rotating part and can cause serious or fatal injury. Seek expert advise before performing any  
maintenance.  
WARNING: 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.  
Caution Statements  
Caution: The brass connecting tab on some 120VAC duplex receptacles have been removed. Each  
receptacle is powered by a separate generator winding. When replacing a receptacle, inspect  
the brass tab that normally links both receptacles. If it is removed, be sure to remove the  
brass tab from the replacement receptacle before it is installed. Failure to remove the tab will  
cause a direct short to the generator windings and cause possible generator damage.  
Caution: Avoid installing the generator set beside heat generating equipment, or directly below water  
or steam pipes or in the vicinity of corrosive substances or vapors, metal particles and dust.  
Heat can cause engine problems to develop and unwanted substances can cause rust or  
generator failure over time.  
Caution: Do not apply high voltage to windings in a moisturesaturated condition. Moisture can cause  
insulation breakdown, making it necessary to return the generator to the factory for repair,  
and consequent expense and loss of time.  
Caution: Use only original equipment or authorized replacement parts. Using the correct parts will  
assure continued safe operation as designed.  
Caution: Do not support the generator from the top of the wrap frame.  
Caution: Do not tamper with or change the engine speed. Engine speed is factory set to produce the  
correct voltage and output frequency.  
Caution: Never operate the engine without a muffler. The engine is designed to have the correct  
exhaust components installed and operating without these components can present a fire  
hazard, cause excessive exhaust gases and cause damage to engine. Inspect muffler  
periodically and replace if necessary.  
Caution: Operate the generator only on a level surface. Operation of the generator on an incline or  
slope may degrade engine lubrication and result in engine failure.  
Caution: Always fill fuel tank with clean fresh fuel before use. Never leave fuel in tank for long storage  
periods. Old fuel becomes stale and can damage the fuel system causing the engine not to  
start. Always drain the fuel tank after use before storage.

Receiving & Installation  
Receiving & Inspection When you receive your generator, there are several things you should do immediately.  
1. Observe the condition of the shipping container and report any damage immediately to  
the commercial carrier that delivered your system.  
2. Verify that the part number of the system you received is the same as the part number  
listed on your purchase order.  
3. If the system is to be stored for several weeks before use, be sure that it is stored in a  
location that conforms to published storage temperature and humidity specifications.  
Lifting the Generator  
When lift or hoist equipment is used to lift the generator and move it to position, be careful not to  
contact overhead wires or other obstacles. The generator weighs between 170 and 200 lbs.  
Use proper lift equipment and methods to avoid injury. Lift only by the tubular metal frame.  
Figure 3-1 PG6000 Generator  
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.  
2. Start the generator set and allow it to run out of fuel.  
3. Close all the fuel valves.  
Note: An alternative to draining the fuel from a gasoline engine is adding a fuel stabilizer, 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.  
4. Drain the used oil from the engine’s crankcase and refill it with clean oil.  
5. Remove the spark plugs and pour1 oz. of clean engine oil into each cylinder. Put a rag  
over each spark plug port and pull the starting cord approximately 5 times to distribute  
the oil in the cylinder.  
6. Replace the spark plug(s) but do not connect the plug wires. This will help prevent  
accidental or unauthorized starting.  
7. Provide maintenance to the engine and generator set as described in the engine and  
generator maintenance sections of this manual.  
8. Cover any bare metal spots with paint or another type of rust preventative.  
WARNING: 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.  
MN2418  
Receiving & Installation 3-1  
 
