operation

This section is intended to assist the operator with the initial start-up of the portable generator. It is extremely important that this section be read carefully before attempting to use the generator in the field.

Before Starting the Engine

NOTICE

Both model generators are equipped with a GFCI sensing module. The purpose of this module is to sense a ground fault during operation of the generator and shut down the generator once the ground fault has been detected.

Multiquip recommends that the GFCI sensing module be tested before each use of the generator. Reference the maintenance section of this manual for the testing of the GFCI sensing module.

1.Be sure to disconnect all electrical loads from the generator prior to starting the engine.

2.NEVER start the engine with the main circuit breaker in the ON position.Always place circuit breaker (Figure 12) in the OFF position before starting.

3.Place the choke lever (Figure 14) in the OPEN position if starting a warm engine or the temperature is warm.

4.Place the generator's operation switch (Figure 15) in the ON position.

5.If your generator is a recoil start only (no battery), grasp the starter grip (Figure 16) and slowly pull it out. The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.

Proceed to step 6 if your unit is an electric start model (battery installed).

NOTICE

DO NOT pull the starter rope all the way to the end.

DO NOT release the starter rope after pulling. Allow it to rewind as soon as possible..
