LOCATION
For best service from your stationary generator set there are several factors which should be taken
into consideration when choosing the best location in which to permanently mount it:
MOISTURE: All electrical equipment should be protected from excessive moisture. Failure to do so
will result in deterioration of the insulation and may result in short circuits and a possible
electrocution hazard.
OPERATING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN WET ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS CREATE A POTENTIAL ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.
DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHILE STANDING IN
WATER, ON WET GROUND, OR WITH WET HANDS OR SHOES.
DIRT: Foreign materials such as dust, sand and other abrasive materials have a tendency to cause
excessive wear to both engine and generator parts. It is important that the unit be operated in a
reasonably clean environment.
HEAT: All engines give off considerable heat when running. Since the engine and your generator
set uses air to keep it cool it is important that the temperature of the area in which it is located is
does not exceed 100o F (even while it is running). Where natural ventilation is inadequate a fan to
boost circulation should be utilized.
EXHAUST: Exhaust Gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Whenever an
engine is run indoors the exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside.
EXHAUST FUMES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. ALWAYS
OPERATE IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
CONFINED SPACE: This unit must not be operated in a confined space or an enclosed compartment
/ area. Running the generator set in this environment is a potential fire hazard and is not authorized.
Engine and generator overheating damage could also occur due to restricted cooling airflow to and
from the unit.
OPERATING THIS UNIT IN AN AREA WITHOUT ADEQUATE
VENTILATION CREATES A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. ALWAYS
OPERATE THIS UNIT IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.

CONNECTIONS
WIRING: Use sufficiently large insulated wire to connect the generator set to the load. The gauge
of the wire will depend largely on the distance, the permissible voltage drop, and the size and type of
load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a competent
electrician.
FRAYED, CUT, BROKEN, LOOSELY CONNECTED, OR IMPROPERLY
SIZED POWER CORDS OR WIRES CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE,
FIRE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. INSPECT AND MAINTAIN ALL
POWER CORDS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
GROUNDING: If grounding is necessary in your application according to National Electric Code
and/or local codes, drive a 3/4" or 1" pipe into the ground as close to the generator
Set as is possible. This pipe must penetrate moist earth (minimum of 8 feet). Connect a ground clamp
to this pipe and run a No. 10 wire or larger from it to the ground stud on the generator set.
Do not connect the ground wire from the generator set to a water pipe or a ground used by a radio
system.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY OR DEATH. INSPECT AND MAINTAIN THE GROUNDING
SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
CONNECTIONS TO HOUSE WIRING: Any electrical generator that is temporarily connected to a
building or home (where the building is also supplied electricity by a local utility) shall be connected
only by a competent electrician and only after the main service entrance switch has been
disconnected and locked open. This will isolate the building's electrical system from the local utility's
electrical transmission wires and prevent the hazard of electrical back-feed to utility service workers.
Any generator set that is permanently connected to a building or home (where the building is also
supplied electricity by a local utility) shall be connected only by means of a double- throw transfer
switch. This will isolate the building's electrical system from the local utility's electrical transmission
wires and prevent the hazard of electrical back-feed to utility service workers.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS GENERATOR SET TO ANY BUILDING’S ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM UNLESS YOU USE AN APPROVED TRANSFER SWITCH OR THE MAIN
SERVICE ENTRANCE SWITCH HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AND LOCKED OPEN.
ANY TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT WIRING CONNECTIONS MADE BETWEEN A
GENERATOR SET AND AN EXISTING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MUST ONLY BE
DONE BY A QUALIFIED COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER WIRING/
CONNECTIONS COULD CAUSE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
INJURY OR DEATH.
CHECK ALL NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODES AND ALL LOCAL CODES IN REGARDS TO YOUR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION. ANY NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE OR LOCAL CODE WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER
ANY OF OUR GUIDELINES OR RECOMMENDATIONS.

