PRESTART

Operate generator on a firm, dry, and clean surface. The surface must be level. Protect generator from heavy dust, sand, dirt, rain, or snow. Do not locate generator near standing water and snow. Make sure area is well-vented.

WARNING: Only responsible adults should use generator. Never let anyone operate genera- tor without proper instructions.

Note: If oil level is too low, oil alert system will keep engine from starting (see Oil Alert System, page 5). Make sure oil level is full before starting. See Engine Oil, page 7.

Before starting the engine, disconnect all electric loads from generator.

STARTING

IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset. The throttle is locked in preset position. Do not adjust throttle. Preset position lets engine run at 3600 RPM under load. The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for generator to create correct voltage. Running engine at lower speeds will damage generator and powered items.

IMPORTANT: Never start generator with electrical loads connected. Start engine before adding electrical loads.

1.Make sure gasoline tank is full. See Fuel, page 7 for fuel information.

2.Pull choke button out (see Figure 17). This closes the choke.

Note:You may not need to close choke if engine is warm or air temperature is high.

3.Start the engine.

Turn the engine switch to the START position (see Figure 18). Hold it there until engine starts. When engine starts, let switch return to the ON position.

IMPORTANT: Do not use electric starter more than five seconds. Starter motor damage may occur. If engine fails to start, release the switch and wait ten seconds. After ten seconds, try starting again.

Note: If engine does not start, check the oil in the crankcase. Add oil as necessary. Be sure engine is on a level surface. See Oil Alert System, page 5.

4.As engine warms up, the choke will automatically open.
