GENERATOR CAPACITY

IMPORTANT: Exceeding the rated capacity of your generator can result in serious damage to your generator and connected electrical devices. See the Wattage Calculation section in this manual to assist you in determining the appliances and tools that can be run with the wattage capacity of your generator.

BEFORE START UP

This generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the

unit without oil can damage the engine.

Always check engine oil level before every start.

Running engine low of oil or out of oil could result in serious damage to the engine.

Follow the steps listed below before starting generator:

1.Check engine oil. See the Maintenance section for correct procedure.

2.Check fuel level,

fill as required. Make sure gener-

ator is turned off and has been allowed time to cool down. Use

clean, fresh, regu- lar unleaded

gasoline with a

minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to

1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel

tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed,

poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

3.Make sure generator is grounded in accordance with local requirements.

4.All electrical loads MUST be disconnected.

Engine speed has been factory set to provide

safe operation. Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheat- ing of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to "speed-up" the engine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering at- tachments and the user.

You MUST unplug any load from the generator

before starting to prevent permanent dam- age to any appliances.

TO START THE ENGINE

1.Open the fuel shut-off valve lever.

ON

OFF

2.Move the choke control located to CHOKE position.

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

3.Move the engine ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
