ENGINE CIRCUIT BREAKER

GENERATOR

This fuse protects the battery charging cir-

cuit. A short circuit will trip the break the

fuse. The fuse will also break if you install

battery wrong. Replace fuse if engine will

not start. The fuse is located inside of the

keyswitch box.

FEATURES

The GFCI receptacle is on the control panel.

The GFCI protects you against hazardous

electrical shock caused when your body

becomes a path through which electricity

travels to reach ground. This could happen

when you touch an appliance or cord that

is ‘live’through faulty mechanism, damp or

worn insulation, etc.

engine speeds up to the preset speed required

to produce the correct voltage.

RECEPTACLE CIRCUIT

BREAKER

The circuit breakers protect the receptacles

and alternator. Overloading generator will

trip circuit breaker. A short circuit in item

being powered will also trip breaker. If this

occurs,unplugelectricalloadfromreceptacle.

Let circuit breaker cool down. Push circuit

breaker button to reset.

When protected by the GFCI, you may still

feel a shock, but the GFCI should cut it off

quickly. A person in normal health should

very small children may still be affected.

Test Procedure

Electricmotorsneedhigherstartingcurrent.

They require up to three-times their rated

wattage to start. The starting current needed

may be too high. This can cause nuisance

startelectricmotorsﬁrst.Connectadditional

items to generator after starting motors. If

this continues to happen, reduce the total

generator load.

Check the GFCI receptacle every month.

This insures it is working right.

IMPORTANT: A minimum current load

of 1 Amp is required to disengage the auto

idle solenoid and cause the engine to come

up to speed for correct voltage. Powering

items at reduced engine speed will damage

generator and powered items.

1. Push black TEST button. Red RESET

button should pop out. This should trip

GFCI, resulting in no electrical power

at receptacle. Verify this by plugging

test lamp with good bulb into recep-

tacle. If lamp does not work, GFCI

receptacle is good.

ELECTRIC START

A battery is not supplied with generator.

You must provide a 12-volt, 32-amp-hour

battery. For more battery information, see

Battery, page 8.

below, shows starting watts for different

size motors. For example: an electric

motor nameplate states 5 amps at 120

volts. 5 amps x 120 volts = 600 watts

running. Multiply this ﬁgure by 3. This

will show the starting watts needed. 600

watts x 3 = 1800 watts to start. When

ﬁguring the generator load for motors,

you must use the starting watts ﬁgure.

Do not use the running watts ﬁgure.

Note: Some motors require nearly the

same wattage to run as to start. These

items include saws, drills, hair dryers,

and food mixers. See Chart 1 for typical

appliance wattage examples.

* – Always use starting watts, not running watts, when ﬁguring correct electrical load.

x – Motors of higher horsepower are not generally used.

STOPPING ENGINE

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset.

The throttle is locked in preset position. Do

not adjust throttle.

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

Continued

AND REPAIRS

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

This generator will not perform well at high

altitudes without proper adjustment. See

engine owner’s manual for details.

WARNING: Only a qualiﬁed

electrical service person should

service and repair the alternator

onthisgenerator.Useonlyfactory

approved replacement parts.

Follow the steps below to stop engine.

1. Remove all electrical loads from gen-

erator (see Disconnecting Electrical

Loads). Remove electrical loads one

at a time.

ADDING ELECTRICAL

LOADS

IMPORTANT: Do not overload generator.

Makesuretotalwattageofallelectricalloads

does not exceed rated wattage of generator.

Overloading may shorten generator life. It

could also cause internal damage to genera-

tor. Overloading will trip circuit breaker.

2. Let engine run for two or three minutes

after removing electrical loads. This

lets engine cool slightly.

CAUTION:The engine speed

is preset. The throttle is locked

in preset position. Do not adjust

throttle. Preset position lets

engine run at 3600 RPM under

load. The engine must maintain

3600 RPM for generator to create

correct voltage. Running engine

atlowerspeedswilldamagegen-

erator and powered items.

3. Turn engine switch to the OFF position

(see Figure 21).

1. Check items to be powered. Their

nameplate lists their wattage ratings.

HONDA

Note: The wattage ratings for some

electrical motors are misleading. They

may require up to three-times their

rated wattage to start. You must ﬁgure

total electrical load wattage. Make sure

total wattage of all electrical loads does

not exceed rated wattage of generator.

See Determining Electrical Load For

Generator, page 10.

OFF

START

CAUTION: Shut off generator

before performing maintenance.

ENGINE SW

IMPORTANT: Keep generator level when

servicing.Neverturngeneratorupsidedown

or stand it on end to service.

Note:Wesupplytheengineowner’smanual

with generator. Refer to that manual for

questions concerning engine maintenance

and repairs.

2. Start engine. Let engine reach full

speed.

Figure 21 - Engine Switch In OFF Position

3. Connect electrical loads one at a time.

If the load consists of electric motors,

start them ﬁrst.Always start the largest

ﬁrst. Start each motor individually.

Non-enginepartsrequirelittlemaintenance.

Keep generator clean. Use a damp cloth to

clean outside surfaces. Never use water to

clean generator. Water can cause damage to

internal parts. Use vacuum to clean air inlet

and outlet louvers of alternator.

FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

GASOLINE PORTABLE GENERATORS

DESA Specialty Products™ makes no warranty with respect to the engine and engine components not of its manufac-

ture. They are subject to warranties of their manufacturers. Honda warrants the engine. See engine owner’s manual for

engine warranty information.

DESA Specialty Products™ warrants each generator, excluding engine, of its manufacture, to be free from defects in

material and workmanship for ﬁve years from the date of ﬁrst purchase from an authorized dealer, provided that the

product has been properly installed, maintained, and operated in accordance with all applicable instructions. The bill

of sale or proof of purchase must be presented at the time a claim is made under this warranty.

This warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser. This warranty covers only the parts and labor required

to restore this unit to its proper operating condition. Warranty parts must be obtained through factory authorized deal-

ers and service centers for this product. These dealers and service centers will provide original factory replacement

parts. Failure to use original factory replacement parts voids this warranty.

This warranty does not apply to parts that are not in original condition because of normal wear and tear, or parts that

fail or become damaged as a result of misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, lack of proper maintenance, alteration,

modiﬁcation, tampering, contaminated fuels, repair using improper parts, or repair by anyone other than an authorized

dealer or service center. Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the owner. Travel, handling, transportation, and

incidental costs associated with warranty repairs are not reimbursable under this warranty and are the responsibility of

the owner.

To the full extent allowed by the law of the jurisdiction that governs the sale of the product, this express warranty

excludes any and all other expressed warranties and limits the duration of any and all implied warranties, including war-

ranties of merchantability and ﬁtness for a particular purpose to five years from the date of ﬁrst purchase, and DESA

Specialty Products’™ liability is hereby limited to the purchase price of the product and DESA Specialty Products™

shall not be liable for any other damages whatsoever including indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Some states do not allow limitation of how long an implied warranty lasts or an exclusion or limitation of incidental or

consequential damages, so the above limitation of damages may not apply to you.

This warranty provides the original purchaser with speciﬁc rights. For information regarding those rights, please con-

sult the applicable state laws.
