Product Manual

CAUTION: Substantial overloading will open the circuit breaker.

Exceeding the time limit for maximum power operation or slightly

overloading the generator may not swi

tch the circuit breaker or circuit

protector OFF, but will shorten the service life of the generator.

AC Operation

 Start the engine.

 Switch the AC circuit breaker ON.

 Plug in the appliance.

Most motorized appliances require more than their rated power for startup. Do not exceed the

current limit specified for any one receptacle.

NOTE: The generator features an AC non-fuse circuit breaker to protect the

ac circuit in case of an overload. Should an overload occur, the breaker will

“trip” to its “off” position, causing the generator to automatically shut down.

In this case wait a few minutes and then, reset the circuitry system by turning

the circuit breaker to its “on” position. Restart the generator and continue

powering the remaining tools and equipment.

High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture may be too rich due to the lower air density.

In that case, performance will decrease and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will

also foul the spark plug and make it difficult to start the engine. Operation at an altitude that differs

from that at which this engine was certified for extended periods of time may increase emissions.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you

always operate your generator at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have your dealer perform

this carburetor modification. This engine, when operated at high altitude with the carburetor

modifications for high altitude use, will meet each emission standard throughout its useful life. Even

with carburetor modification, engine horsepower may decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot
