Electric Generators

Operation (Continued)

PRESTART

Operate generator on a firm, dry, and clean surface. The surface must be level. Protect generator from heavy dust, sand, dirt, rain, or snow. Do not locate genera- tor near standing water and snow. Make sure area is well-vented.

Only responsible adults should use

generator. Never let anyone operate generator without proper instructions.

NOTE: If oil level is too low, oil alert system will keep engine from starting (See ÒOil Alert System,Ó page 5). Make sure oil level is full before starting. See ÒEngine Oil,Ó page 10.

Before starting the engine, disconnect all electric loads from generator.

STARTING

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset. The throttle is locked in preset position. Do not adjust throttle. Preset position lets engine run at 3600 RPM under load. The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for generator to create correct voltage. Running engine at lower speeds will damage generator and powered items.

IMPORTANT: Never start generator with electrical loads connected. Start engine before adding electrical loads.

1.Make sure gasoline tank is full. See ÒFuel,Ó page 10 for fuel information.

2.Move fuel valve lever to the ON position (See Figure 24).

3.Move choke lever fully to the left (See Figure 24) or pull choke button out (Model 3WY47 only, See Figure 25). This closes the choke.

NOTE: You may not need to close choke if engine is warm or air temperature is high.

4. Start the engine.
