ingwith water pressure to clean the generator.
