1. Ensure generator is at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) from
building or other equipment and not covered
with any material.
2. Refer to all warning labels prior to starting.

low. Do not overfi ll.
4. Check fuel level indicator (L). Add fuel if low.
Stop refueling when indicator reaches F (full)
level. Check fuel system components and
lines for leaks. Never refuel while unit is
running.

Starting
Rotating Parts can cause severe
injury.
Stay away while engine is in
operation.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away
from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never
operate engine with covers, shrouds, or
guards removed.
NOTE: Auto Idle (I) switch must be in OFF
position when using electric devices
that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor or a submersible
pump. Auto Idle (I) controls engine
speed according to connected load.
Results are better fuel consumption
and less noise.
NOTE: Choke is not required to start a warm
engine. Push choke lever (P) in to
original position.
