OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the battery float charger
before starting the generator.
Starting the Engine
Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Follow
start instruction steps in numerical order:
1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.
IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level
surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during
operation.
2. Follow start instructions given in engine owner’s manual
and turn start switch on generator to “Start” position
(Figure 5).
To prolong the life of starter components, DO NOT
hold starter switch in “Start” position for more than
15 seconds, and pause for 1 minute.
NOTE: If engine starts but fails to run, or if unit shuts down
during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and
check for proper oil level in crankcase.This unit may be
equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

before stopping generator.
Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can
damage generator and/or electrical devices connected
to it.
CAUTION
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• The generator must be at least 5 feet from structures having
combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.
• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator for
adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester, it must be
maintained in effective working order.
Running engines produce heat.Temperature of
muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed
150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
