OPERATING THE
GENERATOR
CAUTION!
Never start or stop the engine with
electrical loads connected to the unit and with the
connected devices turned ON.

Starting the Engine

Disconnect all electrical loads from the generator. Use the
following start instructions:
• Be sure the spark plug wire is attached to the spark plug.
• Turn the fuel valve to the "Open" position (fully
clockwise) (Figure 4).
Figure 4 — Fuel Valve in Open Position
• Slide the choke lever to the "Choke" position (all the
way to the right) (Figure 5).

• Place the engine switch in the "On" position (Figure 6).
Figure 6 — Engine Switch in On Position
• Grasp starter grip and slowly pull the rope until you feel
some resistance, then pull the cord out with a rapid full
arm stroke. Let rope return slowly. Do Not let rope
"snap back" against the unit.
NOTE: If engine starts after 3 pulls, but fails to run for
more than 10 seconds, check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit is equipped with a Oil Alert System
(see page 7).
• Slide the choke lever left to the "Run" position as the
engine warms up.
NOTE: Under no load conditions, the engine speed may
vary slightly faster or slower until engine temperatures
stabilize.
CAUTION!
in enclosed poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly
gas.

Connecting Electrical Loads

• Let engine stabilize and warm up for a few minutes after
starting.
• Do Not connect 240 Volt loads to 120 Volt receptacles.
• Do Not connect 3–phase loads to the generator.
• Do Not connect 50 Hz loads to the generator.
• Plug in and turn on the desired 120 Volt AC, single
phase, 60 Hertz electrical loads.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD THE GENERATOR. Add up
the rated watts (or amps) of all loads to be connected at
one time. This total should not be greater than the rated
wattage/amperage capacity of the generator. See "Don't
Overload the Generator" on page 9.
