PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing

parts and for any damage which may have occurred during

shipment.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Check oil level and fuel.

2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.

3. Open fuel shut off valve (A).

4. Adjust choke (B) as necessary.

5. Set the key switch (C) to the “ON" position.

6. MANUAL START: Pull on the starter rope (D) with fast

steady pull. As the engine warms up, readjust the choke.

7. ELECTRIC START: Turn the key switch to “START”.

Release key switch after the engine starts. As the engine

warms up, readjust the choke.

APPLYING LOAD

This unit has been pretested and adjusted to handle its full

capacity. When starting the generator, disconnect all load.

Apply load only after generator is running. Voltage is

regulated via the engine speed adjusted at the factory for correct

output. Readjusting will void warranty.

SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF

1. Remove entire electrical load.

2. Let the engine run for two minutes without load.

3. Move the key switch to the “OFF” position.

4. Do not leave the generator until it has completely

stopped.

5. Close the fuel shut off valve if the engine is to be put in

storage or transported.

6. If a cover is used, do not install until unit has cooled.

7. If the generator will not be used again for an extended

time period, refer to the SERVICE AND STORAGE

section of this manual.

STARTING THE UNIT

Gasoline is very dangerous.

Serious injury or death may result from fire caused

by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.

1. Do not fill fuel tank with engine running.

2. Do not spill fuel while refilling tank.

3. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

4. Follow all instructions and warnings in the

operator manual.

This generator must not be operated without all

factory installed heat shields in place. Failure to

comply may cause the fuel tank to overheat and result

in personal injury from fire.

• Provide adequate ventilation for toxic exhaust

gases and cooling air flow.

• Do not start or run the generator in an enclosed

area, even if door or windows are open.

• Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless,

colorless, poison gas.

• Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea,

fainting or death.

Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon

each initial start-up to permit engine and generator to

stabilize.

When applying a load, do not exceed the maximum

wattage rating of the generator when using one or

more receptacles. Also, do not exceed the amperage

rating of any one receptacle.

Do not apply heavy electrical load during break-in

period (the first two to three hours of operations).
