Porter-Cable PH350IS instruction manual To Start the Engine

Page 13

Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over-

heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.

You MUST unplug any load from the generator before starting to prevent permanent damage to any appliances.

TO START THE ENGINE

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an

odorless and deadly gas.

1.Open the fuel shut-off valve on engine.

2.Move the choke control located on the engine to "CHOKE" position.

NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines. Make sure choke is in the "RUN" position on warm engine starts.

4.Move the ON/OFF switch on engine to the ON position.

5.Grasp handle on rope starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull rope with a rapid full

arm stroke. Let rope rewind slowly. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: IF ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS TOO LOW, ENGINE WILL NOT START. CHECK OIL LEVEL AND ADD IF NECESSARY.

6.When engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "RUN" position.

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize.
