Operation

4.Start engine according to instructions given in engine owner’s manual.

NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls but fails to run, or if unit shuts down during operation, make sure unit is on a level surface and check for proper oil level in crankcase.

This unit may be equipped with a low oil protection device. See engine manual.

Connecting Electrical Loads

Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after starting.

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

DO NOT connect 240 Volt loads to the 120 Volt duplex receptacles.

DO NOT connect 3–phase loads to the generator.

DO NOT connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.

DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. See “Don’t Overload Generator” on page 13.

Stopping the Engine

1.Unplug ALL electrical loads from generator panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.

2.Move idle control switch to “Off” position.

3.Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize internal temperatures of engine and generator.

4.Turn engine off according to instructions given in the engine owner’s manual.

5.Move fuel valve to “Off” position.

Operating Automatic Idle Control

This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel economy. When this switch is turned ON, the engine will only run at its 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 the normal high engine

speed. Always have the switch off when starting and stopping the engine.

Charging a Battery

Your generator has the capability of recharging a discharged 12 Volt automotive or utility style storage battery. DO NOT use the unit to charge any 6 Volt batteries. DO NOT use the unit to crank an engine having a discharged battery.

DANGER

Storage batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas during recharging.

Hydrogen gas stays near battery for a long time after battery has been charged.

Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause explosion.

You can be blinded or severely injured.

Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is extremely caustic.

Contact with battery fluid will cause severe chemical burns.

DO NOT allow any open flame, spark, heat, or lit cigarette during and for several minutes after charging a battery.

Wear protective goggles, rubber apron, and rubber gloves.

To recharge 12 Volt batteries, proceed as follows:

1.Check fluid level in all battery cells. If necessary, add ONLY distilled water to cover separators in battery cells. DO NOT use tap water.

2.If battery is equipped with vent caps, make sure they are installed and are tight.

3.If necessary, clean battery terminals.

4.Connect battery charge cable connector plug to panel receptacle identified by the words “12-VOLTS D.C.”.

5.Connect battery charge cable clamp with red handle to the positive (+) battery terminal (Figure 5).
