OPERATION

OPERATING THE

GENERATOR

Starting the Engine

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

1.Make sure unit is on a level surface.

2.Turn fuel valve to “On” position (Figure 4). Fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward ground) for fuel to flow.

Figure 4 — Fuel Valve

Fuel Valve is shown in the On position

3.Set engine on/off switch to “On” position (Figure 5).

Figure 5 — Engine On/Off Switch

Switch is shown in

“On” position

4.Place choke lever in “Choke” position (Figure 6).

Figure 6 — Choke Lever

Choke Lever shown in “Choke” position

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

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.

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

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.
