BEFORE OPERATION
To prevent a possible fire, keep the generator at least 1 meter away
from building walls and other equipment during operation. Do not
place flammable objects close to the engine.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the generator is
on a level surface and the engine switch is in the OFF position.
Check the Engine
• Before each use, look around and underneath the engine for signs of
oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the engine oil level (see page 53). A low engine oil level will
cause the Oil Alert system to shut down the engine.
• Check the air filters (see page 56). Dirty air filters will restrict air flow
to the carburetor, reducing engine and generator performance.
• Check the fuel level (see page 51). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
