Stopping The Engine; Cold Weather Operation - Troy-Bilt 01924 Manual Del Propietário

Section 4: Operation

Stopping the Engine

1. Turn OFF and unplug all electrical loads from generator
panel receptacles. NEVER start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned ON.
2. Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to stabilize
internal temperatures of engine and generator.
3. Turn engine off according to engine owner's manual.
4. Move fuel valve to "Off" position.
RECEPTACLES
CAUTION
Receptacles may be marked with rating value greater
than generator output capacity.
• NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
• DO NOT overload the generator. See "Don't Overload
Generator".
120/240 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Locking
Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14–20 plug with this receptacle. Connect a
4–wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps (or
greater) (Figure 5).You can use the same 4–wire cord if you
plan to run a 120 Volt load.

NEMA L14-20
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz, single
phase loads requiring up to 3,550 watts of power

(3.55 kW) at 14.8 Amps for 240 Volts or two independent
120 Volt loads at 14.8 Amps each.The outlet is protected
by push–to–reset circuit breakers.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex
Receptacles
Each duplex receptacle (Figure 6) is protected against
overload by a push–to–reset circuit breaker.
Figure 6 — 120 Volt, 20 Amp Duplex Receptacle
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single–phase,
60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to 1,775 watts
(1.775 kW) at 14.8 Amps of current. Use cord sets that are
rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 15 Amps (or greater).
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] combined with high humidity), your generator
may experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system.To reduce this problem, you
need to perform the following:
1. Make sure generator has clean, fresh fuel.
2. Open fuel valve (turn valve to open position).
3. Use SAE 5W-30 oil (synthetic preferred, see engine
manual).
4. Check oil level daily or after every eight (8) hours of
operation.
5. Maintain generator following "Maintenance Schedule"
in engine manual.
6. Shelter unit from elements.
