Porter-Cable H1000IS-W To Start the Engine, Stopping Engine, Connecting Electrical Loads

Never fill fuel tank indoors. Never fill fuel tank when engine is running or hot. Do not smoke when filling fuel tank.

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

3.Make sure generator is grounded in accordance with local requirements.

4.All electrical loads MUST be disconnected.

5.Idle control switch must be in the OFF position.

6.Make sure skyhook bolts are tightened and torqued to 11-12 ft.-lbs. (132-144 in.-lbs.).

Engine speed has been factory set to provide safe operation.

Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in over- heating of attachments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to "speed-up" the en- gine to obtain more performance. Both the output voltage and frequency will be thrown out of standard by this practice, endangering attachments and the user.

You MUST unplug any load from the generator before starting to prevent permanent damage to any appliances.
