•Grasp starter grip and pull slowly until you feel some resistance. Then pull cord out with rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return slowly. Do Not let rope “snap back” against starter.

•When engine starts, move choke lever to “Half” choke position until the engine runs smoothly and then to “No” choke position. If engine falters, move choke lever to “Half” choke position until the engine runs smoothly and then to “No” choke position.

NOTE: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls, move the choke lever to “No” choke position and pull starter rope again.

NOTE: If the engine fails to start after three (3) pulls, check for proper oil level in crankcase. Unit is equipped with a low oil shutdown system.

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

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 Hertz electrical loads.

•Do Not connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles.

•Do Not connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

•Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

•DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at one time. This total should not be greater than the rated wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. See “Don’t Overload the Generator” on page 10.

Stopping the Engine

•Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. Never start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

•Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and generator.

•Move engine control switch to Off (o) position.

• Close the fuel shut–off valve.

COLD WEATHER

OPERATION

Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your Generac generator may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the crankcase breather system.

In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a temporary shelter:

•Cut off all flaps

•Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between open side of box and nearest object.

•Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.

•Start unit, then place box over it.

IMPORTANT: Remove shelter when temperature is above 40°F [4°C].

For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:

•Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed, as shown in Figure 7. Please note that the unit shown in this figure is a typical unit and may not exactly portray your unit.