ENGINE INFORMATION
This operator's manual only covers basic day-to-day engine operating instructions. However, the
engine manufacturer's manual is included with your generator set and should be referred to for any
additional information you may need. Become familiar with and follow all the engine manufacturer's
operation, safety and maintenance guidelines.
OIL: Use a high quality oil of the type specified in the engine owner's manual for your specific
operating conditions. Check the oil regularly, or at minimum every 5-8 hours of operation.
TO HELP PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE, CHECK THE OIL LEVEL OF THE ENGINE
REGULARLY AND MAKE SURE IT IS MAINTAINED AT THE PROPER LEVEL.
FUEL: (Gasoline or Diesel): Fill the fuel tank prior to operation. Use a clean fuel of the
type and specification mentioned in the engine owner's manual. Do not mix oil with the fuel. Never
fuel the engine while it is running or hot as any spilled fuel may ignite on the hot surfaces. Always
shut the engine off and allow it to cool down before refueling it.
SPILLED FUEL MAY IGNITE AND CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IF IT WOULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY
HOT SURFACE. NEVER REFUEL AN ENGINE WHILE IT IS HOT OR RUNNING.
ALWAYS CLEAN UP ANY SPILLED FUEL AND ALLOW IT TO DRY PRIOR TO
STARTING AN ENGINE.
FUEL (L.P. or Natural Gas): Make sure the gaseous fuel being supplied to the unit is in vapor form
and that it is being delivered to the engine's gaseous fuel regulator at the pressure specified on it. An
engine needs 10,000 BTU's of fuel per each engine horsepower to operate properly.
GASEOUS FUEL IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND CAN CAUSE PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. CHECK THE GASEOUS FUEL SUPPLY
SYSTEM ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR LEAKS. HAVE ANY LEAKS REPAIRED
BY AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO STARTING YOUR
GENERATOR SET.
OPERATING SPEED: This generator set must be run at it's proper speed in order to obtain the
electrical power it was built to produce.
All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The governor on the engine is
designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the load connected to the
generator set is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and as a result the engine speed drops
slightly. This slight decrease in engine speed results in a slight decrease in generator voltage and
frequency output. This voltage and frequency variation has no appreciable effect in the operation of
motors, lights, and most appliances and tools. However, timing devices and clocks will not keep
perfect time when used on this generator.

AFTER THE ENGINE HAS STOPPED AND THE GENERATOR SET HAS COOLED
DOWN. THE BATTERY AND SPARK PLUG SHOULD ALSO BE DISCONNECTED
PRIOR TO PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
REPAIRS AND/OR ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE GENERATOR SET
SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A COMPETENT MECHANIC FAMILIAR
WITH THE OPERATION, SERVICING, AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS RELEVENT
TO THE ENGINE BEING WORKED ON.
This manual contains only very minimal engine maintenance instructions. You should refer to the
engine manufacturer's owner's manual for specific maintenance instructions for the engine on your
generator set. Any maintenance instructions or recommendations in the engine owner's manual take
precedence over any of the following general recommendations.
1. Clean and/or replace any fuel, oil, and/or air filters per the engine manufacturers' guidelines.
2. Check oil level regularly; at least every 5 to 8 hours of operation. Be sure the proper oil
level is maintained.
3. Change the oil as is recommended in the engine manufacturer's owner's manual.
4. Replace the spark plug(s) as is recommended by the engine manufacturer (if applicable to
the engine).
5. Clean the cooling fins on the engine to keep the engine's heat dissipation potential at it's
maximum.

