3.To start the Engine manually, using the Starter Handle (41A) and Starter Rope (40A), insert the Ignition Key (65) and turn the Engine Ignition (2) to its “RUN” po- sition. Grasp the Starter Handle (41A) on the Starter Rope (40A) and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Allow the Rope to rewind slowly. Then, pull the Handle with a rapid, full arm stroke. Allow the Rope to rewind slowly. If necessary, repeat this procedure until the Engine starts.
4.When the Engine starts, slowly move the Choke Lever (21A) to its “RUN” position.
(See Figure E.)
5.IMPORTANT: Allow the Generator to run at no load for five minutes after each
To Connect Electrical Loads:
1.Start the Engine, and allow the Engine and Generator to run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical load.
2.
WARNING! Connect 120 VAC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the four 120 VAC Outlets (5). Connect 240 AC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the one 240 VAC Outlet (6). Connect 12 VDC appliances, tools, and equipment only to the 12 VDC Terminal (7). (See Figure C.)
3.
CAUTION! Never exceed the rated capacity for this Generator, as serious dam- age to the Generator and/or appliances, tools, and equipment could result from an overload. Starting and running wattage requirements should always be calculated when matching this Generator’s wattage capacity to the appliance, tool, or equip- ment.
4.Most appliances, tools, and equipment will list on the motor nameplate the starting and running voltage and amperage requirements. Use the following formula to convert voltage and amperage to wattage:
Volts x Amps = Watts (example: 120 volts x 3 amps = 360 watts)
5.To determine the approximate wattage requirement for most appliances, tools, and equipment with “inductive” type motors, multiply the wattage that was calculated by 2 times to ensure adequate Generator capacity for motor load starting current.
6.NOTE: The starting and running wattage for “resistant” loads are the same. Ex-
ample: a 100 Watt light bulb requires only 100 Watts to start. Most resistant loads will be listed in wattage.
7.Always power the largest electric motor first. Then, plug in other appliances, tools, and equipment one at a time.
a.Connect “inductive” load appliances, tools, and equipment first. Inductive loads consist of small hand tools and some small appliances. Connect the items that require the most wattage first.
b.Connect any lights next.
