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.

PRE-START PREPARATION

Before starting the generator, check for loose or missing
parts and for any damage which may have occurred during
shipment.
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.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Check oil level and fuel.
2. Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit.
3. Open fuel shut off valve.
4. Adjust choke as necessary.
5. Set the engine switch to the "ON" position.
6. Pull on the starter rope with fast steady pull. As the
engine warms up, readjust the choke.
Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes
upon each initial start-up to permit engine and
generator to stabilize.
English
• 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.

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.
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).

SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF

1. Remove entire electrical load.
2. Let the engine run for two minutes without load.
3. Move the engine 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.
