4.Grasp handle on rope starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope rewind slowly. Repeat if necessary.

5.When engine starts, gradually move the choke to the RUN position.

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for five minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Disconnect all electrical loads.

2.Turn engine ON/OFF switch to "OFF" position.

3.Close fuel shut-off valve lever.

ON

OFF

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

1.Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical load.

IMPORTANT: If engine speed or voltage fluctuates with a load below 250 Watts, move the choke control to the half choke position.

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to equipment:

2.Connect inductive load equipment first; inductive loads consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items that require the most wattage first. See Wattage Calculation Section in this manual.

3.Connect the lights next.

4.Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment connected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such as TV's, VCR's, microwaves, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator.

Failure to connect and operate equipment in

this sequence can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty on your generator.

Follow the wattage calculation table in the Wattage Calculation section of this manual. Overloading the generator will cause power fluctuations and can damage equipment and appliances. DeVilbiss Air Power Company will only be responsible for damage to customer's equipment when the generator is determined to be defective. This determination will only be made by an authorized representative of DeVilbiss Air Power Company and this decision will be final. DeVilbiss Air Power Company reserves the right to inspect the electrical connections at the customer's site of operation and test the generator for proper operation before any determination of liability is made. Failure to maintain the equipment or wiring for inspection will void any claim for damages by the customer. DeVilbiss Air Power Company will not be responsible for equipment damaged as a result of voltage surges, improper operation or improper installation of the generator.
