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.
