GA-4.5R/GA-4.5RA — INITIAL START-UP ENGINE/OPERATION

6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 11 ) to the “OPEN” position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.

7.Beforethegeneratorisplacedintooperation,runtheengine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and

noises that would associate with lose components.

8.Place the idle control switch (Figure 14) in the "OFF" (down) position. This will allow the engine run at speed about 3600 RPM's

Figure 14. Idle Control Switch (3600 rpm's)

Placing the idle control switch in the down position allows the

NOTE engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's. When the idle control switch is placed in the up position (ON), the generator

will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as the load is being applied. When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.

9.Place the full power switch (Figure 15) in the "120V" (Up) position.

10.Refer to the AC voltmeter (Figure 16) on the control box. The voltage indicated on the voltmeter should be 120 VAC with no load applied.

11.If desired, verify with a voltmeter (Figure17) that 120 VAC is present at the GFCI receptacle and all three twist-lock receptacles as shown below.

is not operational (no voltage)

NOTEwhen the full power switch is in the 120V position.This receptacle is active (voltage) only when the full power switch is in the 240V position.

12.Place the full power switch (Figure 18) in the "240/ 120V" (Down) position.
