INTRODUCTION

Your Owner’s Manual is meant to provide you with instructions for safe and proper operation of
the 4500 watt portable alternator. Read its contents carefully and comply with all instructions
and rules for safe operation. With proper care, your alternator will give years of dependable elec­

tric power.

A

CAUTION

Engines are shipped without oil. Any attempt to start your alternator before the recom­

mended oil has been properly added will result in an engine failure.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

A

Your

portable

alternator

produces

dangerously high voltages. Never permit un­
qualified people - especially children - to
operate the unit.

Never

handle

electrical

equipment

while standing in water, while barefoot, or
while hands are wet. This can result in
dangerous electrical shock.

Maintain

electrical

power

cords

in

good condition. Worn, bare or frayed elec­
trical cords are dangerous.

Make sure the wire gauge sizes of

electrical power cords are large enough to

handle the largest anticipated amperage of

electrical equipment. Using wires that are too

small

to

handle

the

amperage

load

is

dangerous.

Never run the alternator in any enclos­

ed area. Gasoline engines consume oxygen
and give off DEADLY carbon monoxide gas.

Never install the alternator in any

enclosure

or

compartment

that

might

obstruct the free flow of cooling air. Severe

heat damage to the unit will occur.

Gasoline is highly flammable and ex­

plosive. Comply with local laws governing the
storage and handling of gasoline.

A

Use care when using your alternator.

Keep clear of moving parts. Never work on the
unit while it is running. Keep equipment clean
and

check

frequently

for

loose,

missing,

rusted or damaged nuts, bolts, and other
fasteners.

Never try to adjust governed engine

speed. High engine speed is dangerous. The
alternator will produce the required voltage
and frequency only at 3600 rpm.
