To Start the Engine | Generac 005735-0, 005734-0 specs

Operation

The manufacturer does not recommend using any gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”). If using any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and

it must be removed from the generator during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline containing methanol. If using gasoline with alcohol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks and other abnormalities.

2.8TO START THE ENGINE

Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged into the receptacles AND devices turned on.

•Unplug all electrical loads from the unit's receptacles before starting the engine.

•Make sure the unit is in a level position.

•Open the fuel shut-off valve (Figure 16).

Never operate in an enclosed area or indoors!

NEVER use in the home, or in partly enclosed areas such as garages, even if doors and windows are open! ONLY use outdoors and far from open windows, doors, vents, and in an area that will not accumulate deadly exhaust.

•Move engine CHOKE knob outward to “Full Choke” position (Figure 18).

Figure 18 - Full Choke Position

•To start engine, press and hold the Start/Run/Stop switch in the “Start” position. The engine will crank and attempt to start. When the engine starts, release the switch to the run position.

•When the engine starts, move choke knob to “1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs smoothly and then fully in to the “Run” position. If engine falters, move choke knob back out to “1/2 Choke” position until the engine runs smoothly and then to “Run” position.

NOTE:

If engine fires, but does not continue to run, move choke lever to “Full Choke” and repeat starting instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload the generator. Also, do not overload individual panel receptacles. These outlets are protected against overload with push-to-reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read “Don’t Overload the Generator” carefully.
