Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator, Use the following s_r_ instruction steps by numerical order:

I, Make sure unit is on a level sur_ce,

IMPORTANT= Failure to star_ and operate unit on a level sur_ce will c_use the unit not _o start or shut down during operation.

2.Turn the fuel valve to the "On" position (Figure 4).The fuel valve handle should be vertical (pointing toward _he ground) for fuel to flow.

Stopping the Engine

I.Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel

recep_cles. NEVER star_ or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned on.

2.Put idle control switch in "OFF' position.

3.Let engine run at no-load for 30 seconds _o stabilize in_ernal _empera_uras of engine and generator.

4.Turn engine off"according to instructions given in engine owner's manual.

S.Move fuel valve to "OFF' position.

3.Mal__esure the Idle Control switch is in "Off" position (Figure 5).

_mBI

IDLE

4.Start the engine according to instructions given in 1:he engine owner'smanual.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but f_ils to run, or if unit shu_s down during opera_ion, mal_ sure unit is on a level su_ace and check for proper oil level in crankcase.

This unit mm/be equipped wi_h a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greedy improve fuel economy.

When this _wltch is turned ON, the engine will only

run at i_s normal high governed engine speed when an electrical load is connected,When an electrical load is

removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With the switch off, the engine will run at _he normal high engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and stopping the engine.

Charging a Battery

Your generator has _he capability of recharging a discharged 12Volt automotive or utiliL-ystyle storage battery. DO NOT use the unit _o charge am/6Volt batteries. DO NOT use the unit _o crank an engine having a discharged battery.

DANGER

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let engine s_bilize and warm up for a few minu_es after starting,

Plug in and turn on the desired 120 and/or 240VoltAC, single phase, 60 Hz electrical loads.

DO NOT connect 240Volt loads to the 120Volt recep_cles.

DO NOT connect 3-phaseloads to the generator.

DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads _o _he generator.

DO NOT OVERLOADTHE GENERATOR, See "Don't Overload Generator" on page 13.

To recharge 12Volt bat_rles, proceed as follows:

I.Check fluid level in all bat%ery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. DO NOT use tap wa_r.
