MQ GA-2.9R — CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

1.	120V Output Receptacle – This NEMA L5-20R twist-
	lock receptacle will provide 120V, 20 amps, 60 Hz.
2.	GFCI Receptacle – This receptacle will provide 120V at
	all times.
3.	AC-Voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a mark) the
	rated 60 Hz, single phase output voltage. In addition the
	voltmeter can also be used as a diagnostic tool. If the
	voltmeter indicator (needle) is below the rated voltage,
	engine problems may exist (low/high RPM's). To prevent
	damage to the generator or power tools turn the generator
	OFF and consult your authorized MQ service dealer.
4.	Main Circuit Breaker – This single-pole 22 amp breaker
	protects the generator from short circuiting or overloading.
	When starting the generator always have the circuit breaker
	placed in the "OFF" position.

5. Ground – This ground connection point should be connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).

This ROBIN engine is equipped

NOTE with a low oil shutdown capability.A built in sensor will automatically turn off the engine should the oil level fall below a safe operating condition.

Make sure the generator is placed on level ground. Placing the generator on level ground will ensure that the low oil sensor will function properly.

6. Operation/ON-OFF Switches – Place engine ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position for normal operation. To turn- off the generator place switch in the "OFF" position.

7. Generator Housing – Contains the rotor, rectifer field coil assembly, aramature, bearings and other components that make up generator asembly.

8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system. Set spark plug gap to 0.6 - 0.7 mm (0.024 - 0.028 inch). Clean spark plug once a week.

9. Muffler/Heat Shield – Used to reduce noise and emissions. NEVER touch this heat shield when the generator is in use. Always allow time for the generator to cool down before performing maintenance.

10. Oil Dipstick/ Filler Cap– Remove the filler cap dipstick when checking the engine oil level. Add engine oil through this filler port. See Table 4 for recommended type engine oil.

WARNING

ALWAYS allow time for the generator to cool down before performing maintenance.

11. Oil Drain Plug – Remove this plug to drain engine oil from the crankcase.

12. Carburetor Fuel Cup – Inspect the fuel cup weekly for water and dirt. Clean as referenced in the maintenance section of this manual.

13. Choke Lever – Used for starting the engine. Close the choke lever when starting a cold engine or in cold weather conditions.The choke enriches the fuel mixture. Open the choke lever if starting a warm engine or in warm weather conditions.

14. Fuel Cock Lever – Turn this lever downward to start (down)the flow of fuel to the carburetor. Turn upward to stop (up) the flow of fuel.

15. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed.This unit is set at the factory and is not adjustable.

16. Recoil Starter (Pull Rope) – Used for manual-starting of the engine. Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly and smoothly.

17. Engine – This generator uses a 5.1 HP ROBIN air- cooled, 4-stroke , single cylinder, overhead camshaft gasoline engine. Engine uses unleaded fuel.

18. Air Cleaner – Prevents dirt and other debris from entering the fuel system. Remove wing-nut on top of air filter cannister to gain access to filter element. NEVER run the engine without an air cleaner.

19. Fuel Gauge – Read this gauge to determine when fuel is low.

20. Fuel Gauge/Tank – Remove this cap to add unleaded gasoline to the fuel tank. Replenish with clean unleaded gasoline. Make sure cap is tightened securely. DO NOT over fill. Fuel tank capacity is 3.17 gallons (12 liters).

21. Lifting Bail Eye – Attach a rope or chain to this lifting eye when lifting of the generator is required. Never stand underneath the generator while it is being lifted. Place lifting eye in down position when not in use.
