Operating the Generator, Starting the Engine

7500EXL Extended Life Generator

OPERATING THE GENERATOR

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.

This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

Starting the Engine

IMPORTANT: Always unplug the battery float charger before starting the generator.

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instruction steps by numerical order:

1.Make sure unit is on a level surface.

IMPORTANT: Failure to start and operate unit on a level surface will cause the unit not to start or shut down during operation.

2.Turn the fuel valve to the “On” position (Figure 5).The fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward the ground) for fuel to flow.

Figure 5 — Fuel Valve

Fuel Valve is shown in the On position

3.Make sure the Idle Control switch is in “Off” position (Figure 6).

Figure 6 — Idle Control Switch

4.Start the engine according to instructions given in the engine operator’s manual.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

•When starting engine, pull cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.

•NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

Connecting Electrical Loads

•Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

•Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240 Volt AC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

•DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt receptacles.

•DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

•DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

CAUTION

Exceeding generators wattage/amperage capacity can damage generator and/or electrical devices connected to it.

•See “Don’t Overload Generator”.

•Start generator and let engine stabilize before connecting electrical loads.

•Connect electrical loads in OFF position, then turn ON for operation.

•Turn electrical loads OFF and disconnect from generator before stopping generator.
