Stopping Engine, Connecting Electrical Loads

TO START THE ENGINE (Recoil start/Pull start)

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poor ventilated areas, engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

1.Open the fuel shut-off valve. Turn counter clock- wise until the valve stops. See Figure 7.

Figure 7

2.(CTE300 & T525) On the engine there is a ON/OFF switch located on the front panel of the engine. Place this switch to the "ON" position.

(BS600 & BSV800) Push OFF\RUN\START switch on control panel to the "RUN" position to start engine.

3.Move the choke control located on the engine to "CHOKE" position.

NOTE: No choke is required on warm engines. Make sure choke is in the "RUN" position on warm engine starts.

4.Grasp handle on rope starter and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let rope rewind slowly. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: IF ENGINE OIL LEVEL IS TOO LOW, EN- GINE WILL NOT START. CHECK OIL LEVEL AND ADD IF NECESSARY.

5.When engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "RUN" position.

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize.

TO START GENERATOR (Electric Start BS600 & BSV800)

IMPORTANT: Make sure the battery is properly serviced, fully charged, and assembled before start- ing.

1.Open the fuel shut-off valve. See Figure 7.

2.Move the choke control located on the engine to "CHOKE" position. A cold engine may require to be choked longer than a warm engine.

3.Push OFF\RUN\START switch on control panel to the "START" position to start engine. Hold in "START" position no longer than 15 seconds per minute when trying to start engine. Extended cranking can damage the starter motor.

NOTE: When the engine starts the switch will remain in the RUN position.

4.When engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "NO Choke" position.

IMPORTANT: Allow generator to run at no load for 5 minutes upon each initial start-up to allow engine and generator to stabilize.

STOPPING ENGINE

1.Disconnect all electrical loads.

2.(CTE300 & T525) Turn ON/OFF switch to "OFF" position.

(BS600 & BSV800) Turn OFF/RUN/START switch to "OFF" position.

3.Close fuel shut-off valve.

CONNECTING ELECTRICAL LOADS

1.Let engine run and warm up for five minutes after starting with no electrical load.

Connect loads in the following manner to prevent damage to equipment:

2.Connect inductive load equipment first, inductive loads consist of refrigerators, freezers, water pumps, air conditioners, or small hand tools. Connect the items that require the most wattage first. See Wattage Calculation Section in this manual.

3.Connect the lights next.

4.Voltage sensitive equipment should be the last equipment connected to the generator. Plug voltage sensitive appliances such at TV's, VCR's, microwaves, ovens, computers, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protec- tor, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator.

Failure to connect and operate equipment in this sequence can cause damage to equipment and will void the warranty on your generator.

Follow the wattage calculation table in the Wattage Calculation section of this manual. Overloading the generator will cause power fluctuations and can damage equipment and appliances.

Porter-Cable Corporation will only be responsible for damage to customer's equipment when the generator is determined to be defective. This determination will only be made by an authorized representative of Porter-Cable Corporation and this decision will be final. Porter-Cable Corporation reserves the right to inspect the electrical connections at the customer's site of operation and test the generator for proper operation before any determination of liability is made. Failure to maintain the equipment or wiring for inspection will void any claim for damages by the customer. Porter-Cable Corporation will not be responsible for equipment damaged as a result of voltage surges, improper operation or improper installation of the generator.
