GENERAL
INFORMATION
Master portable generators are rugged and
compact. These generators use brushless
alternators for dependable, trouble-free ser-
vice. Honda gasoline engines provide long
life under heavy use. Honda engines have
overhead valves (OHV). This provides high
performance with lower fuel consumption.
These engines are governed to maintain
engine speed of 3600 RPM under load. 3600
RPM engine speed provides 120/240V, 60
Hz power.

This generator needs cooling air to run prop-
erly. Never block free-flowing, cooling air
to generator. Overheating will occur with-
out cooling air. This will damage the gen-
erator. Keep generator at least three feet
away from any object.
DANGER: Use only in well-
vented areas. Make sure area has
plenty of free-moving, fresh, out-
side air. Never run generator in
an enclosed or confined area.
Never run generator inside occu-
pied building. Engine exhaust
contains poisonous carbon mon-
oxide gas. Overexposure will
cause loss of consciousness and
will lead to death.
Do not use generator in extremely dusty or
dirty conditions. This will severely affect its
life. Keep generator clean. Do not allow
dust, dirt, rain, or snow to collect on it.
Protect generator from outdoor elements.
WARNING: Do not use gen-
erator outdoors in rain or snow.
Do not use generator near stand-
ing water or snow. Do not use if
generator is wet or damp. Oper-
ating generator in these condi-
tions increases the risk of elec-
trocution. Severe injury or death
