Pre–Start Checks Before the engine is started, several things must first be checked.

1.Place the generator set in an open, dry, well ventilated and reasonably level location.

2.If grounding is required for your application, check to make sure your unit is grounded properly (see Section3).

3.Check the engine’s oil level and add oil if necessary to bring it to the level recommended by the engine manufacturer.

4.Check the fuel level and add fuel to within 1/2 inch of the fill tube if necessary.

5.Open the fuel valve on the fuel tank.

6.Check the fuel system for fuel leaks and repair them prior to starting the engine. Wipe up any fuel spills before starting the engine.

7.Disconnect or “turn off” all external loads.

8.Make sure all circuit breakers are set (pushed in).

9.Tighten any bolts or nuts that may have loosened due to vibration.

10.Be sure all extension cords are in good condition before starting the generator. Use only U.L. listed extension cords.

Start–Up Procedure

Electric Start

1.Move the engine’s choke lever to the “Choke/Start” position. If the engine is warm or if the ambient air temperature is high; try starting the engine without choking it.

2.Move the Control Panel Engine “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” (if equipped).

3.Engage the electric start motor.

(Push the engine’s start switch or turn the key switch fully clockwise).

4.Do not allow the starter motor to crank for more than 10 seconds at a time.

5.Allow 20 seconds between starter motor cranking attempts.

6.Once the engine has started, release the start switch and do not re–engage it.

Note: If the engine does not start after a few attempts, smell for fuel near the air cleaner. If there is a significant gasoline smell, turn the choke lever off and attempt to start the engine.

7.When the engine starts, turn the engine’s choke lever to the “OFF” position.

8.Power is now present at the receptacles.

Connect or “turn on” the loads you wish to operate.

Recoil Start

1.Move the engine’s choke lever to the “Choke/Start” position. If the engine is warm or if the ambient air temperature is high; try starting the engine without choking it.

2.Move the Control Panel Engine “ON/OFF” switch to “ON” (if equipped).

3.Pull lightly on the recoil grip until you feel significant resistance, then pull sharply. Allow the recoil to gently rewind into the recoil housing. See your engine manual for instructions specific to your unit. Do not allow the recoil rope to “snap back” into the recoil housing.

Note: If the engine does not start after turning the engine over a few times, smell for fuel near the air cleaner. If there is a significant gasoline smell coming from the air cleaner, turn the choke lever off and attempt to start the engine with the choke off.

4.When the engine starts, turn the engine’s choke lever to the “OFF” position.

5.Power is now present at the receptacles.

Connect or “turn on” the loads you wish to operate.

Stopping Procedure

1.Disconnect or “Turn Off” all loads connected to the generator set.

2.Move the Control Panel Engine “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” (if equipped).

3.Push the engine stop switch if so equipped.

OR

Turn the engine key switch to the “OFF” position.

4.Turn all fuel valves off.
