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.

NOTICE 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 the fuel valve (A) to the “On” position.

A

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.

NOTICE 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.

NOTICE 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.

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 (152 cm) of clearance on all sides of generator including overhead.

•It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442, maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have similar laws.

Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

•Replacement parts must be the same and installed in the same position as the original parts.
