STARTING
1. Check oil level and fuel.
2. Remove all electrical loads from the
generator.
3. Set the switch to the ON position.
4. Move the choke/run switch to the
choke position.
5. Pull the starter rope with a brisk
smooth motion.
6. Move the choke/run switch to the
run position.
7. After each start up, allow engine to
run 2-3 minutes with no load.
Engine speed is
preset to provide
proper output voltage. Never attempt to
modify or adjust engine speed or output
voltage.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
After initial start-up, the engine should
be broken in according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to the
engine manual for the proper break-in
procedure.
GENERATOR SHUT OFF
1. Remove all electrical load devices
from the generator.
2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3
minutes with no electrical loads.
3. Set the switch to the OFF position.
This will stall the engine.
!
CAUTION
4. Verify that the generator has
completely stopped.
5. Allow the unit to cool before
installing any covers.
LOAD DEVICES
1. The 120 volt receptacles are rated
for 15 amps.
2. Total combined load through any
combination of receptacles must not
exceed the rated load limits of the
generator.
NOTE: Power draw can be calculated
by multiplying volts and amps. The
resulting number is wattage.
Never exceed the posted maximum
wattage for the generator or any
individual receptacle. Refer to owner's
manuals and product tags to determine
the wattage of electrical load devices.
Long power cords and extension cords
draw additional power. Keep cords at
minimum possible length.
Precautions must be taken to prevent
electrical back feeding into utility
systems. This requires isolation of the
electrical system. To isolate the electrical
system, perform the following
procedures:
1. Turn off the main electrical system
switch prior to connecting the
generator.
2. In accordance with national and local
standards, a double throw transfer
switch must be installed in the
system.
Always shut off
main power prior
to temporary connection of the
generator to a building electrical
system.
Installation of the
generator as a
backup electrical source must be
performed by a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrical technician.
