OPERATION
3. Remove the nut securing the neutral ground wire and
attach the bonded jumper wire. Reinstall the nut.
4. Reinstall the alternator cover.
IMPORTANT: Apply a new "NEUTRAL UNBONDED"
Label over the "NEUTRAL BONDED TO
FRAME" label on the front of the control
panel.
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
Engine power is reduced the higher you operate above sea
level. Output will be reduced approximately 3.5% for every
1000 feet of increased altitude from sea level.
High altitude adjustment is required for operation at
altitudes over 2,000 ft. (762 m). Operation without this
adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased
fuel consumption, and increased emissions.
DO NOT operate the generator at altitudes below 2,000
ft. (762 m) with the high altitude kit installed. Engine
damage may occur.

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

The 120V/240V selector switch gives the user the ability to
double the amperage in the generator for more demanding
applications. The voltage selector switches the dual 120V
AC windings of the generator to produce 120V or 240V.
If a 240V appliance is connected to the 4-prong L14-30R
receptacle, the switch must be in the "240V" position. The
120V only outlets will not output power when the Voltage
Selector is in the 240V position.

NOTICE
Part# 518965
Only change the Voltage Selector Switch with the
generator OFF. DO NOT switch the voltage while the
generator is running or powering appliances.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated
running watts (2650 watts) during the first five hours of
operation.
Vary the load occasionally to allow stator windings to heat
and cool and help seat the piston rings.

BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR

Verify that:
• The generator is placed in a safe, appropriate location.
• The generator is on a dry, flat, and level surface.
• The engine is filled with oil.
• All loads are disconnected.
Fire and explosion hazard. DO NOT move or tip the
generator during operation.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Verify that fuel is in the gas tank.
2. Turn the fuel selector switch on the control panel to
gasoline operation.
3. Turn the fuel tank valve to the ON position.
Note: If cold starting, move the choke lever to the ON
position.
4. Push the Run/Stop switch to the Run position.
5. Firmly grasp and pull the recoil handle slowly until you
feel increased resistance, then pull rapidly.
6. After starting, allow the engine to run for several seconds
then move the Choke lever to the fully OFF position. .
