Porter-Cable D28733-034-0, PGN350 instruction manual To Start The Engine

Tampering with the engine speed adjustment could result in overheating of attach- ments and could cause a fire. Never attempt to “speed-up” the engine 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.
