Low Oil Shutdown

Your Craftsman generator engine is equipped with Low Oil Shutdown. Low Oil Shutdown is a safety device designed to protect your engine from damage in the event the oil level in the crankcase is low.

If while the engine is running, the oil gets low, it will automatically shut itself down and will not restart until the oil is added. If the oil is low before start-up, the genera- tor will not start until oil is added.

NOTE: The Low Oil Shutdown mechanism is very sensi- tive. You must fill the engine to the full mark on the dipstick to inactivate this safety device.

Gasoline

Your generator engine is 4 cycle. Use unleaded fuel only. Never mix oil with gasoline.

CAUTION: Never fill fuel tank completely. Fill tank to 1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to provide space for fuel expansion. Wipe any fuel spillage from engine and equipment before starting engine.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a mini- mum of 85 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. If unleaded fuel is not available, leaded fuel may be used.

To Start Your Generator

Make sure fuel shutoff valve is turned to the open position.

CLOSE

•Crank engine.

Electric Starting: Press starter switch to the start position. When the engine is started the switch will remain in the run position until the switch is turned off.

OFF RUN START

Manual Starting: Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull cord rapidly to overcome com- pression, prevent kickback and start engine.

•When engine starts, gradually move choke lever to “Full Run Position.”

•If the engine fails to start after (3) pulls, move the choke position and pull starter rope again.

•For hot engine starts make sure choke lever is in the “Full Run Position.”

Connecting Electrical Loads

•Let engine run and warm up for about five minutes after starting.

•Plug in the desired 120 or 240 volts tools.

•DO NOT connect 240 volt equipment to the 120 volt duplex receptacles.

•DO NOT connect 3-phase loads to the panel receptacles.

IMPORTANT: You should always add up the rated watts of all lights, tools and appliances you are power- ing at one time. This total should not exceed the rated capacity of you generator or circuit breaker rating of the receptacle supplying power.

Stopping The Engine

•Disconnect all electrical loads.

•Switch the start/off switch to the off position.

OFF RUN START

IMPORTANT: Never store engine with fuel in tank, indoors, or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas or where fuel fumes may reach an open flame.
