"Full" Choke
Position
•
For electric
starting:
Press start switch on
generator cradle. To prolong the life of the starter
components,
press the starter button for no more
than 15 seconds, and pause for 30 seconds.
•
For manual
starting:
Grasp the recoil handle and
pull slowly until slight resistanceis felt. Then pull
rapidly one time only to start engine.
•
If engine starts, skip the next step. If engine
fails to start, proceed to the next step.
•
Move choke lever to "Half" choke position, and pull
recoil twice.
•
If engine fails to start, repeat all steps in "To
Start The Engine" beginning on page 9.
•
Move choke lever to "Run" position. If engine
falters, move choke lever to "Half" choke position
until the engine runs smoothly and then to "Run"
position.
NOTE: If engine fails to start after 3 pulls (or
15 seconds cranking), check for proper oil level in
crankcase. This unit is equipped with a Low Oil
Shutdown System (see page 11).
STOPPING
THE ENGINE
•
Unplug all electrical loads from generator panel
receptacles. Never start or stop engine with
electrical devices plugged in and turned on.
•
Turn "Off" the Idle Control switch (if On).
•
Let engine run at no-load for several minutes to
stabilize the internal temperatures of engine and
generator.
•
Move Run/Stop switch to "Stop"
position.
•
Close fuel valve.
IMPORTANT:
Do Not overload the generator. Also,
Do Not overload individual panel receptacles. These
outlets are protected against overload with push-to-
reset-type circuit breakers. If amperage rating of any
circuit breaker is exceeded, that breaker opens and
electrical output to that receptacle is lost. Read "Don't
Overload the Generator" on page 12 carefully.
AUTOMATIC
IDLE CONTROL
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy. When this switch is turned "On," the engine
will only run at its normal fast governed engine speed
when an electrical load is connected. When the load is
removed, the engine will run at a reduced speed. With
the switch "Off," the engine runs at the normal fast
engine speed all the time. Always have the switch
OFF when starting and stopping the engine.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures below
40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your generator may
experience icing of the carburetor and/or the
crankcase breather system. In an emergency, use the
original shipping box as a temporary shelter:
•
Cut off all flaps and one of the long sides of the
box to expose exhaust side of unit. Cut appropriate
slots to access receptacles of unit.
•
Start unit, then place box over it. Ensure a
minimum of two feet clearance between open side
of box and nearest object.
IMPORTANT:
Remove shelter when temperature
is
above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator.
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is exposed,
with two feet clearance between open side of box and
nearest object. Face exposed end away from wind
and elements, as shown.