 
Physical Location  
The mounting location of the system is important. It should be installed in an area that is  
protected from direct harmful gases or liquids, dust, metallic particles, shock and vibration. It can  
only be installed in an outdoor location so the exhaust fumes are vented to the atmosphere. This  
system must never be installed inside an enclosed building, home, shop or garage etc.  
Several other factors should be carefully evaluated when selecting a location for installation:  
1. For effective cooling and maintenance, the generator should be mounted on a flat, smooth,  
non-flammable level surface. A concrete pad is ideal and provides a secure installation.  
2. The location for the generator must be dry. Never operate a generator in an area that  
has standing water or puddles.  
3. Installation should prevent obstructions by buildup of leaves, grass, sand, snow, etc. It  
is important that the unit be operated in a reasonably clean environment.  
4
All engines give off considerable heat when running. The engine in your generator set  
uses air to keep it cool so it is important that the ambient temperature is cool and does  
not exceed 100°F (even while it is running). Where natural ventilation is inadequate a  
fan to boost circulation should be used.  
5. Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines are extremely poisonous. Never  
operate an engine indoors.  
WARNING: Exhaust fumes/gases are extremely dangerous and can cause severe illness or death. Never  
breath exhaust fumes produced by a running engine. Only run the engine outdoors where  
ventilation is plentiful. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless and  
extremely dangerous gas that can cause unconsciousness or death. Symptoms of carbon  
monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, vomiting or  
incoherence. If you or anyone else experiences these symptoms, get out into fresh air  
immediately. Stop the engine and do not restart the engine until it has been inspected and if  
necessary repaired or reinstalled in a well ventilated area.  
6. 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.  
Installation  
The generator is completely assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory before it is shipped to  
you. External connections required at the time of installation are:  
1. Electrical Connections.  
2. Ground Connection.  
Note: The generator is shipped dry. This means no oil is in the engine crankcase and no battery  
is installed. You must refer to the engine manual and obtain the correct type and quantity  
of engine motor oil and the correct battery (if equipped for electric start).  
After installation, the post installation checks must be performed prior to starting the engine.  
After these checks have been performed and the system operation is verified to be good, refer to  
Section 5 Troubleshooting and Maintenance for periodic checks that must be performed at  
scheduled intervals to ensure continued operation with minimal problems.  
3-2 Receiving & Installation  
MN2418  
 
Electrical Connections All load connections are made at the panel using electrical cords with the proper  
mating plug for the receptacle being used. More than one receptacle can be used as long as the  
total load does not exceed the continuous rating of the generator.  
WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician  
has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that  
connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric  
utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate  
the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating.  
Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility  
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.  
Use correct size insulated wire to connect the generator to the load. The gauge of the wire will  
depend on the distance to the load, the permissible voltage drop at the load, and the current  
required by the load. If you are not sure of the gauge wire needed for your application, consult a  
competent electrician. Using wire that is too small can result in fire hazard. Also, be sure the  
wire has the appropriate ratings for insulation and environment conditions.  
The correct mating connector must be used to fit the connectors provided on the operator panel

Frame Ground Connection  
WARNING: Be sure the system is properly grounded before applying power. Do not apply AC power  
before you ensure that grounds are connected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal  
injury. NEC requires that the frame and exposed conductive surfaces (metal parts) be  
connected to an approved earth ground. Local codes may also require proper grounding of  
generator systems.  
The NEC requires that the frame and exposed metal surfaces be at local ground reference  
potential to avoid electrical shock hazard. A local ground reference may require a driven earth  
ground conductor at the generator installation site. Make the ground connection as shown in  
earth at least 8 feet or as necessary to reach the water table.

Use of Electric Motor Loads  
Electric motors require much more current (amperes) to start them than to keep them running.  
Some motors, particularly splitphase motors are very difficult to start and require 5 to 7 times  
more current to start them. Repulsioninduction type motors are the easiest to start and normally  
only require 2 to 3 times as much current to start them.  
Most fractional horsepower motors take about the same amount of current to start them and  
keep them running. This is true whether they are the repulsioninduction type motor, capacitor  
type motor, or the splitphase type motor.  
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 heater 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, Repulsioninduction 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.  
Optional Wheel Kit PDG2 2 Wheel Dolly Kit; and PDG4 4 Wheel Dolly Kit  
An optional 2 or 4 wheel dolly kit is available for portable generators. If you have purchased one  
of these kits, refer to MN2409 for the installation instructions.

