3. Many homes and construction sites are wired
for at least 60 to 100 Amp entrance service, much
greater than the capacity of this portable genera-
tor. When installing the generator at these sites,
a secondary emergency distribution panel may
have to be installed, such as the Emergency Trans-
fer/Service (ET/S) system available through your
WINCO dealer. The emergency distribution panel
must be installed by a licensed electrician according
to all applicable codes. The electrician will move the
critical circuits to be powered during the outage to
the emergency panel. Keep in mind only a limited
amount of amperage is available from the genera-
tor set. Some circuit breakers may still have to be
turned off to prevent an overload on the generator
during the initial start up. See the nameplate on
your generator for the amperage capabilities of your
unit.
CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Failure to properly limit and balance the load
applied to the generator will cause the generator to
produce low voltage and may damage the engine
generator set. It may also cause severe damage to
the loads connected to the generator at that time.
Improper loading of the generator set constitutes
abuse and will not be covered by warranty.
ENGINE CARE
If major engine service or repair is required, contact
an authorized engine service center. The manufac-
turer of these engines has established an excellent
world-wide engine service organization. Engine ser-
vice is very likely available from a nearby authorized
dealer or distributor. Check the yellow pages of your
local telephone directory under “Engines-Gasoline”
for the closest engine repair center or ask the dealer
from whom you purchased the power plant.
1. Change the oil after the fi rst 5 hours of operation
and yearly or 100 hours thereafter under normal op-
erating conditions. Change engine oil every 50 hours
of operation if the engine is operated under heavy
load, or in high ambient temperatures.
a. Start the engine and warm it up, stop the engine
and remove the spark plug wire to prevent it
from accidently being started.
b. Remove oil drain plug at base of the engine
(Ref “B”) and drain the oil into an approved
container. Use a 3/8” drive socket extension.
c. Remove the oil fi lter (Ref “C”) and dispose of it
properly.
d. Before you install the new oil fi lter, lightly lubri-
cate the oil fi lter gasket with fresh clean oil.
e. Install the oil fi lter by hand until the gasket
contacts the oil fi lter adapter, then tighten the oil
fi lter 1/2 to 3/4 turns.
f. Replace oil drain plug.
g. Remove
oil fi ller plug and refi ll with new oil.
Refer to the table on page 5 for the proper
grade of oil based on your operating
temperature.
NOTE: This engine requires 46 to 48 ounces of oil
if it is completely drained. Use caution when refi lling
the engine as some residual oil may have remained
in the engine. Always use the dipstick when fi lling
the engine with oil to prevent overfi lling.
h. Replace fi ller plug.
I. Start the engine up and warm it up.
J. After warming up the engine, recheck the oil
level and refi ll as necessary to bring it to the
proper level. See page 5 for proper oil level.
