6.Slowly pull on the recoil starter handle, shown in Figure 6, until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull briskly to start the engine. Gently return the cord into the generator to avoid damage to the starter or housing. Never allow the cord to snap back.

7.If the engine fails to start, repeat step 6. NOTE: After repeated attempts to start the engine, consult the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist, call 1-866-460-9437, Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time.

8.Once the engine has started and runs for about a minute, move the choke lever approximately half way towards the “open” position. Wait an additional 30 seconds and then move the choke lever completely over to the “open” position.

9.Allow this generator to run for several minutes before connecting any electrical devices.

USING THE GENERATOR

After the engine has been running for several minutes, electrical devices may be connected to this generator.

AC Usage

Electrical devices running on AC current may be connected according to their wattage requirements. The rated (running) and surge wattage for this ACDelco Model AC-G0003 5500 Surge Watts/ 5000 Running Watts Portable Generator is 5,000 and 5,500, respectively.

Model AC-G0003 Rated (Running) Wattage

5000

Model AC-G0003 Surge Wattage

5500

The rated (running) wattage corresponds to the maximum wattage a generator can output on a continuous basis.

The surge wattage corresponds to the maximum amount of power a generator can output for a short time. Many electrical devices, such as a refrigerator, require short bursts of extra power for starting and stopping fan motors, etc., in addition to their listed rated wattage. Motorized devices typically require more than their rated wattage for startup. The surge wattage ability of a generator allows for this extra power requirement.
