BEFORE OPERATION

GROUNDING THE GENERATOR

The National Electric Code requires that this product be properly connected to an appropriate earth ground to help prevent electric shock. A ground terminal connected to the frame of the generator has been provided for this purpose. Connecting a length of heavy gauge (12 AWG min.) copper wire between the generator Ground Terminal and a copper rod driven into the ground should provide a suitable ground connection. However, consult with a local electrician to insure that local codes are being adhered to.

GROUND TERMINAL LOCATION:

Ground

Terminal

Do not use a pipe carrying combustible material as the ground source.

LUBRICATION

DO NOT attempt to start this engine without filling the crank case with the proper amount and type of oil. Your generator has been shipped from the factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit without oil can damage the engine.

Fill the engine with oil according to the operator manual. For units with a dipstick, fill oil to the proper level. Units without a dipstick should be filled to the top of the opening of the oil fill.

LOW OIL SENSOR

The unit is equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil level becomes lower than required, the sensor will activate a warning device or stop the engine.

If generator shuts off and the oil level is within specifications, check to see if generator is sitting at an angle that forces oil to shift. Place on an even surface to correct this. If engine fails to start, the oil level may not be sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch. Make sure the sump is completely full of oil.

FUEL

Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive gasoline. Regular grade gasoline may be used provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump octane). We recommend always using a fuel stabilizer. A fuel stabilizer will minimize the formulation of fuel gum deposits during storage. The fuel stabilizer can be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank, or into the gasoline in a storage container.

Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/4 inch below the top of the fuel tank. This will allow expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.
