OPERATING THE
G EN ERATO R
_ AUTION! Never s_rt or stop the engTnewTthelectrTc_l leads connected to die unit and wTth the
connected devices _urned ON.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrTc_l loads from the generator. Use the
following s_r_ Tnstruc_ion steps by numerTcal order:
I. Mal(e sure the Idle Control switch is Tn_Off" positTon.
2. Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 7).
3. Set the Run/Stop switch _o "Run" posTtTon(FTgure8).
4. Place the chol(e lever in the "Full" choke position
(Figure 9).
5A. For electric s_rUng, press star_ switch on genera_or
cradle until engine s_r_s. To prolong :he life of the
starter components, press the s_r_er buL_confor no
more :han I5 seconds, then pause for 30 seconds.
5B. For manual staring, grasp the recoil handle and pull
slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly
one _ime only to s_rt engine.
• If engine s_rts, proceed Co step 7.
• If engine fails to s_rt, proceed to step 6.
6. Move the choke lever to ==Half" choke position, and
pull recoil handle _vice,
• If engine fails to s_rt, repeat s_eps4 :hru 6.
7. Move choke leverto "Run" position.Ifen_ne falters,
move choke lever_o "Half' choke positionuntilthe
engineruns smoothly,and then to "Run" position.
NOTE: If engine s_ill fails to s_rt at_er 3 pulls, check for
proper oil level in crankcase. This unit is ec_uippedwith a
Low Oil Shutdown System. See engine manual.
Connecting Electrical Loads
• Let engine s_bilize and warm up for a few minu_es after
stari;ing,
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC,
single phase, 60 Hertz electrical loads.
• Do Not connec_ 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles.
• Do Not connec_ 3-phase loads _o :he generator.
• Do Not connec_ 50Hz leads to the generator.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
:he ra_ed wa_s (or amps) of all loads m be connected at
one _ime. This torsi should not be grea_er :han the rated
watl:age/amperage c_paci_ of the generator. See "Don't
Overload the Generator" on p_ge I I.
Stopping the Engine
• Unplug all electrical loads from generater panel
recep_cles. Never star_ or stop engine with electrical
devices plugged in and turned on.
• Put :he Idle Control switch in the "Off" position.
• Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds _o stabilize the
in_ernal _empera_ures of engine and genera_or.
• Move Run/Stop switch to "Stop".
• Close the fuel shu_-ofl'valve.
