Starting The Generator; Electric Start - Pro-Point 8718090 Manuel D'utilisateur

V1.0
GROUND THE GENERATOR
The generator must be properly grounded to prevent electric shocks. The generator is equipped
with a ground terminal connector. Attach a length of 10 AWG (minimum) wire to a ground rod
driven into the earth. Attached the other end to the ground terminal connector. Consult municipal
electrical codes or a qualified electrician to confirm grounding requirements.
READING THE HOUR METER
The hour meter displays three different options on its LED display (Volt-Hz-Hour).
1. Volts – The voltage of the supplied by the generator through the selected power outlets.
2. Hertz – The electrical power's frequency. Normal frequency is 60Hz.
3. Hours – The display shows the generator's running time. This is helpful for maintenance
scheduling, as it is shows the number of hours the generator has actually been operating.
4. P-Codes – When the generator has been operating for a certain amount of time, a P-Code
will appear in the LED Display:
• P25 – Reminder to change the engine oil after the first 25 hours. Ignore subsequent
appearances of this code.
• P50 – Reminder to clean the engine's air filter after change the engine oil after 50 hours.
• P100 – Reminder to change/clean the fuel filter and change both the air filter and engine
oil after 100 hours.
These codes will repeat after reaching P100.

STARTING THE GENERATOR

ELECTRIC START

1. Remove all the loads from the power outlets and switch off the AC breaker.
2. Move the fuel valve lever (I) to the ON position. When the valve lever is in the ON position,
fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor.
3. Pull the choke knob (H) to the CLOSED position. The choke is used to provide an enriched
fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened and closed by operating the
choke knob manually. The choke is usually unnecessary when
restarting a warm engine.
4. Turn the main generator key to the START position (Fig. 3-3) to start
the engine.
5. The engine should turn over and start running. If engine floods, set
the choke knob to the OPEN position, place the throttle in FAST and
attempt to restart.
6. If the choke knob was moved to the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the engine warms up.
RUNNING THE GENERATOR
1. Warm up the generator without load for 3 minutes. Switch on the AC breaker.
2. Be sure that all appliances are in good working condition before connecting them to
the generator.
3. Attach appliances, one at a time starting with the appliance with the highest current rating.
Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up. Do not exceed the
current limit specified for any one socket. See Wattage Reference Chart.
4. Turn off the generator immediately if an appliance becomes sluggish, stops suddenly or acts in
an abnormal manner. Disconnect and inspect the appliance.
5. Reduce the electric load on the circuit if the circuit protector trips. Wait a few minutes before
resuming operation.
6. If the hour meter (R) registers a voltage that is too high, stop the generator, disconnect all
appliances and examine the generator for the cause of the malfunction.
