BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OPERATING YOUR
GENERATOR, PLEASE CALL THE GENERATOR H ELPLINE AT
Add Oil:
=Place generator on a level surface and remove dipstick from extended oil fill tube. Use SAE 30 detergent oil classified "For Service SC, SD, SE, SF, SG." SAE
RECOMMENDED SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
if engine is warm, close the choke only part way or leave it fully open° A warm engine needs less choking than a cold engine.
•Set the engine ignition switch (Fig. 7) to ON
=Crank engine. Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until you feel some resistance. Let rope return slowly, then pull cord out with rapid full arm stroke. Let rope return slowly Do not let rope "snap back" against starter. Repeat until engine starts (Fig. 8).

•Use this generator to operate 120',240volts, single phase, 60 Hz, AC lighting, appliance, tool and motor loads
°DO NOT connect 240 volts to the 120 volts duplex or 120 volts, 20 and
•DO NOT connect any
,.DO NOT connect any 50 Hz loads to the generator
,,Add up the rated watts of all lights, tool, appliance and motor loads you are powering at one time This total should NOT be greater than (a) the generator's rated wattage capacity, or (b) the circuit breaker rating of the receptacle supplying power See "Don't Overload the Generator" on Page 8
