Operation

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the following start instructions:

1. Make sure unit is on a level surface.

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

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

3. Push choke lever to “Choke” position.

4. Push engine rocker switch to “On”.

5.Grasp recoil handle and pull slowly until slight resistance is felt. Then pull handle rapidly to overcome compression, prevent kickback, and start engine.

WARNING

Starter cord kickback (rapid retraction) can result in bodily injury. 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.

IMPORTANT: If excessive fuel is present in the air/fuel mixture causing a “flooded” condition, move the choke lever to “Run” ( ) position and pull the handle repeatedly until the engine starts.

6.Move choke lever to “Run” ( ) position a short distance at a time over several seconds in warm weather or minutes in cold weather. Let engine run smoothly before each change. Operate with choke in “Run” position.

WARNING

Contact with muffler area can result in serious burns.

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

•DO NOT touch hot parts and AVOID hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 feet (1.5 m) of 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.

NOTE: If the engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if the unit shuts down during operation, make sure the unit is on a level surface and check for the proper oil level in the crankcase. This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device.
