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, ENGINE 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.

STOPPING ENGINE

1. Disconnect all electrical loads.

2.Turn ON/OFF 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 Calcu- lation 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, micro- waves, ovens, computers, and cordless telephones into a UL listed voltage surge protector, then connect the UL listed voltage surge protector to the generator.
