Operation

2.11 STARTING PULL START ENGINES

Never start or stop engine with electrical

devices plugged into the receptacles AND
devices turned on.
• Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before
starting the engine.
• Make sure the unit is in a level position.
• OPEN the Fuel Shut-off Valve (Figure 17).
• Turn the OFF/ON/START switch to the "ON" position (6.5, 8Kw).
• Pull the choke knob outward (Figure 17); or the ON/OFF switch
to the "ON" position (3.6kW).
Figure 17 - Fuel Shut-off Valve
• To start engine, firmly grasp the recoil handle and pull slowly
until increased resistance is felt. Pull rapidly up and away.
• When engine starts, move the choke knob to the 1/2-CHOKE
position until engine runs smoothly and then fully to the RUN
position. If engine falters, move choke back out to 1/2-CHOKE
until engine runs smoothly and then to RUN.
If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke to
FULL CHOKE and repeat starting instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload
individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against
overload with push-to-reset and 2-pole type circuit breakers. If
amperage rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker
opens and electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't
Overload the Generator" carefully.

2.12 STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Shut off all loads, then unplug the electrical loads from
generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop the engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
• Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
• Move START/RUN/STOP switch to the "OFF" position (6.5, 8
or 10kW); or the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position (3.6kW).
• Close fuel valve.

2.13 LOW OIL LEVEL SHUTDOWN SYSTEM

The engine is equipped with a low oil level sensor that shuts down
the engine automatically when the oil level drops below a specified
level. If the engine shuts down by itself and the fuel tank has
enough gasoline, check engine oil level.
If the system senses a low oil level during operation, the engine
shuts down. The engine will not run until the oil has been refilled
to the proper level.

2.14 CHARGING THE BATTERY (IF EQUIPPED)

 Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen

gas while recharging. An explosive mixture will
remain around the battery for a long time after
it has been charged. The slightest spark can
ignite the hydrogen and cause an explosion.
Such an explosion can shatter the battery and
cause blindness or other serious injury.
Never permit smoking, open flame, sparks
 
or any other source of heat around a battery.
Wear protective goggles, rubber apron and
rubber gloves when working around a battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is an extremely
corrosive sulfuric acid solution that can cause
severe burns. If spill occurs flush area with
clear water immediately.
The battery shipped with the generator has been fully charged.
A battery may lose some of its charge when not in use for
prolonged periods of time. If the battery is unable to crank
the engine, plug in the 12V charger included in the accessory
box (see section "Charging the Battery"). RUNNING THE
GENERATOR WILL CHARGE THE BATTERY.
Use battery charger plug to keep the battery charged and ready for
use. Battery charging should be done in a dry location.
1. Plug charger into "Battery Charger Input" jack, located on the
control panel. Plug wall receptacle end of the battery charger
into a 120 Volt AC wall outlet (Figure 18).
2. Unplug battery charger from wall outlet and control panel jack
when generator is going to be in use.
