8.	After each start up, allow engine to
	run 2-3 minutes with no load.

Engine speed is

! CAUTION preset to provide proper output voltage. Never attempt to modify or adjust engine speed or output voltage.

ENGINE BREAK-IN

The first 25 hours of operation is considered the break-in period for the engine. During this time, use a 30:1 mix of gas and oil and operate at less than 75% of the load limit.

GENERATOR SHUT OFF

1.Remove all electrical load devices from the generator.

2.Allow the engine to run for 2-3 minutes with no electrical loads.

3.Turn engine switch off by pressing the bottom of the switch. This will stall the engine.

4. Set the fuel switch to the closed (horizontal) position.

5.Verify that the generator has completely stopped.

6.Allow unit to cool before placing in storage.

LOAD DEVICES

1.The 120 volt receptacles (type NEMA 5-15) are rated for 13 amps on 60 Hz models (GN950). The 220 volt receptacles are rated for 10 amps on 50 Hz models (GN800).

2.Total combined load through any combination of receptacles must not exceed rated load limits of generator.

3.Reduce load if

AC Protector (circuit breaker) turns off. Press

button to reset.

NOTE: Power draw can be calculated by multiplying volts and amps. The resulting number is wattage.

Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for the generator or any individual receptacle. Refer to owner's

manuals and product tags to determine the wattage of electrical load devices.

Long power cords and extension cords draw additional power. Keep cords at minimum possible length. See chart above.

Maintenance

INFREQUENT USAGE

If the generator is used infrequently, starting difficulty may occur. To help prevent difficulty starting, the generator should be run for approximately 30 minutes per week.

STORAGE

If the generator is not to be used for extended periods of time, the following pre-storage procedures should be performed:

1.Drain all fuel from the tank, lines, and carburetor.

2.Remove spark plug. Clean off any carbon deposits. Check for discoloration – plug should be tan in color. Check the gap; it should be 0.7 – 0.8mm.

3.Pour approximately one teaspoon of oil into spark plug hole.

4.Pull starter cord several times to spread the oil throughout the cylinder.

5.Slowly pull the starter cord until resistance is felt. This indicates that the piston is moving upward on the
