22. CAuTion: This generator is not
intended to power sensitive electronic
equipment* without the addition of an
appropriate line conditioner and surge
protector (both not included). Sensitive
electronic equipment should be operated
on approved inverter type generators or
pure sine wave generators.
13. Do not cover the engine or equipment
during operation.
14. Keep the equipment, engine, and
surrounding area clean at all times.
15. Use the equipment, accessories, etc., in
accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular
type of equipment, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the equipment for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
If the plugged in product operates
abnormally or unusually slow,
immediately stop using the generator
as a power source. Always read and
adhere to the instruction manual of the
product to be powered, to make sure that
it can be safely and efficiently powered
by a portable generator.
16. Do not operate the equipment with
known leaks in the engine’s fuel system.
note: When using a generator to
provide home standby electricity, a
transfer switch (sold separately) is
needed to prevent back feeding power
into the utility line.
17. This product contains or, when used,
produces a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.)
Connections for standby power to a
building electrical system must be made
by a qualified electrician. The connection
must isolate the generator power from
utility power, and must comply with all
applicable laws and electrical codes.
18. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must
be cleaned up immediately. Dispose
of fluids and cleaning materials as per
any local, state, or federal codes and
regulations. Store oil rags in a bottom-
ventilated, covered, metal container.
WARninG: Improper connections to
a building electrical system can allow
electrical current from the generator
to backfeed into the utility lines. Such
backfeed may electrocute utility company
workers or others who contact the
lines during a power outage, and the
generator may explode, burn, or cause
fires when utility power is restored.
Consult the utility company or a qualified
electrician.
19. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts. Do not reach over or across
equipment while operating.
20. Before use, check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the equipment’s operation.
if damaged, have the equipment
serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained
equipment.

If an appliance begins to operate
abnormally, becomes sluggish or
stops suddenly, turn it off immediately.
Disconnect the appliance, and determine
whether the problem is the appliance, or
if the rated load capacity of the generator
has been exceeded.

ensure that the safety of the equipment
is maintained. Do not attempt any
service or maintenance procedures
not explained in this manual or any
procedures that you are uncertain about
your ability to perform safely or correctly.
Substantial overloading will open the
circuit breaker. Exceeding the time limit
for maximum power operation or slightly
overloading the generator may not switch

5. If you are using one extension cord
for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum
to determine the required minimum
cord size.
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord.
(see Table A.)
2. As the distance from the supply
outlet increases, you must use a
heavier gauge extension cord. Using
extension cords with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and
possible tool damage.
6. If you are using an extension cord
outdoors, make sure it is marked with
the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to
indicate it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualified electrician before using it.
(see Table A.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the
wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord
can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord.
8. Protect the extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat, and
damp or wet areas.
(see Table A.)
4. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length,
make sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required.

2. Don’t overload the generator. The
total wattage used by the appliances
should be less than the output rating
of the generator. If you put too many
appliances on the generator, it could
seriously damage the appliances
and electronics. Overloading the
generator could also cause fires in
the power cord. This generator is
rated at 3050 / 3500 Watts.

• Do not apply a heavy load to the
equipment.
3. After the first 20 hours of use:
• Change the engine oil.

minutes before pushing in the circuit
protector to resume operation.
8. Disconnect all loads from the
generator before shutting off. To
prevent accidents, turn off the engine
and disconnect its spark plug wire
after use. Wait for the engine to
cool, clean external parts with clean
cloth, then store the equipment out
of children’s reach according to the
Storage instructions in this manual.

owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
5. service and Maintenance
• As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance
of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual.
HFT recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your engine, but HFT cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
Component parts which are not scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance or are scheduled only for regular
inspection to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”
are warranted for the warranty period. Any warranted part
which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance
is warranted for the period of time up to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. Any replacement part,
provided it is equivalent in durability and performance, may
be used in performance of maintenance or repairs. The
owner is responsible for commissioning a qualified technician/
mechanic to perform all required maintenance, as outlined
in the Inspection, Cleaning, and Maintenance section in this
manual.
• As the engine owner, you should, however, be aware that
HFT may deny you warranty coverage if your engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or
unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for shipping your engine to a HFT
warranty station as soon as a problem exists. Contact the