STORAGE
If you will not be using the generator set for a significant amount of time (3 months or longer) you
should store the generator to prevent any problems that could arise from sitting idle. Please fully read
the following guidelines prior to storing the unit.
1. Remove all fuel from the engine's fuel tank. If your engine is a gasoline engine start the
generator set and allow it to run out of fuel and then close all the fuel valves. If it is not a
gasoline engine, go to step 2.
An alternative to draining the fuel from a gasoline engine is adding a fuel stabilizer, such as
"STA-BIL" to minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage (Follow the manufacturer's
directions). After the fuel stabilizer is added, run the generator set for 5 minutes to get the stabilizer
into the carburetor. After shutting the engine off, be sure to close all the fuel valves.
2. Disconnect and remove the battery if your generator set is so equipped.
3. Drain the used oil from the engine's crankcase and refill it with fresh, clean oil (If your engine
is diesel proceed to step 4).
4. If your engine has spark plugs, remove them and pour1 oz. Of clean engine oil into the
cylinder. Put a rag over the spark plug port and turn the engine over approximately 5 times
to distribute the oil in the cylinder. Replace the spark plug but do not reconnect it.
This will help prevent accidental or unauthorized starting.
5. Provide maintenance to the engine and generator set as described in the engine and
generator maintenance sections of this manual.
6. Cover any bare metal spots with paint or another type of rust preventative.
NEVER STORE AN ENGINE WITH FUEL IN ITS TANK INDOORS OR IN AN
ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED AREA WHERE GASOLINE FUMES COULD
REACH AN IGNITION SOURCE AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.

USE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS
Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to run them. Some motors,
particularly split-phase motors are very difficult to start and requires 5 to 7 times as much current to
start them as it does to run them. Repulsion-induction type motors are the easiest to start and
normally require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them as to run them.
Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to start them as to run
them. This is true whether they are the repulsion-induction type motor, capacitor type motor, or the
split-phase type motor.
The other factors that influence the amount of current needed to start a motor are:
1. The type of load connected to the motor. If the electric motor is connected to a hard
starting load such as an air compressor it will require more starting current. If the same
electric motor is connected to a light load such as a fan or power saw it will require less
starting current.
2. The brand or design of the electric motor. The expected starting current for a particular size
motor will vary depending on the brand of the electric motor as well as the type of electric
motor (Split Phase, capacitor, Repulsion-induction type, etc…).
3. The condition of the electric motor. A clean motor with free turning bearings will require
less starting currents than a similar type motor that is dirty and the bearings are not as free
turning as they used to be.

SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING
Listed below are the more simple solutions to some of the more common problems that are reported
to the Service Department at Baldor Generators. These troubleshooting solutions are meant to be an
aid for a person who has minimal electrical knowledge and experience. More in-depth, detailed
troubleshooting information for a person more knowledgeable and experienced in electricity can be
obtained by contacting the Technical Service Department at Baldor Generators by calling (920) 236-
4200.
BEFORE BEGINNING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE GENERATOR SET,
DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG (IF APPLICABLE) AND THE BATTERY
(IF APPLICABLE) AND ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL DOWN.
EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING
THIS GENERATOR SET.
NO OUTPUT
1. Bad Voltage regulator fuse. Check the voltage regulator fuse and replace it if necessary.
2. The generator speed is too slow. If the generator is turning too slow the generator set will
produce low or no output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed on the
nameplate.
3. Broken wires or loose connections. Broken wires or loose connections can cause the
generator set to have low or no output voltage. Check all wiring for broken wires and
bad/loose connections.
4. Bad circuit breaker. If a circuit breaker opens up and will not reset, or the reset button is
not free-floating, your generator will not produce power out of all the receptacles. Check for
continuity across each circuit breaker with a continuity tester or ohmmeter (The wires must
be removed from the circuit breaker prior to checking it).
5. Loss of residual magnetism. Loss of residual magnetism will not allow the generator's
excitation system to build up and thus the generator set will not produce any power. To 'Flash'
the generator set, (restore residual magnetism) follow these steps:
A. Disconnect exciter winding leads F1 and F2 from the voltage regulator.
B. Start the generator set.
C. With the generator set running, apply 12VDC from a wet cell battery (Automotive type) to
the F1 and F2 exciter winding leads for 1 second.