WARNING: Never connect this generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician  
has installed an approved transfer switch. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that  
connection of a generator to any electrical circuit normally powered by means of an electric  
utility must be connected by means of approved transfer switch equipment so as to isolate  
the electrical circuit from the utility distribution system when the generator is operating.  
Failure to isolate the electrical circuits by such means may result in injury or death to utility  
power workers due to backfeed of electrical energy onto the utility lines.  
AC Circuit Breakers Provide overcurrent protection for the generator output. When tripped, the plunger (in  
center of breaker) will extend out about 3/8 inch. Remove the loads, push the plunger into  
the breaker to reset the breaker. Correct any overloads then restore the loads.  
Receptacles Receptacles are provided to allow easy connection of electrical loads. Never connect this  
generator to any buildings electrical system unless a licensed electrician has installed an  
approved transfer switch. Multiple receptacles may be used at the same time provided the total  
electrical load does not exceed the generators rated output.  
120Volts PG6000 has 2 outlets each rated 125VAC at 20 Amperes.  
(NEMA 520R Duplex receptacle125VAC at 20 Amperes).  
240 Volts Twist lock NEMA L1430R receptacle rated 250Volts at 30 Amperes.  
Note: The nominal voltage produced by the generator at each receptacle is 120VAC or 240VAC.  
PreStart Checks Before the engine is started, several things must first be checked.  
1. Place the generator set in an open, dry, well ventilated and reasonably level location.  
2. If grounding is required for your application, check to make sure your unit is grounded  
properly (see Section3).  
3. Check the engine’s oil level and add oil if necessary to bring it to the level  
recommended by the engine manufacturer.  
4. Check the fuel level and add fuel to within 1/2 inch of the fill tube if necessary.  
5. Open the fuel valve on the fuel tank (and on the engine if installed).  
6. Check the fuel system for fuel leaks and repair them prior to starting the engine. Wipe  
up any fuel spills before starting the engine.  
7. Disconnect or “turn off” all external loads.  
8. Make sure all circuit breakers are set (pushed in).  
9. Tighten any bolts or nuts that may have loosened due to vibration.  
10. Be sure all extension cords are in good condition before starting the generator.  
Use only U.L. listed extension cords and connectors.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance  
Maintenance  
This manual contains only very minimal engine maintenance instructions. Refer to the engine  
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for specific engine maintenance instructions for your generator  
set. Any maintenance instructions or recommendations in the engine owner’s manual take  
precedence over any of the following general recommendations.  
General:  
1. Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Replace all defective components immediately.  
2. Inspect and replace any fuel line that shows signs of deterioration.  
3. Inspect all fuel clamps to ensure they are tight.  
4. Make sure the fuel cap fits snugly on the fuel tank and that the fuel tank does not leak.  
5. Inspect the external wire cables and connectors used with the generator set for cuts,  
frayed insulation, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged parts before use.  
6. The engine should be checked for proper speed setting(s).  
Prior to adjusting the engine speed, turn the auto idler switch to “OFF” (if present).  
Make sure that the auto idler magnet does not touch the throttle lever of the engine  
when running.  
a. Disconnect all electrical loads and start the engine.  
b. Adjust the engine speed to 3720 RPM (62 Hz) with no load speed.  
Engine:  
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 operating hours. Maintain the proper oil  
level.  
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.  
5. Clean the cooling fins on the engine to keep the engine’s heat dissipation potential at  
it’s maximum.  
6. Inspect and clean all governor and carburetor linkages so they operate properly.  
7. Inspect the recoil starting rope for any damage and replace it if necessary (if  
applicable).  
8. Clean the trash screen around the recoil starter or other cooling air intake.  
Alternator: ( also called Generator End)  
This generator set must be run at its proper speed to obtain the correct electrical power at its  
output. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The engine  
governor is designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the  
electrical load is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and 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.  
1. Clean the generator set and remove any and all dust, dirt, or other foreign material.  
2. Inspect and clean the cooling air intake and exhaust louvers of the generator end.  
Make sure they are clean. Remove dirt or any buildup that may restrict the cooling air  
flow.  
3. Clean the generator set and its components with a damp cloth or sponge.  
Never use a water hose or pressure washer as this may damage electrical  
components.  
4. Inspect and replace any control panel components that are broken or not working  
properly (receptacles, circuit breakers, switches, etc.)
