Operation, Before Starting the Engine | Multiquip ga-9.7HE specification

operation

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the portable generator. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the generator in the field.

Before Starting the Engine

1.Be sure to disconnect all electrical loads from the generator prior to starting the engine.

2.NEVER start the engine with the main circuit breaker in the ON position.Always place circuit breaker (Figure 11) in the OFF position before starting.

Figure 11. Main Circuit Breaker (OFF)

3.NEVER start the engine with the GFCI or AUX. circuit breakers in the ON position. Always place these circuit breakers (Figure 12) in the OFF position before starting the engine.

Starting the Engine

4.Place the choke knob (Figure 13) in the CLOSED position if starting a cold engine.

Figure 13. Choke Knob

5.Place the choke knob (Figure 13) in the OPEN position if starting a warm engine or the temperature is warm.

6.Place the generator's operation switch (Figure 14) in the ON position.

Figure 14. Operation Switch (ON)

7.Press the generator's pushbutton start switch (Figure 15) and listen for the engine to start. If the battery is not installed proceed to step 6.

NOTICE

DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end.

DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible..

9.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 13) to the OPEN position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 8.

10.Before the generator is placed into operation, run the engine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with lose components.
