PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the generator, check for loose
or missing parts and for any damage which
may have occurred during shipment.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Set the engine switch to "ON" position.
2. Open the fuel cock.
3. Set the choke lever
to
"CLOSE"
(arrow
mark). Not necessary
if the engine is warm.
4. Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance
is felt. This is the "Compression" point. Return
the handle to its original position and pull
swiftly. Do not fully pull out the rope. After
starting. Allow the starter return to its origi-
nal position while still holding the handle. If
the engine fails to start after several attempts,
repeat above procedures with choke lever re-
turned "OPEN" position.
5. After the engine started, return the choke
lever gradually to "OPEN" position.
6. Warm up the engine without load for a few
minutes.
CAUTION: Allow generator to run at no load
for five minutes after each initial start-up to
permit engine and generator to stabilize.
DANGER: Provide adequate ventilation for
toxic exhaust gases and cooling air flow.
• Do not start or run the generator in an en-
closed area, even if doors or windows are open.
• Engines operation produces carbon monox-
ide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
• Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nau-
sea, fainting or death.
APPLYING LOAD
This unit has been pretested and adjusted to
handle its full capacity. When starting the gen-
erator, disconnect all loads. Apply load only
after the generator is running.
Voltage is regulated via the engine speed ad-
justed al the factory for correct output. Read-
justing will void warranty.
CAUTION: When applying a load, do not
exceed the maximum wattage rating of the
E N G L I S H •
generator when using one or more receptacles.
Also, do not exceed the amperage rating of
any receptacle.
SHUTTING THE GENERATOR OFF
Remove entire electrical load.
Let the engine run for a few minutes with no
load.
Move the engine switch to the "OFF" position.
(turn the key switch to "OFF" on the electrical

be put in storage or transported.
If cover is used, do not install it untill the gen-
erator is cool.

load during start period (the first two to three
hours of operation).
Controlled initial start helps insurance of
proper engine and generator operation. Fol-
