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 the red fuel valve to the “On” position.

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 rapidly one time only to start engine.

If engine starts, proceed to step 7.

If engine fails to start, proceed to step 6.

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.

6.Move choke lever to “Half” choke position, and pull recoil handle twice.

• If engine fails to start, repeat steps 5 thru 6.

7.Slowly move choke lever to “Run” position. If engine falters, move choke lever to “Half” choke position until engine runs smoothly, and then to “Run” position.

IMPORTANT: If engine floods, move choke lever to “Run” position and crank until engine starts.

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. If so, oil must be at proper level for engine to start.

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.
