PORTABLE GASOLINE 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 generator near stand- ing water and snow. Make sure area is well- vented.

WARNING: Only responsible adults should use generator. Never let anyone operate genera- tor without proper instructions.

Note: If oil level is too low, oil alert system will keep engine from starting (see Oil Alert System, page 6). Make sure oil level is full before starting. See Engine Oil, page 7.

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 en- gine run at 3600 RPM under load. The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for gen- erator to create correct voltage. Running engine at lower speeds will damage genera- tor and powered items.

IMPORTANT: Never start generator with electrical loads connected. Start engine be- fore adding electrical loads.

1.Make sure gasoline tank is full. See Fuel, page 7 for fuel information.

2.Move fuel valve lever to the ON posi- tion (see Figure 17).

3.Move choke lever fully to the left (see Figure 17) or pull choke button out (Model RGH11000IE only, see Figure 18). 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. A. Recoil Starter

Turn engine switch to the ON position (see Figures 19 and 20). Remove slack from starter rope by lightly pulling starter grip. Next, pull starter rope briskly.

IMPORTANT: Do not let starter grip snap back against engine. Return it gen- tly. This will prevent damage to starter.

Note: If engine does not start, check the oil in the crankcase. Add oil as nec- essary. Be sure engine is on a level sur- face. See Oil Alert System, page 6.

B. Electric Starter (Models RGH5500IE,

RGH7500IE, and RGH11000IE Only)

Turn the engine switch to the START position (see Figure 20). Hold it there until engine starts. When engine starts, let switch return to the ON position.

IMPORTANT: Do not use electric starter more than five seconds. Starter motor damage may occur. If engine fails to start, release the switch and wait ten seconds. After ten seconds, try start- ing again.

Note: If engine does not start, check the oil in the crankcase. Add oil as nec- essary. Be sure engine is on a level sur- face. See Oil Alert System, page 6.

5.As engine warms up, slowly move choke lever fully to the right (see Fig- ure 21). This opens the choke. On Model RGH11000IE, the choke will automatically open.
