STARTING
Never use gaso- line, paint thinner,
or any other flammable liquid as a starting aid. An explosion may occur.
IMPORTANT: The engine speed is preset. The throttle is locked in preset position. Do not adjust throttle. Preset position lets engine run at 3600 RPM under load. The engine must maintain 3600 RPM for generator to create correct voltage. Running engine at lower speeds will damage generator and powered items.
IMPORTANT: Never start generator with electrical loads connected. Start engine before adding electrical loads.
1.Make sure fuel tank is full. See “Fuel,” page 8 for fuel information.
