To Restore Home Power Using a Transfer Switch
Connections to your home’s electrical system must use a
manual transfer switch installed by a qualified electrician.
The connection must isolate the generator power from
the utility power and comply with all applicable laws and
electrical codes.
To Restore Power Using Extension Cords
Generator may only be loaded up to rated power under
the rated conditions as shown on unit data tag. Reduce
load when using generator outside of rated conditions.
Use only high quality, well-insulated extension cables in
accordance with IEC 60245-4 with the generator’s 230
Volt AC outlets. Inspect extension cables before each
use. Check that all extension cables are suitably rated
and are not damaged. When using extension cords under
40° C, the total length of cords for a cross section of 1.5
mm² should not exceed 50 m or for a cross section of 2.5
mm² should not exceed 80 m.
WARNING!
Damaged or overloaded extension
cords could overheat, arc, and burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Electrical equipment, including cables and plug
connections, should not be defective.
1. Install carbon monoxide alarm(s).
2. When operating generator with extension cords,
make sure it is located in an open, outdoor area,
at least 6.1 m from occupied spaces with exhaust
pointed away.
3. Extension cords running directly into home,
powering indoor items IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
WARNING!
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Extension cords running directly into the home
increase your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
through openings.
• If an extension cord running directly into the home is
used to power indoor items, the operator recognizes
that this increases the risk of CO poisoning to people
inside the home and assumes that risk.
4. Install a manual transfer switch as soon as possible
if generator will be used to provide home power
restoration.
230 Volt AC Receptacles
Figure
1
Use receptacles (
M
) to operate 230 Volt AC, single-phase,
50 Hz electrical loads. The receptacle is protected against
overload by a push-to-reset circuit breaker (
N
).
Protection of electrical components depends on circuit
breakers specifically matched to the generator. Replace
circuit breaker with identical rating and performance
characteristics.
WARNING!
Generator voltage could
cause electrical shock or burn resulting in
death or serious injury.
• Do not touch bare wires or receptacles.
• Do not use generator with electrical cords which are worn,
frayed, bare or otherwise damaged.
• Do not operate generator in the rain or wet weather.
• Do not handle generator or electrical cords while standing
in water, while barefoot, or while hands or feet are wet.
• Do not allow unqualified persons or children to operate or
service generator.
• Keep children a safe distance from generator.
12 Volt DC Receptacle
Figure
1
The maximum current available for the 12 Volt DC
receptacle (
T
) is 5 Amps. A DC circuit breaker protects
this receptacle from overloads. If an overload occurs, the
circuit breaker (
R
) will trip (push button pops out). Wait
a few minutes and push the button in to reset the circuit
breaker.
5 Volt DC USB Ports
Figure
1
The maximum combined current available for the USB
ports (
V
) is 2.1 Amps at 5 Volts. The USB port allows
you to recharge most USB powered devices with a USB
charging cable (not included).
NOTICE
For maximum output, use the bottom USB
port.
NOTICE
For charging ITE (Information Technology
Equipment) only.
Output Indicator
Figure

The green LED output indicator light (
A
) comes on when
the generator is operating normally.
Overload Alarm
Figure
6
The red LED overload alarm light (
B
) flashes when near
overload and is steady if you overload the generator.
The green output indicator light will also go off. If the
generator was overloaded, you must turn off all electrical
loads, then push the generator reset button to continue
operating.
Parallel Operation
Two Briggs & Stratton inverter generators can be run
in parallel with a Briggs & Stratton parallel operation kit
(optional equipment).
See the parallel operation kits instruction sheet for
detailed instructions on installation and operation of the
connected generators.
