OPERATION

Generator Location

NEVER operate the generator inside any building, including
garages, basements, crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure or
compartment, including the generator compartment of a
recreational vehicle. Please consult your local authority. In
some areas, generators must be registered with the local
utility. Generators used at construction sites may be subject
to additional rules and regulations. Generators should be on
a flat, level surface at all times. (Even while not in operation)
Generators must have at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) of clearance from
all combustible material. In addition to clearance from all
combustible material, generators must also have at least 3 ft.
(91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to allow for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing. Generators should never be started
or operated in the back of a SUV, camper, trailer, in the bed
of a truck (regular, flat or otherwise vehicle including), under
staircases/stairwells, next to walls or vans or buildings, or in
any other location that will not allow for adequate cooling of the
generator and/or the muffler. DO NOT contain generators during
operation. Allow generators to properly cool before transport or
storage.
Place the generator in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT place the
generator near vents or intakes where exhaust fumes could
be drawn into occupied or confined spaces. Carefully consider
wind and air currents when positioning generator.
Failure to follow proper safety precautions will void
manufacturer's warranty.
WARNING

Do not operate or store the generator in rain, snow, or wet
weather.
Using a generator or electrical appliance in wet conditions,
such as rain or snow, or near a pool or sprinkler system,
or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution.
WARNING

During operation the muffler and exhaust fumes will
become hot. If adequate cooling and breathing space are
not supplied, or if the generator is blocked or enclosed,
temperatures can become extremely heated and may lead
to fire.
NEVER try to extend or modify the muffler/exhaust, by doing
so will void and warranties offered.

Surge Protection

Electronic devices, including computers and many
programmable appliances use components that are designed
to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected
by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to
prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect
sensitive electronic equipment.
– Install plug-in surge suppressors on the outlets feeding your
sensitive equipment.
Surge suppressors come in single- or multi-outlet styles.
They're designed to protect against virtually all short-
duration voltage fluctuations.

Starting the Engine

1. Make certain the generator is on a flat, level surface.
2. Disconnect all connected electrical loads from the
generator. Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
3. Turn the petrol fuel valve to the "ON" position.
4. Push the engine switch to the "ON" position.
5. Move the choke to the CHOKE position. Note: for restarting
a warm engine, move the choke to 75% of the CHOKE
position.