E. Restart the unit and check for voltage output.
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN USING THE ALTERNATE METHOD FOR
FLASHING THE GENERATOR AS YOU WILL BE WORKING AROUND FAST,
ROTATING COMPONENTS ALONG WITH LIVE WIRES AND BARE CONNECTIONS.
LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT
Possible Problems:
1. Generator speed too slow. If the generator is turning too slow, the generator set will
produce low or no output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed specified
on the nameplate.
2. Broken wires or loose connections. Broken wires or loose connections can cause the
generator set to have low or no output voltage. Check all wiring for broken wires and
bad/loose connections.
HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT
Possible Problems:
1. Generator speed too fast. If the generator is turning too fast the generator set will produce
high output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed specified on the
nameplate.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Effective August 1, 2003
Unless otherwise provided, Baldor generators are warranted against defects in Baldor workmanship and materials for a period of time as
set forth in the Warranty Period chart below. If a Baldor product is defective due to Baldor workmanship or materials and the defect
occurs during the warranty period, then Baldor will either repair the product or replace it with a new one, whichever Baldor believes to be
appropriate under the circumstances. Service for warranty issues regarding any Baldor Generators Products Warranty is available by
contacting Baldor Generators’ Customer Service Department in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. A list of Baldor’s generator repair facilities may be
obtained by contacting Baldor Generators at: Customer Service, Baldor Generators, 3815 Oregon Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54902,
920-236-4200 (telephone), 920-236-4219 (facsimile). All Baldor products requiring warranty service shall be transported or shipped freight
pre-paid, at the risk of the party requiring warranty service, to a Baldor Generator repair facility, or to Baldor Generators’ Customer
Service Department in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Written notification of the alleged defect in addition to a description of the manner in which
the Baldor generator is used, and the name, address and telephone number of the party requiring warranty service must be included.
Baldor is not responsible for removal and shipment of the Baldor product to the service center or for the reinstallation of the Baldor

*Labor coverage for warrantable repairs is provided for the applicable period not to exceed published rates as contained in the Baldor
Generators Warranty Policy. Mileage is allowed only for permanent installations not to exceed published rates as contained in the Baldor
Generators Warranty Policy.
Proof of purchase date is required for all Portable and Towable products to qualify for any warranty consideration. Serial number and model
number will be required for all warranty work.
For all other products, a Start-up Inspection Form / Warranty Registration must be completed in its entirety and submitted to Baldor
Generators within 30 days of start-up to qualify for any warranty consideration.
Owner’s Responsibilities:
The owner is obligated to operate and maintain the generator in accordance with the recommendations published by Baldor Generators in the
Operator’s Manual for the generator. The owner is responsible for the costs associated with maintenance and any adjustments that may be
required.
The owner is responsible for payment of any of the following expenses that might be incurred as a result of a failure under the terms of this
warranty:
1. Rental equipment used to replace the equipment being repaired.
2. Telephone or other communication expenses.
3. Living and travel expenses of persons performing service, except as specifically included within the terms of
specific warranty.
4. The premium costs for overtime labor requested by the owner.
5. All parts transportation costs.
All warranty claims must be submitted to a Baldor Generator repair facility prior to the expiration of the warranty period. Baldor Generators
shall have no responsibility or liability for any defect, latent or otherwise, discovered after the expiration of the warranty period provided
herein. Extended warranties are available for certain Baldor products. These warranties are described in Baldor’s catalog and other sales
literature. Extended warranties are subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty as modified by the additional terms of the
extended warranty.
Limitations:
Baldor Generators is not responsible for the repair of generators required because of normal wear, accident, misuse, abuse, improper
installation, lack of maintenance, unauthorized modifications or improper storage.
Normal Wear: This warranty will not cover repair where normal use has exhausted the life of a part or generator. It should be remembered
that the service life of any generator is dependent on the care it receives and the conditions under which it has to operate. Some applications
are very often used in dusty or dirty conditions, which can cause what appears to be excessive wear. Such wear, when caused by dirt, dust,
grit or other abrasive material, which has entered the generator because of improper maintenance, is not covered by Warranty.
For all product lines, the engine manufacturer warrants engine systems. Contact Baldor Generators for current engine warranties.
