SGW-250SS — ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:CAUTION:

The engine's exhaust contains harmful emissions. ALWAYS ventilate the exhaust when operating inside tunnels, excavations or buildings. Direct exhaust away from nearby personnel.

Before Starting

1.Be sure to disconnect the electrical load and switch the main circuit breaker to the “OFF” position prior to starting the engine.

2.Never start the engine with the main circuit breaker “ON”.

3.Check the lubricating oil level prior to starting the engine. Make sure the generator is level. The oil level must be maintained between two notches on the dipstick.

4.When there is not enough lubricating oil, fill the crankcase with high grade motor oil. Use a high quality detergent oil classified CC or higher (See Table 3 on page 16).

5.Check the coolant level in the radiator and subtank. Replenish with antifreeze as necessary. Always maintain the coolant level between the FULL and LOW markings on the coolant container. Be sure that the radiator cap is fastened securely.

CAUTION:

zCheck the fuel level on the fuel gauge. When fuel is low, fill the fuel tank with clean fresh unleaded automotive gasoline.

zIf gasoline spillage occurs, completely

Starting

wipe up the spilled gasoline.

1.On the front panel of the generator, set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position (up).

2.Pull the choke knob half way out (half open).

3.Press and hold the start “push-button”switch until the engine starts, then release.

4.After the engine starts gradually push the choke knob inward, all the way back to its closed position.

5.If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after pushing start button, wait about 30 seconds and repeat steps 1 through 4. If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to Table 8, Engine Troubleshooting.

NEVER press the the “START” push-button switch while the engine is running.

6.Let the engine idle for five minutes with the Automatic Idle Control switch in the “ON” position.

7.Check the engine for abnormal vibrations, noises and oil leakage.

8.Check the generator's output voltage by connecting an AC voltmeter to the 120/240 volt output receptacles. If the voltmeter indicates 120 volts, then 120 VAC can be obtained from the 120 V and 240V receptacles at the same time.

9.Turn the Automatic Idle Control Switch to either “OFF” or “ON” for full engine operation.

Shutdown

1.Remove the load from the generator, then place both the main and GFCI circuit breakers to the OFF position.

2.Listen for the engine speed to drop. Run at low speed for 3-5 minutes.

3.Stop the engine by setting the ON/OFF switch on the generator's front panel to the OFF position.
