NOTE: Many appliances such as saws or drills draw more
current than indicated on the manufacturer’s nameplate when
under severe load.
STARTING THE GENERATOR SET
Before attempting to start the generator set, ensure that all
instructions given in previous sections have been followed
completely.
• Check oil and fuel levels.
• Turn the fuel shut-off valve on.
• Move the choke lever on the front of the engine on. Note:
the choke may not be required when the engine is warm
or in high ambient temperatures.
RECOIL START
• Move engine On/Off switch to On position.
• Slowly pull recoil cord until resistance is felt and then pull
firmly. Let the recoil rewind slowly to avoid damage.
• Return the choke to the original position.
CAUTION: This generator is equipped with an oil protection
system. When oil levels are too low for safe operation the
engine will shut down and/or will not start until the oil level is
corrected.
OPERATING THE GENERATOR SET
Once started, allow the engine to stabilize for approximately 3
minutes. Check that the circuit breakers and the GFCI
receptacles are not tripped.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR SET
Unplug all appliances and let the engine run unloaded for a
couple of minutes. Turn the engine On/Off switch to the Off
position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the Off position.
CAUTION: Never use the choke to stop the engine.
